Bamboo plants are a spectacular addition to patios when grown in large pots and are ideal for small gardens due to their neat and dense growth habit. They can also be used to create a low-maintenance, non-trim hedge, adding height, color, texture, movement, and drama to various garden styles. Unlike bamboo planted in open ground, bamboo in pots requires more frequent watering. Using thick-walled pots made of concrete, timber, or clay helps protect the soil and roots, thereby reducing water loss.
The Phyllostachys Aurea, commonly known as the Fishpole Bamboo, is a tall, upright bamboo variety perfect for container gardening. This flexibility allows for easy maneuvering in the garden, patio, or balcony. For creating a dense screen, it is recommended to place young bamboo plants about 1 meter (3 feet) apart. When growing bamboo in water, use a clean pot with pebbles and distilled water, positioning the plant upright with the help of the pebbles. To propagate golden bamboo from a stem cutting, cut a 10-inch long section of cane at a 45-degree angle.

Bamboo pot holders, such as the Dehaus bamboo plant pot holder, are eco-friendly and made from 100% natural bamboo. For nourishing bamboo throughout the season, spread a 1- to 2-inch layer of compost around the plants in spring. Clump-forming bamboos typically grow 30-60cm (1-2 feet) taller each year, while running varieties can grow up to 90cm-1.5 meters. Vintage Lucky Bamboo pots and Inch Plastic Plant pots with drainage holes are examples of everyday items specifically designed for plant growth.
Before planting bamboo, enrich the soil by adding well-rotted garden compost or manure. This provides a nutrient boost and enhances growth. Bamboo is an excellent plant for adding structure to a garden, and growing it in pots is a straightforward way to prevent it from taking over your garden space.
