A Look At Black Bamboo Plants In Pots

By Anna Butler


A room that has been decorated with bamboo plants grown in ports seems beautiful. There are many colors of containers and the choice is dependent on the likes of owner. When in garden, the chances of it spreading as a weed are minimized because the pot prevents this bad act. Having Black Bamboo Plants in pots is better than growing it on ground because it can be moved from one place to another. This is nice in that it can help in making a venue a bit beautiful when used for decoration purposes.

They do well when planted in vessels irrespective of the species. Another important thing to note is that different species have different rate of growth. Species that have high growth rate, their roots are likely to bind to the pot after a short duration of time. This is an important factor to consider when choosing the species.

Sunlight really affects their rate of growth. Different types have different requirements of sunlight. If you intend to keep them within the room, choose that does not require a lot of sunlight. Choose the smaller ones if the space within the room is limited. Never choose tall ones if you intend to place them within the room.

Some species are fast growers and are said to be running type. For the running type their roots become vessel bound after less time and therefore require replacement. If precautionary measures are not taken in time, it may die. Clumping ones are slow growers and may take longer periods before there is need for replacement.

When roots have occupied almost the entire space within the container, one needs to find the way out to prevent it from drying. Dividing is normally done so as to save it. During this case, the numbers of roots are reduced and the new fresh soil filled into the container. It is normally advisable to be done when the rate of growth is less especially during winter and the spring.

On the other hand, repotting can be done during any part of the year without worrying the season. In any of the process one is advised not to interfere with the root balls as it may cause the plant to dry. Usually bamboos in containers do not get the usual insulation by the soil hence are therefore greatly affected by extreme temperature changes. During cold seasons, it is advisable to wrap the container with an insulation material such as burlap or moving it indoor.

Water it during the winter and in summer too. During summer it loses so much water through evaporation and it is therefore recommended to keep watering for its betterment. Root ball helps in determining its future size. A smaller one results into plants that are small and short.

When acquiring a nice vessel for the plant go for which will enhance stability once planted. Consider a shorter one which is which is wide. This helps in maintaining the stability. Some people do fill the container with rocks at the bottom to enhance the stability. Choose the color of interest.
