Default money tree pachira and holiday bamboo plants

wrote in message
ups.com
I wonder how do they make the intertwinning /braiding of the
money
tree (pachira), or the swirling of the tiny bamboo plants that
we
see a lot during the xmas period?
Is the bamboo plant actually from a bamboo family? The leaves
look
different from the regular bamboo tree.
Thanks for info.


See about the "Money" tree he

The "Lucky Bamboo" you see is a Dracena no relation to bamboo.
Real bamboo is in the grass family.
