Bamboo is an evergreen plant of the Gramineae family, with nodes, hollows between the nodes, and strong stems. Some varieties grow quickly, while others grow slowly and are suitable for creating potted plants. You can choose dwarf varieties of bamboo, such as Penglai bamboo. In addition, you should also specifically choose types with lumpy roots and avoid varieties with roots that grow sideways, so that they can be easier to control.
