1.Fast Growth: Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world. It has been recorded at growing 47.6 inches in 24 hours. Some species can even grow over a meter per day under optimal conditions. A new bamboo shoot reaches its full height in less than a year.
2. Oxygen Release: A grove of bamboo releases 35% more oxygen than any other tree out there.
3. Carbon Dioxide Absorption: Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide at a rate of 17 tons per hectare every year. It can act as a valuable carbon sink given how fast the plant grows.
4. No Fertilizer Required: Bamboo doesn’t need fertilizer to grow. It can self-mulch by dropping its leaves and use the nutrients to grow.
5. Drought Resistance: Bamboos are drought-tolerant plants. They can grow in the desert.
6. Wood Replacement: Bamboos can be harvested in 3-5 years compared to the 20-30 years of most softwood trees.
7. Building Material: Bamboo is incredibly strong and sturdy. It has been used as support for concrete as well as scaffolding, bridges, and houses.
8. Soil Stability: Bamboo has a wide network of underground roots and rhizomes that prevent soil erosion.
9. Natural Air Conditioner: Bamboo cools the air surrounding it by up to 8 degrees in the summer.
10. Invasiveness: Some species of bamboo, especially ‘running’ bamboos, can be invasive due to their extensive root systems, which allow them to spread rapidly. However, not all species are invasive, and with proper management, the environmental impact can be minimized.

The fastest-growing plant in the world that we know of is bamboo. The bamboo plants growth rate has seen it enter the Guinness Book of World Records. This plant, grown in the United Kingdom, was found to have grown by up to 91 centimetres, or 35 inches, in a single day at a rate of 0.00002mph. This plant was of the 45 genera of bamboo, one of nearly 1,000 species known to man. Bamboo has been known to grow so rapidly that it can reach heights of up to 40 meters high, the equivalent of 130 feet. This means that the tallest known bamboo plant is taller than a 10-story building, is nearly twice the size as the Angel of the North and is the same length as the largest dinosaur ever discovered.
This makes bamboo incredibly useful. Not only does it grow rapidly, but it is also incredibly versatile and can be used for a wide number of uses, some of which you may not have even considered before. This is where Panda Soft come in.
