Learn About Black Bamboo Plants In Pots

By Nancy Richardson


Black bamboo is a plant species that produces flowers as it grows old. The family it belongs to is called Poaceae. Phyllostachys nigra is the scientific name given to this plant. Although is it now cultivated in almost all regions of the world, it originated in the Chinese province of Hunan. Today, people from all over the world raise black bamboo plants in pots for several reasons including beautification of offices and homes.

The plant grows to form slender, arching canes, which turn their color to blackish after 2-3 seasons of growth. There are close relatives of the plant, which some people opt for including f. Henonis. Mature canes can grow to a height of three to five meters into the sky. The height is dependent on several factors such as light exposure and fertility of the soil. This plant rarely produces flowers and seeds and if it does, they last a very short time. Reproduction is mostly through underground rhizomes.

The society today has many uses for Phyllostachys nigra. In China, the plant has been used as a food source for a long time. It is also a good source of lumber and fuel. The lumber derived from them is useful for making musical instruments and furniture among other products. Floorings are an example of products made from the canes.

There are many companies that are now specialized in producing and distributing this plant to people. Such firms do all the ground work to ensure that clients have beautiful looking plants that they need. Clients can choose to pot the plant themselves or they can order ones that are already potted. Most companies that make supplies are comfortable with either option. Some suppliers also supply other accessories such as pots.

Sellers maintain websites from which clients can place orders for this plant. Websites present buyers with several payment methods so that they can choose whichever is most suitable for them. Most companies try to make deliveries within the shortest time possible to avoid inconveniences. One should provide all relevant information at the time of order placement to make deliveries easier.

The uses of potted black bamboo plants are very many in modern lifestyles. The pots may be placed inside or outside buildings. When they occupy outside space, they make the vicinity look beautiful. Coupling the beauty they present with resistance to drought and frost, they become very attractive to beginners in gardening. The quality of being able to resist drought and frost makes them very preferable by many people worldwide.

The amount of care needed by this bamboo species to thrive is minimal. The plant helps in boosting the aesthetic value of a place when placed indoors. It also improves indoor air quality. The carbon dioxide that is exhaled by people is taken in by plants to make food while they release oxygen. That prevents CO2 from accumulating in the space, which freshens the air.

The plant also helps in minimizing noise levels in offices. The leaves are very effective at absorbing noise that originates from echoes and halls. It achieves this by modifying the acoustic properties of the space.
