black bamboo
I have managed to kill off an extremely expensive black bamboo that I
had in a large pot. Can anyone advise if they do require large amounts of water or could I have overdone it. It looked fairly healthy when I bought it. Do bamboos in pots require special feeding? I'd like to have another go but as it's an expensive mistake, don't want to repeat it. Should they be given special treatment in winter? |

om... I have managed to kill off an extremely expensive black bamboo that I had in a large pot. Can anyone advise if they do require large amounts of water or could I have overdone it.

Should they be given special treatment in winter? Maria, Sorry for your loss. It is easy to over water bamboo in pots. In the winter I have found that they prefer dryer well drained soil. The same plant that in the summer grows great sitting in a pan of water will tip burn the leaves because of to much water if the soil is moist inside in winter. With most bamboos you can watch the leaves and figure out the water needs. If you water to much the leaves will die starting at the tips. If you under water most bamboos the leaves will start to roll into a tube. Also try to keep the humidity up around the plant by sitting the pot on a tray full of pebbles with water in the bottom and misting. Bill w_hollenbackathotmail.com |

I paid for a start of Black Bamboo and got this tiny little piece of
root with just the start of a new root coming from it. I hope it does ok, I put it in a pot so I can feed water it and I hope if it gets big enough I can add it to my High Mojave Desert garden. -- Dragons Must Fly when Thread's in the Sky www.starlords.org "sOOZee fAgg" wrote in message ...
