Poganantherum paniceum
'Baby Panda Bamboo'

The native habitat of Baby Panda includes south East Asia.

Uses: Fresh and leafy with exotic appeal, this plant is great for bench tops, tabletops, and window sills.  It will adapt to low light in a bathroom or high light on a window sill.
Growth Habit: Found naturally along the rocky banks of rainforest streams where a large canopy opening admits sunlight.  The best developed plants grow in full sun with constant moisture.  At the edges of waterfalls plants develop into a long pendulous clump.  In landscaped gardens in Singapore and Malaysia it is used as a fine textured bright green ground cover to soften the edges of rocks and steps.
Growing Guide: Filtered light to full sun.  Excellent indoor plant, balcony plant or tub specimen.  Prefers a lot of water to remain fresh and green.  It even likes to sit in a saucer of water.  You need not be afraid of over watering this plant.  Use controlled release fertiliser or regular liquid fertiliser applications.
