Plants can be grown at any given place provided the conditions that favors their growth are provided. This has made it possible for those without gardens to have trees and flowers of their own. Others have also been involved in mass production of farm products yet they do not own farms. There are some important things that would be of much help to those interested in growing black bamboo plants in pots.
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.
The plant will need some support when growing. Some pebbles are carefully places on its base to support the stem. Any type of pebble can be used be it normal stones or others. A support stick may also be pinned inside the pot and the stem made to lie on it. Some strings may be used to enhance the support.
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.
The necessary measures to protect it from being infested by pests and diseases should be carried out. This includes fumigating it with the most appropriate pesticides. The correct fertilizer should also be used to avoid any side effects. Rinsing the leaves with clean water helps in sweeping of any insects that may be on them such as spiders and aphids.
It will reach a point when the blank bamboo will grow to a size that can no longer be supported by the pot. This calls in for re-potting or replanting it on a garden. This is a tricky procedure as it is likely to dry up if care is not taken. It should be uprooted with a lump of soil to ensure that the roots are not destroyed. Watering must be carried out in their new location to ensure continuity of growth.
Weeding is carried out to remove any other plants growing alongside the bamboo. They are likely to cause competition of growth affecting the required plant to thrive well. It should be carried out immediately any weeds are seen growing.
Pruning need to be carried out also. This is the activity of removing the excess leaves or stems. The ones removed are those that seem weak and not healthy. They are removed through cutting them off. The activity should be well carried out to avoid causing some damage on the plant.
