Default Lucky Bamboo: How to raise one?

Its not "Lucky", nor a bamboo nor even from the Orient.

There's not a whit of Feng Shui to it either.

Its Dracaena sanderiana, a weedy shrubby species originally from tropical
Africa and mass produced in Thailand.

There should have been a care sheet attached to the plant.

Check out their website for info on how to take care of it and more of their
hype:

If you never fertilize it or put it in soil it will eventually die from
malnutrition.

Treat it like any other Dracaena grown as a houseplant.

I bought a small Luck Bamboo at Walmart just for the
heck of it.

I really know nothing abt them other than they are easy
to grow.

It came in a small container that appears to be filled
with glass marbles and some foam.

Can and should I remove it from this container and
plant in a bigger container?

If yes.... what container? And what type of soil or
"medium"?

I understand that all the really need is to be kept
wet. If yes....can you just plant it in something like
glass marbles?


Also....can I set it outside for the summer? And how
big will it get eventually?

Thanks in advance!
