When growing bamboo in containers, it is important to use a pot with adequate room for these fast-growing plants. Use a container large enough to have a space at least two inches between the edge of the root ball and the side of the container. Squatty tub-like containers are generally better than tall, deep ones, especially for the “running” bamboos with rhizome roots that typically grow more horizontally than down deep.

Large plants require voluminous containers. Once the bamboo completely fills the pot with root and rhizome, it will need to either be moved to a larger container – or, as with bonsai culture, growth can be restricted by removing the plant from the container, r
