Growing Bamboo In Containers

Bamboo can be an ideal plant for growing in containers and it can be pleasing to the eyes to see several bamboo in glazed containers or planters showing off in the patio.

Any gardener can make use of available space on patios, porches, verandas or driveways that can stand a pot or two to grow bamboo in containers. I have scoured through my neigbourhood and manage to find one family growing running bamboo in a pot along the corridor.

Running Bamboo In A Pot

I have observed that bamboo are quite popular with shops owers and office. Below bamboo in white glazed containers are simple but merge well with the surrounding. So choose container colours that will complement both the bamboo and your garden and property, soft pastel shades are best that will not distract from the beauty of the bamboo.

Below bamboo in planters infront of an offices also merge well with the surrounding and breaks the monotonous corridors. My two cents, avoid using plastic containers as they will not do the majestic bamboo justice and plastic containers are just not heavy enough, especially for tall bamboo, they will blow over on a windy day.

Bamboo grown in containers are not likely to grow as big or as well as they do in open ground, but they are still ideal as attractive and majestic decorative container plants and adding something special to a garden and property.
