Not sure if mentioned already, but if you do go with bamboo, make sure you start with big divisions that show big culms (sometimes these will be cut for repotting). Preferably something 5 gallons or larger. Even though bamboo does grow fast, it will take a while to get established, like 2 or 3 years for a small gallon plant to grow those huge culms. So its better to start with a larger size gallon.
