The fact that some individuals have no garden does not mean that they cannot have plants of their own. It is possible to carry out this activity in a container provided all the conditions required will be availed. Some indoor settings are decorated using indoor plants. There are important things that those who would like consider planting black bamboo plants in pots should know.

They have to ensure that the regularly water the bamboo in the pot. Watering should be carried out in the evenings and mornings when there is no much heat to minimize cases of the water to get evaporated. Special cans should also be used to ensure that the force in which water flows from them does not cause any damage on the plant. The pressure is likely to uproot it if high.

The plant will need some support when growing. Some pebbles are carefully places on its base to support the stem. Any type of pebble can be used be it normal stones or others. A support stick may also be pinned inside the pot and the stem made to lie on it. Some strings may be used to enhance the support.

Light is needed by almost all types of plants. The black bamboo is no exception and it has to be provided with enough of it. The pot containing it should be placed in an area with enough sunlight. The place should only allow for enough of it since when availed in excess may result to a lot of heat which may dry the plant.

There are certain types of diseases and pesticides that are known to infest black bamboos. The correct insecticides and pesticides should be applied on them in case there are signs of infestation. Rinsing the leaves with water is also likely to wash away small insects such as spiders and aphids.

It will reach a point when the blank bamboo will grow to a size that can no longer be supported by the pot. This calls in for re-potting or replanting it on a garden. This is a tricky procedure as it is likely to dry up if care is not taken. It should be uprooted with a lump of soil to ensure that the roots are not destroyed. Watering must be carried out in their new location to ensure continuity of growth.

Weeds are likely to grow on the pot and hinder with the bamboo growth. Weed will compete for survival with plants and may lead to it drying or deteriorating in health.
