I've got a bunch of stalks of lucky/water bamboo happily growing to 4+
feet. It's almost too tall to sit on a table anymore.. can it be
planted? Will it survive if I put it outside? (in a planter or in the
ground).

I probaly need some way to start twisting it (they already have three
rotations about 2/3rds of the way down). How do you twist these
things?

If you put it outside, I recommend a planter, as bamboo spreads wildly.

It can't be worse than the garlic I planted 13 years ago ;-)

I have a lifetime supply of garlic chives, but no usable garlic bulbs.

But yes, that'sa good point. I don't know if this stuff is hearty
(hardy?) enough to survive like the other bamboo's though.

"Lucky bamboo" isn't really a bamboo.

It's not really bamboo, but draceana. It will not survive outdoors.
