Description: 
                      Ventricosa Buddha Belly Bamboo- makes a great bonsai or small indoor plant. This is one of the most adaptable and versatile bamboos in collection. It can be very successfully grown in a pot as a large, healthy, green bamboo, or skillfully kept restricted in a small container and artfully starved for water to make it Belly out. This bright green Ventricosa cultivar will zig zag quite easily, but needs special attention to really  belly, due only to water stress. Ventricosa is adaptable to almost any light condition.  This cultivar makes a very unique bonsai house or office plant. Ventricosa Buddha Belly Can live indoors or outside, but is much easier kept outdoors. Beware, this is a strong, hearty bamboo and if planted in the ground, stand back, because it is about the fastest growing thing you will ever see. It stays well behaved and forms a clump at least 15' in diameter and will grow into a 50' tall huge clump if planted in the ground within a couple of years.. Do not plant this one outside unless you have a large area. That being said it does make an excellent impenetrable living wall, that nothing can get through. Buddha Belly will make an excellent potted patio or mid to high light indoor specimen.
