Importance Of 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.

It is true that almost all species of bamboo can do well when grown in pots. However some species may require more care and attention than others. It important to know the amount of time available to provide efficient care for the species you intend to grow. Some species also grow more vigorously than others. This indicates that some pots become more root bound quicker than others depending on type of species present.

Before deciding the type to be placed within the container, consider the amount of sunlight available in the point where the container will rest. It also very important to consider the size desired before choosing the species. If a container is to be kept in a room with a roof close to the surface, consider going for shorter species rather than for a tall one.

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.

Once a containerized type becomes roots bound, an appropriate precautionary measure need to be taken. One may either decide to repot it or divide it for its betterment. Dividing is mainly carried out during the winter and the spring to prohibit it from dying. This is the most appropriate time because the rate of growth is at minimum.

Repotting involves placing it in a new vessel which is likely to be larger. This process is less delicate and can be done any month of the year irrespective of the season. Abnormal changes in temperature may make it unhealthy since there is less insulation of roots because are close to the surface. The negative effect may be reduced by covering the vessel with burlap which acts as an insulator during cold seasons. Taking it indoor could help too.

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 choosing a nice pot, go for one that is short and a bit stable. This is because after the plant grows taller, the wind may make it topple over. They should be wide too to increase the stability. Before planting, fill the container with rocks at the bottom to enhance the stability.
