With a different plant such as the bamboo, you will want a different look for your pot (try a metal pot with chic designs). Make sure to do some shopping around before you settle on a design, since there are many options available to you! There is no rulebook as far as pot size. Some arrangements are arranged around a very large decorated pot, and in other arrangements the pot is barely visible.
