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 |

Sorry babe but you've been bamboozled.
The so-called "lucky bamboo" is not a bamboo at all. Its Dracaena sanderiana. http://www.lucky-bamboo.com/ http://www.dracaena-sanderiana.com/ Amberinauburn wrote in message ...

I wouldn't bet the ranch on that, Sweetpea, because it most definitely is
NOT a bamboo. Its Dracaena sanderiana, a flowering shrub and not a an arborescent grass. Do you own Google search if you don't believe me. Amberinauburn wrote in message ... No it's Bamboo... I'm pretty sure of that.. Amber |

There are many resources for bamboo. I just did a Google search using
"bamboo vendors" and got 22,000 results. -- SamMan Rip it to reply "Amberinauburn" wrote in message ... OH, I hate to admit it but your right.. Ok I got taken but how do I get real bamboo? Amber ( who likes her little new plant anyway) |
