Growing Black Bamboo Plants In Pots Ideas

By Kenneth Burns


There are several people who believe in luck. In fact, many consider that 'luck is destiny'. Each one of us would have come across situations where our hard work was not rewarded with success. Contrastingly, there would have been situations wherein we wouldn't have done anything but got a big surprise. It may be one of the instances like winning a dance or music competition even if we hadn't given our 100%, or winning a lottery. It is then we realize that luck has knocked at our doors. The black bamboo plants in pots are now common in homes and offices for this purpose.

If a black bamboo plant is beautiful and stylish to have, learning how to care for it is equally fun and worth the effort. Since it is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, the fruits of your labor would be there for you to see within a short period of time.

Place it beside a sick person in the house and he/she will feel an improvement in health. When you have this plant at home or office, you don't have to worry about pests as this plant is absolutely pest-resistant and requires minimal requirements for its survival. Moreover, they don't need fertilizers. All you need to do is just change the water about once a week and the plant will flourish well. According to an Ancient science of Feng Shui tells us that the lucky bamboo plant brings wellness to the house as it perfectly represents the five elements of our life earth, water, wood, metal, and fire. This can be explained as follows.

They belong to the fastest growing variety of grass in the world and are extremely cheap as they are available in abundance. Some type can grow up to 60 feet in height. They grow quickly, which makes it easier to use them when compared to other types of trees. Using bamboos can help us in protecting our environment in a better way.

Make sure you are using a good draining potting soil. A good rule of thumb is to have the pot large enough to leave a 2-inch gap between the root ball and container's edge. Although moderate sunlight is required by most species, a place with about 6 hours of direct sunlight would be ideal. Just like sunlight, the plant could do with a moderate amount of watering. Going overboard with this often results in rotting of the roots. A good idea is to observe the growth pattern to see how well it reacts, and adjust the watering routine accordingly.

Wood-In Feng Shui, wood represents the beginning of life. Just as spring marks the beginning of a new season, the wood is also considered as a symbol of the new beginning in life.

Earth- the plant grows in a pot containing rocks, pebbles, and clay all of which are considered as the important elements of earth. Metal- traditionally the lucky bamboo has been grown on glass pots that contain Feng Shui metal elements. However, if the pot is not glass-made and made of other materials like clay or ceramics, then the people usually have a metal coin or metal figurine attached to the pot. The coins are made of gold, silver, copper, bronze and brass.

Hence, by following these simple steps you can decorate your home in an environmentally friendly way. Not only is it good for the environment, it is good for you too. So next time, whether you are building a new home or re-decorating your old one, give a shot at this plant, you surely wouldn't be disappointed. The plants are now widely available and can even order from online stores.
