Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for propagating bamboo rhizomes as I'm looking to plant some that are native to the USA (recently learned we have 3-4 native species that got way overly harvested in the past), but I've never propagated bamboo before so I'm unsure how to go about it. I plan to plant them in a pot or garden bed when I move to Las Vegas near the end of the year since I've learned from experience that they spread pretty fast and once they're established they're really hard to get rid of if you need/want to (my grandmother planted some in the backyard when she first moved to the USA from Korea).

The only way I have done it is to cut off the runners and then plant them.
