Growing habits:

Xiandong bamboo likes warm and humid environment, is not resistant to low temperature, is very resistant to shade, and can not directly and quietly bask in the sun; The optimum growth temperature is 20 ~ 25℃, not lower than 10℃ in winter and not higher than 32℃ in summer.

Ornamental value:

Compared with bamboo, the turtle back of Xiandong is smaller and more lovely, and the holes are particularly novel and unique. When it grows into vines, it can also be used for hanging decorations.
