Chinese Fortune Bamboo
 
Chinese Fortune Bamboo - Dracaena sanderiana virescens
- is this a bamboo or a look-alike?
It looks very much like bambo, but I already had a pot of grass called "Baby
panda bambo" which my cat ate in no time; it also looked good enough to
pretend.

No, fortune bamboo isn't a bamboo, it's a dracaena, some of its relatives grow like a cordyline would. It can hit about 5ft tall and can spread up 16" - 32"

Chinese Fortune Bamboo
 
Thank you. I thought so.
I will keep it inside since it looks pretty and easy to grow, but will get a
real thing for the outside teracotta boxes. Any tips on what's best to grow
in pots? Long narrow teracotta containers?
Thanks,
