Container grown plants should have been grown in the container for sufficient time for the root growth to have substantially penetrated the medium but not be root bound. The rooting must be well balanced in accordance with the container size. It may be difficult with Bamboo for it not to be root bound. Plants are to be centered in the container, well rooted, firm and moist on delivery, with the growing medium coming within a suitable depth of the pot rim, taking into account the size of the container and the age since potting. Bamboo is not an easy species to pot due to its habit of root growth. The surface of the growing medium shall be free of all weeds. Plants shall be supplied in rigid containers. Container grown plants are defined by ‘C’ followed by a number indicating the volume in litres, e.g. C5.
