If it's advertised as bamboo it's probably non aquatic.

you can grow them in your tank but the leaves have to be above the water other than that there easy to grow

Bamboo normally works under water, you guys might laugh i took a bamboo plant that you normally get with flowers and added that to my tank it's been in there a year doing great and given me a few cuttings...

It's not bamboo, they are palm cuttings - Chamaedorea elegans. No they wont work.
