By Alta Alexander


If you want to complete the design of your home and add the finishing touches to the entire landscape, you should think about the final plant to add to it. For this part, there are actually a lot of suggestions that you can consider. Bamboo plants would be the perfect candidate for it. They can easily be placed in any part of the home or the yard.

Taking care of these types of plants may be as easy as taking care of the more common ones. However, you have to remember that it can grow more compared to the other landscape plants. If you put it in the pot, there will always come a time when black bamboo plants in pots would outgrow your containers. To properly take care of it, you have to maintain it well.

When the plant grows from the pot, it would not be able to get the right amount of nutrients needed. And if this happens, it would be hard for it to grow well. This is the reason why it will die or not grow no matter how much you take care of it. The fertilizers and proper watering would not do any good during these times.

Choosing the plant that you would want to put in a specific area would depend on the placement of the bamboos. And you need to choose the ones that are that are not meant to grow too much. If you are going to use the normal ones, it can easily grow all over the place and consume the remaining space in your pot in an instant. You should also be choosing the right containers for each plant.

Once the plant is ruined and it starts wilting away, it would be a huge waste of effort. You need to pay close attention to the ones that you have at the moment. It is even more alarming if the one having issues are those that are placed inside.

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.

When you feel that all of them have outgrew their pots already, you have two ways to solve this. First is to transfer it to another pot. It has to be bigger so that it can easily fit the roots. It should also have more space so that it can still continue to grow. If you are not very keen in transferring to another pot, you can always have it divided to smaller portions so that it can be delegated to smaller ones.

You also have to be wary of the changing seasons. When winter comes, it is not that detrimental to potted bamboos. However, freezing temperatures will have their effect. They are not in the ground which means that they do not have water supply or insulation that they could rely on. You can make use of mulches to protect them.

This is also the same for higher temperatures. Because of the lack of natural water supply and the heat of the sun, you can expect that the moisture would easily evaporate. It is advised that you constantly water your bamboos everyday.
