This species is a superior hedge bamboo with deep green color and pencil thin culms it is resistant to cold and is a low maintenance variety. One interesting aspect is that when a culm is cut, it stops from growing any taller, and the leaves branch out wider instead. Multiplex Bamboo loves full sun and it is very drought resistant. Regarding watering, more water means more growth. However, standing water may result in rotting of the rhizome of the bamboo plant, which causes the plant to die.
