How to Grow Bamboo in Pots
- 1). Choose a large ceramic pot, 12 by 12 inches, with holes in the bottom for proper drainage.
- 2). Fill the pot with a loose rich soil and peat moss. Bamboo plants appreciate well-drained soil.
- 3). Place the plant in the pot by burying the bamboo rhizomes in the soil 2 inches deep.
- 4). Apply an all-purpose fertilizer in the pot with the bamboo plant once every two months. Change up the fertilizer to a nitrogen-rich brand every six months.
- 5). Water the bamboo plant thoroughly to keep the soil moist. Bamboo plants need lots of water, but never let the water pool around the rhizomes.
