Lucky Bamboo

[bevs]

I've just bought a lucky bamboo plant, they're meant to be very hard to kill does anyone else have lucky bamboo?

What's 'lucky' bamboo? We have some type of bamboo plant

I think I know what you mean, they are funny looking things?
Suppsed to improve finances and prosperity, I believe

Apparently so.... * Rushes off to Homebase to buy more* LOL

I went for the criss cross style rather than the curly style, I wanted something different looking to a normal plant and something hardy as plants don't seem to like my house :-\

I think you're meant to keep them in about an inch of water which you change fortnightly, but mines in a fine gravel type mixture with small stones on the surface

I've got my Grandads money plant thats suppose to be lucky money wise, its been growing since he had it and he died in 1990 so its doing well, never heard of a lucky Bamboo though.

I had one years ago-it lasted a long time-they are very easy to look after

I killed mine & I'm a keen gardener!
I'm more of a let it get on with it gardener rather than an attentive one! Indoor & outdoor. I can grow orchids but always kill air plants!
