I got a bamboo plant for a housewarming gift, and need care instructions. I wondered what temp I need to keep it at. I do not know what species it is, it did not have anything with it.

I have one and it is really easy to take care of. No direct sunlight, indirect is best. Room temperature is good, I keep my house cool (60's) and it does fine all year. Keep water in the vase about an inch from the bottom. I just found this site, I don't do some of this. Check it out.

I have bamboo plants all over the place. Easy to maintain and calming. Main thing is to keep them supplied with fresh water. Change out the water every few days, or once a week.

*hint* if you use water straight from the tap then let it sit for a little bit so the chlorine can dissipate. If you use a filter of some kind then just use that straight.
