Cultivation in containers        Bamboos can look superb when well grown in large pots, especially terracotta or glazed, oriental-style containers. Whatever the material, the container should be equipped with adequate drainage holes. Pot culture also has the advantage of raising the culms closer to eye level, giving the plant even more of an impact. In small gardens, where space is at a premium, bamboos can be grown in pots to restrict their spread, particularly the invasive, running types.
