Buddha Belly Bamboo

It's true nature is beginning to reveal it's self. It's my understanding that this
plant needs to be stressed a bit in order to form it's distinct 'Belly' characteristics.
A year pot bound and almost a year in the ground to where it will get stressed
by it's relatively dryer conditions should be enough of stress to kick it in 'Belly'
mode. Not to mention an extended dry and heat wave that gave it that only
added that one two push. Time will tell.
