Hi chadtx254, I checked it out and I believe you are correct. It certainly matches the leaf pictures on the internet. Thanks for helping me solve this mystery!!! Interesting that they make great bonsai. Jerry

Hi, Thanks for the clue. I will look it up to see if it matches. As it came from such a dry climate I didn't know if it would grow here in the humidity.

They are in a container with water and some rocks in the bottom. I consider them neither "Lucky" nor "Bamboo." I think I tried them years ago in sphagnum moss but they died quickly. Let me know how the soil method works. Jerry

Hi Tara, I have heard, and have, "Lucky" Bamboo, which is not in the bamboo family. It merely has a slight resemblance to true bamboo because of its segmented stem.I believe they have to be kept in water, and not soil. I add small amounts of Miracle grow periodically. The ones we try to keep in the house don't do so well (I think from the air-conditioning) and I end up taking them to the "Hospital" shelf on one of my bonsai stands. I took some dying pieces out there and they are now thriving.

Hi, Yeah, I think I would wait a little. Good luck! Jerry

Hi,  Thanks. This system works really well for me here in Florida. It also worked well for me in Philadelphia. It's prime time for growth down here, and everything seems to be doing well. Jerry

I think that might be a Texas Ebony tree/shrub. I have a bonsai one and a landscape one. They are cool trees.

Hey there! I had another question. As far as your bamboo... I have a lucky bamaboo that i was told to put in dirt.  I will get random shoots in the pot i now have it planted in?

Thank you for the information,

the sprouts are only about half an inch to an inch tall.
