Q.can i plant bamboo in a planter
Can I plant bamboo in a planter? If so, how much room does it need? Also, can you recommend an extremely fast growing one, as I need to cover up ugly wood that my neighbor is storing next to my fence? Or maybe you could recommend an alternative plant?
The container you choose should be large enough to maintain at least a two-inch gap between the root ball and the sides of the pot. Bamboo are sensitive to over-watering so your pot should also have large drain holes to facilitate good drainage. Wider squatty containers are generally better than tall, deep ones especially if you are planting a running bamboo which grows horizontal roots. Clumping bamboo is said to be a really fast growing bamboo.
