I have had R. wallichii for about a year, now and it has not shown any
invasive tendencies.  It was a little slow to get started.  It would send
up a short stalk that would stop growing, and then send up another that
would get a little further before stopping.  New stalks came from the base
of the plant.  The more recent growth has been up to a foot long, and, last
month, I cut it all back to only about three inches because it was shading
out some other plants.   Recovery has been quick, with the plant sending up
about 5 new stalks, that have already reached the surface.
