If in pots, and the sun blazing down on the sides, it could cook the roots if they get too hot.  So that is why they grow and near large rocks, so the roots can hide from the blazing sun in the wild.  Yes you are right and seem to understand everything that we attempt to write.  Norma

One of the horrid stresses of growing plants in containers is how HOT the root mass gets, the soil and everything. on some of our killer hot days, i have watered bamboo in black plastic 25 gallon containers and seen steam come up from the soil. the roots really want the constant temperature they would get in nature, whatever that would be.
