I don't think you looked closely enough to see the tessellation pattern. Phyllostachys has tessellate venation according to Chris Stapleton, and I confirmed that by checking my phyllostachys aurea. You should allow light to shine through the leaf to see this clearly - perhaps with some phone camera magnification. You can also check Chris Stapleton's bamboo identification site, where he describes the tessellate venation in phyllostachys as 'distinct', for reference.
Nice video Hey I bought a golden bamboo yesterday from a nursery , now I'm confused as to whether it's bambusa vulgaris (clumping )or phyllostachys aurea (running) ,how to identify the difference as they look almost similar at the outset?

I bought yellow bamboo too but I don't know how to grow it. Can you help me?
Since it is an introduced and very invasive species, we advise against cultivation.
can they be propagated from cuttings?
It's a terribly invasive species--not recommended. Takes over huge swaths of land quickly and difficult to eradicate.
