Rich, well-drained loamy soil with organic matter or hydroponic substrate for indoor.
Keep soil consistently moist during growing season. Reduce in winter. High water demand compared to typical houseplants.
Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. Needs ample light for robust culm development and color retention.
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer monthly during spring and summer growth periods. Avoid high nitrogen late summer.
Remove dead culms at ground level annually. Thin out old canes every 2-3 years to encourage new vigorous growth.
