Default Are these bamboo?
Hi, I have both an indoor plant and an outdoor plant which I think are bamboo. Can anyone confirm this for me? I'd appreciate any help so that I know if they need any special treatment (apart from being talked to).

I seem to be unable to upload photos even when shrinking them down to 196KB on a jpg

Put your photos on a photo site like Flickr and give us a link to it.

It worked. The outdoor one is certainly bamboo. I don't think the indoor one is. Perhaps the indoor one is that plant known as "lucky bamboo" which is not bamboo, but dracaena.

Agree. The outdoor one looks like it's got quite big leaves, so maybe Sasa or Pseudosasa species?

I think Echinosum's right. The outdoor one looks like it's got quite big leaves, so maybe Sasa or Pseudosasa species?

Thank you both. I will have to look up lucky bamboo as it would be uncanny as I have a dracaena which sits next to the indoor one.
