2.Light: Rice bamboo prefers full sunlight, but can also tolerate shade. In home farming, rice bamboo can be placed indoors in a well-lit place, such as a balcony or next to a window, to keep it well ventilated.
3.Temperature: The suitable growth temperature of rice bamboo is 15-25, and it is necessary to pay attention to shade and ventilation in the high temperature in summer, and avoid exposure to the sun and high temperature and humidity environment. In winter, you need to keep warm and keep the indoor temperature stable above 10.

When repotting, care should be taken not to damage the root system, and the plant should be watered thoroughly after moving it into the new potting soil.
4.Prevent exposure to the sun: In summer, when the temperature is high, it is necessary to pay attention to prevent the rice bamboo from being exposed to the sun, so as to avoid yellowing or falling off the leaves. Rice bamboo can be placed indoors in a well-ventilated area, or shade nets can be used for shade.
5.Maintain ventilation: When farming indoors, it is necessary to maintain good ventilation to avoid diseases and insect infestations. You can improve indoor air quality by opening windows regularly for ventilation or by using equipment such as air purifiers.
