g'day myrl,

no won't take over it has no relationship to bamboo (not all bamboos
are invasive either so don't be afraid to seek out some of the special
looking ones for your gardens or big planter tubs). lucky bamboo (rip
off name) is dracaena same as cordaline family (yukkas very close as
well), they won't take over if yo plant a single stem it will grow as
that a single stem so have no fear of using as garden specimen or
planter specimen with other plants for decoration. just as with these
sorts of plants you cut the growing top off to force them to bunch and
plant the tops to get more plants.

enjoy there are many different colourings in this group of plants try
them all as either lucky bamboo better description water plants or
house or garden plants.
