meesheelly Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have an Asian tank in the pipelines and I have heard about a plant called "lucky Bamboo" which is not aquatic but has been grown in aquariums. I think it is actually some type of Dracenea? Well I was wondering if anyone has any or if anyone has tried it. If not does anyone know of any cool asian plants, I was realy hoping to go with the bamboo look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have a lucky bamboo, its planted in a gravel substrate in a pot and it likes the little pot to be filled with water occasionally, mine gets water once a week. Likes indirect sunlight, more so filtered. It is the Dracaena family, mine looks like a miniature Yucca however the stalks look bamboo. Heres a link http://www.chiff.com/a/lucky-bamboo.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meesheelly Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Do you think it would survive submersed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meesheelly Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 where did you find your plant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I bought it a while ago now but I can't recall where.. :roll: but I have never seen it around since... might have been one of those fad things that come in.. but its growing very well. If mine was big enough I would take a cutting and send it to you however it's only got one main stem with two off shoots, so is a bit small yet.

meesheelly Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 lol Are there any aquarium plants that look bamboo like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Bamboo looks awesome in tanks. I saw a display one set up that was entered in for competition. Lots of tall thin shoots and the fish could swim between them. I don't think it was growing just bamboo stalks anchored down somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
