Buddha Belly Bamboo. Etc.

Re BB Bamboo, I have seen numerous comments online to the effect that the Buddha Belly effect is best achieved by "stressing," i.e. minimum water, tight container, max sun, etc.

Seems to me, that "stressing" may also apply to various other bamboos, with similar results, but I have never seen any mention of this anywhere one way or another.

At present, I have purchased 5 kinds of bamboo, all runners w/the exception of two clumpers, Kimmei and Wamin.
Any comments on info re the above (stressing)?

I will use all 5 in containers as patio/deck plants.

Had some in-ground Buddha Belly, etc. many years ago in California.

ThakYa for your attention...appreciated!
