Choose a location with well-draining soil and adequate sunlight. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant, backfill with soil, and water deeply to settle the roots. Apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, Black Bamboo is relatively low-maintenance, though it may benefit from occasional watering during dry spells. Note that running bamboo can spread; install a root barrier if you want to contain its growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne (1) Black Bamboo live plant (Phyllostachys nigra) with multiple canes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836003680566,"sku":"FOLIA2-1670","price":247.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6584169872_f7ih.jpg?v=1793097107","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-black-bamboo-live-plant-phyllostachys-nigra-multi-cane-for-privacy-screen","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
