The culms are typically thick-walled and have a rough texture. The leaves are lance-shaped and arranged along the culms, adding to the plant's lush appearance. It thrives in warm, humid environments with well-draining soil. This bamboo is often used for construction due to its durable culms. Propagation is best through rhizome division. Regular watering and fertilization during the growing season are essential for healthy growth. Provide ample space for the bamboo to expand. Pruning can help to maintain the plant's shape and encourage new growth.
