Last weekend I needed to transplant some Blue Fountain bamboo(Fargesia nitida) from a smallish container to a slightly larger one. The terra cotta one near the upper righthand corner received the new bamboo.
I prepped the pot with a bit of styrofoam to make it a tad lighter when filled with bamboo and potting soil.
Pulling the root-bound clump from its home was a bit of a chore.
Talk about root-bound!
We’ll see in the next month or so how well the clump has taken to its more spacious home. It should be fine.
This is a non-invasive clumping bamboo. After 2 years in the new pot I will have to find a home for it in the ground somewhere around here.
