Bamboo
Bamboo is a spectacular exotic and incredibly durable plant that can be seen in many gardens. Most varieties grow to be extremely tall and even though they can be trimmed from the top, most grow to be well above three feet in height.Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world, due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain species of bamboo can grow 91 centimetres (36 inches) within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 40 millimetres (1+1⁄2 in) an hour (equivalent to 1 mm every 90 seconds).

Height: up to 3 - 30 m
Planting Care:
Choosing a bamboo for your container is quite similar to choosing a bamboo for your garden.
You choose the area where the amount of sunlight or shade is available.
Clumping Bamboos do not grow as aggressively and therefore will generally last much longer in pots before they get root bound and need repotting.
After a few years of growing and filling in your bamboo may need to be thinned.
Simply cut off dead, weak, small and otherwise inferior plants at ground level leaving the healthier plants with room to grow.
For trimming roots, simply dig up a foot of soil at the border of where you want the plant to spread every year and trim back any roots you find here.
If you want your bamboo to stay a certain height, feel free to trim it above a node. After trimming it to height, the bamboo below the node will begin to fill out and become the new canopy.

Displaying:Bamboo is generally a moisture-loving plant. Bamboo belongs to the mono-carpal plants i.e. to such type of plants which bloom or give fruit (seeds) only once in their life-time. Planting of bamboo seedlings takes place either in autumn - October, November, or in spring - from 15 February till 1 April.
-
Easy to grow: Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball on your bamboo. Set the bamboo in the hole and spread the roots out some in the hole. Gently backfill the hole, tamping down the soil some as you go. Water the hole thoroughly to help fill in any air pockets.
-
Planting the bamboo this way allows the bamboo to establish faster, as the soil around it will be loose and the roots and rhizomes will be able to grow in it more quickly

The lucky bamboo grown in its native country (West Africa) can grow up to 5ft tall (or much more), and as a house plant up to approximately 2 or 3 feet. There are various cultivars of this plant and some of the most interesting are the twisted stalk types which are trained by specialist growers.
Place in water or soil:
- Dracaena braunii plants grow at their best in a pot with soil and live longer lives, however, many are grown in glass type vases which do give them a pretty cool minimalistic look. They are also grown in aquariums and sold in pet shops submersed in water or some shoots just above the water, but this is not the correct way of growing them and they can rot.
Specifications:
Origin: | Africa. |
Names: | Lucky Bamboo (common). -- Dracaena Braunii, or Dracaena Sanderiana (botanical/scientific). |
Max Growth (approx): | Height 3ft. |
Poisonous for pets: | Not known. |
Temperature: | Warm room temperature's and above are advised 65°F (18°C) - 90°F (32°C). Avoid lower than 55°F/12°C in the winter. |
Light: | In it's natural habitat the lucky bamboo grows under the cover of shade trees, so place your plant in a bright spot without direct sunlight which can burn the leaves that will mimic their natural living space. |
Watering: | In a vase or water type pot change the water once every 7 days with distilled or bottled water. If your dracaena Braun vii is grown in soil (which is it's natural way of growing), water once the soil becomes slightly dry to the touch. |
Soil: | A well-draining potting soil mix is advised. |
Re-Potting: | Re-pot a plant living in the soil when it becomes pot bound or every 2 years. If your plant sits in water with pebbles at the bottom for stability, re-pot to a bigger container once the previous one becomes too small and when the pebbles and container need cleaning. Cleaning the water container will prevent bacteria problems. |
Humidity: | Normal room humidity is fine. |
Propagation: | Choose and cut the biggest shoot (or shoots) available on a stalk and remove the lower leaves from the shoot. Cut the shoot about 1 cm – 2 cm away from the stalk. Sit your stem cutting in water for about 3 months until roots appear and then pot in soil. |
Pruning: | Trim back shoots one or two of inches from the stalk which will encourage the plant to grow into a nice bushy plant. If you have too many off shoots you can cut some back near to the stalk. Do not cut stalks. |
