On the matterhorn ride at disneyland, they planted all the trees and foliage in cement pockets filled with a spongelike fake soil.

Lucas, "spongelike fake soil" was never seen by me in any of the planters when I worked on and all over the Matterhorn. They used real soil and replenished it as needed. And although they did not plant any bamboo in the rockwork, the concrete did successfully contain the plant material. If anything grew too large to fit the visual perspective of the mountain, then they would trim or replace plant material as needed.

There is to this day quite a bit of bamboo in and around Jungle Cruise. Some of it is quite large. Not sure how they contain or control it.
