Growing bamboo?

is it possible to grow bamboo from cuttings of another bamboo plant? I recently broke off some bamboo from a patch near my house. I have heard that you can grow it this way, but I want to be sure.

Growing bamboo?
yes.. if you are growing indoors, just put in water... if outdoors, stick in the ground and keep very wet....
Reply:don't.. bamboo is non-native and invasive.. if it's anywhere near other gardens it will TAKE OVER! If you must, use a large container and grow it in there.
Reply:Where are you located? If you are anywhere outside Florida or Southern California then it is most likely a runner and these can only be propagated by plant division. Only the tropical clumpers can be propagated through culm cuttings, and even then not all species of clumpers can be propagated the same as the next.





As for bamboo being invasive, if you tend it properly and put bamboo barrier in the ground bamboo can be contained and develop into a beautiful yard specimen. Or you can keep it potted, but this will require annual thinning as the rhizomes can quickly choke the plant out as it becomes pot bound.
Reply:it would probably take root wherever you put but be aware that Bamboo is a very invasive plant and will take over and area.
Reply:Yes-start the shoots in water or starter planter soil-remember bamboo-grows! Keep it in a contained area or you'll regret it-
Reply:Don't plant outside unless you know what you're doing. Bamboo for Garden's by Ted Jordan Meredith on amazon is good. Ofcourse depends where you live and what species you have. There is native bamboo species in the U.S. but that's prob. not what you have.
