How To Take Care Of Black Bamboo Plants In Pots

By Alta Alexander


Bamboos are not often considered when you think of plant decorations. Most people fail to notice the fact that it is one of the most versatile design items because it fits to any type of landscape as well as any interior designing needs. You have the option of letting it freely grow by planting it in the ground directly. If you desire to put it somewhere inside your home, you will have to pot it.

Just like any other plant species, they also need proper care and maintenance. Since they can grow more than any other plant, it would be best to look out for them and their progress to make sure that no issues would arise. Black bamboo plants in pots would soon outgrow their containers. And when this time comes, you have to think of effective measures to make sure that their health would not be affected by it.

It is important that the container is just right for the growth of the roots for plant health reasons. This is important to ensure that all of the nutrients you are giving them would be absorbed well. If you an see that the plant is slowly wilting away, you should remember that this might be caused by the suffocation of the roots. During these times, no matter how much you water it, it would still be useless.

One thing that you have to remember is to chose the plant wisely. There are various types that needs to be considered. You should not be thinking about the normal ones since they can grow taller and may cause issues rather than help you improve the designs. There are also many types of containers to choose from. The type of specie and the pot must always be the same.

If one plant is ruined, it could mean the ruin of the entire landscape. And when it is put inside the home, you would have no other choice but to remove it and place it in another spot while you nurse it back to health.

When choosing the type of bamboo specie you will be using, you have to know first where you are planning to put it. This is so that you can assess the amount of sunlight and shade that they will be getting for the entire day. Each specie have their own features and nutrient needs. You might also consider the purpose of putting them there. There are others who want to place them in certain places for privacy purposes.

If the plant has outgrew the pot, there are two ways that you can manage this. The first way would be the easier one which is to put it in a larger pot. However, if the size and the continuous growth is something that is bothering you, you can control this by dividing the plant and delegating them to smaller pots.

There is a need to take note of the temperatures during extreme seasons. For example, the winter season. Normally, these plants can survive. However, there are certain places in the world were the temperature is too extreme that you need to make use of mulches to maintain moisture.

Then there is the summer season. Water and moisture can easily evaporate because of the heat. And because they are not on the ground, there is no continuous supply for water. You have to be certain that the soil will not dry out too much.
