Pot selection.   Bamboo species spread indefinitely so the size of pot will ultimately control the size of plant. It is important, however, to pot on in stages – a small plant in too large a pot will tend to be affected by water logging. Choice of pot should be dictated by the size of the plant on purchase and by its mature height. For example, a plant bought in a 3 litre (7-8 inch) pot can be potted into a 10 litre (10-12 inch) container if growing vigorously.
