It is not invasive Janet and tends to increase only moderately with no
encroaching rhizomes to worry about. Although it is a good bamboo for
large pots, it would be far better if planted out. You get bigger,
better leaves and there's much less of a risk of drying out, which can
quickly make a mess of the foliage.
