Best Bamboo For Container

Best bamboo for container
The best bamboos for growing successfully in pots are the clump forming (Fargesia) varieties or only the moderately spreading ones such as Phyllostachys Aurea or Aureosulcata.
Does bamboo grow well in containers?
Choose a strong, sturdy container that will act as an impenetrable barrier for the bamboos roots. The roots of running bamboos in particular can break through almost anything so a metal or a robust wooden planter is really the only option for running varieties. Plastic pots are definitely out of the question.
What is the best non invasive bamboo for pots?
In general, clumping bamboos, those with less aggressive roots and rhizomes, will be more suitable for containers. These include genera like Himalayacalamus and Otateae. Dwarf bamboos, like Sasa and Pleioblastus, which usually only grow a few feet tall, are also great in pots.
How long can bamboo live in pots?
Bamboo can typically be grown in most containers for 3-7 years, depending upon container, plant(s) selection and growing conditions. Bamboo eventually overpopulates the planting space and the planter cannot provide enough nutrients.
