Bamboo plant?

Im obsessed with the chinese culture (the old culture) but my bamboo plants leaves keep dropping, the man I bought it from said not to give it direct sunlight (dont know why) so why would the leaves be drooping and getting dry/ and crinkely???

Bamboo plant?
you need to keep bamboo in constant standing water (DISTILLED WATER ONLY!!!) change out the water if the leaves start turning yellow. If the leaves turn brown, get it out of the sun for a while. Definitely no direct sun light EVER! :)
Reply:Maybe the place you have it gets too warm at some point in the day. Bamboo -- while related to grass -- is not as resilient as grass, and so need some steady temps and clean water. If it's getting too warm that could be the problem.





I've had a bamboo plant in my kitchen for nearly 6 years and I have to trim mine back. It gets regular tap water, no extra fertilizer, NO direct sunlight, and is usually at a regulated temp of 65-80 degrees depending on the season.
