Planting a Bamboo Shoot?

I have a bamboo shoot rooting in water. It's ready to plant but I have no idea what kind of soil to plant it in or how much water and sunlight it needs.

Planting a Bamboo Shoot?
You don't need soil. Take a colored glass container because it will get dirty inside (more in a minute). Hold the stalk upright in the middle of the glass and anchor in place with marbles or smooth aquarium stone from a pet store. Fill with water and add more when it needs it. They like a fairly bright room but not directly in the sun. Finally, don't take the plants out and clean them. My mum and sisters kill these plants because they are in clear glass and they don't like how it gets dirty. You wouldn't pull your regular plants out and wash them off, right? Mine have been great for four years now.
Reply:sandy soil is fine or at least a mix with sand..Lots of sun is good and so is water..i don t think you can over water it......but if you plant it in your yard first put it in a 10 " pot or bigger if you want a larger mass, with the " bottom cut out". This will keep it from spreading out in the yard as it will send out roots that sprout new shoots...It can get out of control after a few years. Otherwise keep it in a pot with a matching saucer,sandy mixed soil with good amount of sun and water it well and let it dry before rewatering......
Reply:Plant in decorative rocks and fill with water. It will do fine in your kitchen window sill or your living room mantle or bathroom.
Reply:Any soil can do..

bamboo is quite excellent on planting in extreme condition.
