Bamboo joint grass prefers warm and humid environments and is not resistant to severe cold, so it overwinters by creeping. It usually sprouts and blooms around March. It often lives in shallow waters of lakes, ponds, ditches, and rivers.
The main planting method is to propagate by creeping. The joints often have adventitious roots, making it easy to propagate by cuttings.
The cultivation and maintenance of the plants require strong growth and less intensive management.
