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.

For the black bamboo to thrive, a lot of effort has to be put into it. Watering is a must and should always be done. The most appropriate time to carry it out is when there is no too much heat to reduce cases of the water evaporating. It should also be carried out using a special type of container perforated on the base to reduce the force of water coming out which may result to uprooting the plant.

When the plant is in its young age, the stem is mostly weak and care support have to be provided. This is achieved through placing some stones or pebbles on its base to support the stem. A stick may also be used to offer support. It is pinned next to the stem and the plant tied on it using some strings and made to grow in the desired position.

Light is of very much importance in the growth of plants. It is common to see them growing towards a source of light if the area they are placed is not well ventilated. A pot should be placed in a region where sunlight is able to get to it. Direct sunlight may be avoided when it is too hot to avoid cases where the bamboo dries up due to too much heat.

It is common to all plant being affected by pest or some diseases. They may end up dying if the required care is not taken up in the right time. The bamboo should be sprayed with pesticides to ensure that that its not affected by pest. Water can also be used to gently rinse the stems and leaves in cases where small insects such as spiders and aphids are seen.

Since the bamboo will be growing, it will reach a point where there will be need to transfer it to another pot or garden. This is the trickiest part in bringing it up since it is likely to dry up if it is not well carried out. The roots should be well uprooted with a lump of soil on them to ensure that they remain in place.

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. They are associated with pests and diseases. They are then weeded immediately they start growing. Care should also be taken not to mess with the bamboo roots.

Pruning is carried out whenever there is excess growth of leaves and stems. The weak one should be the ones to be pruned. It is undertaken by cutting them off. Care should also be taken to ensure that the main stems or healthy leaves are not affected in any way.
