Facts Concerning Black Bamboo Plants In Pots

By Nancy Richardson


Black bamboo is a certain species of bamboo that produces flowers at some point during its life cycle. It belongs to the Poaceae grass family. The scientific name of this plant is Phyllostachys nigra. Although widely cultivated in the whole world now, the place of origin is in the Chinese province of Hunan. Today many people from all the continents raise black bamboo plants in pots for cosmetic reasons in their homes and offices.

Old plants have green, slender canes that form arch shape. Canes turn in color to black after three seasons of growth. Close relatives to this plant include f. Henonis. Most full-grown canes can reach five meters in height. Height is influenced by many factors including fertility of the soil and exposure to light. Production of flowers and seeds is very rare and lasts shortly. In fact, it is extremely hard to spot one that has flowers. Underground rhizomes are the main mode of reproduction.

Today the number of uses for Phyllostachys nigra has increased. In China, native communities eat young leaves and stems as food. Other uses include being used as fuel and lumber sources. Lumber from this plant is used in making pieces of furniture and instruments of music. Production of floorings based on the cane has also increased in the recent years.

There are many companies that are now specialized in producing and distributing this plant to people. Such firms do all the ground work to ensure that clients have beautiful looking plants that they need. Clients can choose to pot the plant themselves or they can order ones that are already potted. Most companies that make supplies are comfortable with either option. Some suppliers also supply other accessories such as pots.

Sellers maintain websites from which clients can place orders for this plant. Websites present buyers with several payment methods so that they can choose whichever is most suitable for them. Most companies try to make deliveries within the shortest time possible to avoid inconveniences. One should provide all relevant information at the time of order placement to make deliveries easier.

The uses of potted black bamboo plants are very many in modern lifestyles. The pots may be placed inside or outside buildings. When they occupy outside space, they make the vicinity look beautiful. Coupling the beauty they present with resistance to drought and frost, they become very attractive to beginners in gardening. The quality of being able to resist drought and frost makes them very preferable by many people worldwide.

This bamboo species need little care to thrive. When placed inside the house or office, the plant not only serves aesthetic purposes but also helps in freshening the air. Plants utilize the carbon dioxide exhaled by people for the manufacture of its own food. In doing so, it prevents an accumulation of CO2 from forming inside buildings. Therefore, it produces a freshening effect by eliminating CO2 and pumping oxygen into the air.

Another benefit presented by the plant is minimization of noise in offices. The leaves of this plant are effective at absorbing noise along corridors and halls.
