Just curious. . .I also have a vase full of Lucky Bamboo on my kitchen
counter. It has grown really tall and looks quite healthy.

I hadn't realized it wasn't really a true bamboo. My question is - how
will this stuff grow, planted in the garden? Will it completely take
over, like "real" bamboo will? Is it best to keep it containerized?

I picked up some really long Lucky Bamboo stalks (18") this week and they
are too tall for my vase. If I cut them in half or by 1/3rd will the lower
portion (with the roots) sprout new branches and will the upper portion
(with 2 branches each) re-root?

And yes, I realize this isnt bamboo, but this question isnt about species,
just propagating what I have.

thanks!!
