The Bamboo Palm is a graceful, clump-forming palm with slender, cane-like stems and soft, arching green fronds, resembling bamboo in appearance.

It is also well known as an excellent air-purifying plant, adding both visual appeal and environmental benefits.

Best Growing Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light indoors or partial to full shade outdoors. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil or quality potting mix with good organic content.
