All the ones I've seen are not Bamboo at all but Draceana sanderiana..see...

An easily grown plant from the wet tropics of west africa.

Yep - those are the ones.
All showing plenty of root, so prime candidates for potting on.

I have some tall and twisted and a short clump.

As regards the wet tropics I don't think Berkshire fully qualifies.

I doubt they are frost hardy, but you never know.

The short clump is starting to go yellow, despite being in a window.
The tall and twisted seems fine, despite being in generally low light.
Possibly too cold on the window sill.

I wonder if you pot them up they will form a nice indoor 'bamboo' clump?

Still not sure why you are not supposed to feed them, though.
