Ikea etc Bamboo

Degsy · 2010-04-01 14:46:58

I noticed Ikea and a few of the asian shops selling bamboo plants with a small root structure and a few small leaves..it says to keep them in water etc etc Just wondering does anybody know if they can be transplanted to grow in soil like proper bamboo?

Could it be phyllostachys heteroclada? Are you planning some waste water treatment ? If you are, its too late its already been done.
