Default New bamboo owner

Hello everyone, I went to the Asian market today and they had several
containers with Bamboo in them right inside the front door. Some was curly

and
most was straight. I was attracted to it and bought a small straight piece

Now
what do I do with it. They told me to just put it in water when I get

home. And
I did. Do I need to put anything in the water?
But now what? Can I plant it when it grows roots? Will it grow roots? And

then
what, I live in Central Illinois. Is it too cold here for it to grow

outside? I
need help with this, any ideas from all you experts out there

Thank you very much

Amber


Amber,

What you have is not bamboo. It is actually a Dracaena, a common houseplant.
