Lucky Bamboo FAQ

Question: Do bamboo plants grow roots, branches and spread out and take over your whole yard?
Answer: Thank goodness, we all know how hard it is to control the growth of real bamboo plants in the yard or in a pot. Luckily, bamboo is a stick that will only grow a few inches of roots and sprouts, and definitely will not grow any branches or babies.

Question: How did the bamboo plant stick get curled?
Answer: People see the fancy curls or wavy ones and think that Lucky Bamboo can grow that way. Lucky Bamboo actually only grows straight and does not grow curly or wavy at all. Farmers have to lay them on a huge long table in the hot house, cover 3 sides in the dark, one side has bright light and let them grow naturally toward the light, and manually rotate them periodically; more work, more curl. It takes an average of 1.5 years to make one curl.

Question: Can I get the bamboo plant stick to curl?
Answer: Yes, you can do this yourself and make it curl like farmers do when the stick is fresh and young. The stick is not going to grow longer but it can turn when it feels the light coming from only one side for certain length of time.

Question: Will the bamboo plant sticks grow taller?
Answer: No. All the sticks receive special treatment when they have reached the shape and length needed. They only keep growing green leaves and stay green in either water or soil.
