=====================================


Yes, they market them like that.
However, bamboos don't really like pots. They're not
very good at coping with dry conditions, so if you let the
pot dry out, the leaves will curl and may even fall off.
So you need to provide some sort of irrigation system to prevent
this. And most people find it much easier not to grow them
in pots.
