Why cannot plant bamboo in house?

I head to the restaurant for dinner with my parents and I was told that bamboo is pretty plant but cannot plant inside the house. I mean not even the garden in house, you can plant outside home not inside your house. This owner of the restaurant says that the bamboo protects the home but if you plant inside the house then it bring something else at home. I think he means to say ghost.

The restaurant is at the shop and he has plant many beautiful plants infront the shop and he says it takes a year to plant such beautiful plants. You cannot hurry love!
