Default Lucky Bamboo: How to raise one?

You should read the previous postings in this thread.

The question was already answered.

Its Dracaena sanderiana from tropical Africa.

If not given fertilizer or not potted up in soil, the plants eventually die
despite false claims to the contrary.

I believe they're just some sort of dracaena or close relative. I think if
you put them in soil they might tend to grow more dracaena-like, more
robust. Put them in whatever decorative water container and enjoy them as

a
"cut flower". Possibly a little dilute fertilizer will help if the plant

has
roots and some sun.

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!
