Bamboo is traditionally symbol of Luck in Chinese cultures. The plant can grow as tall and wide as you want it to grow.You can shape and size the way you want it (skinny or bushy, your choice, by cutting and pruning).When you place the plant against the background of a wall, it will look like a Chinese bamboo plant painting. You can place the current pot into a fancier pot if you like.(use the current pot as a liner). These plants are actively growing (established) as I planted them the whole winter . I will give you all the tips to grow (like shaping and cutting etc) and repot. It is very easy. I live in Edmonton , Alberta and you have to pick it up yourself. The bamboo for sale are approximately 8 feet tall . All Bamboo is $100 each .
