Hi, I just found this site and hope to use it more with my own horticultural ventures! In the meantime, a family member has requested one of those shaped bamboo arrangements. I have seen them at the richmond night market, but never in any stores. The one she wants kind of looks like a pineapple shape... Any help with where i could purchase one here would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and happy gardening everybody!
Thank you, that would be the accurate taxonomic classification and yes, I also suppose some of these cuttings originate in Asia... I know the common name for them is 'lucky bamboo'. I am not particularly a fan of these arrangements, but she wants one. I wasn't aware that they were dracaena cuttings, but it does make sense since they are not hollow like a bamboo.
Shiploads of bagged cuttings have been imported, bringing with them the Asian Tiger Mosquito. I doubt there is much domestic production of the contorted cuttings.
Hmm. Thanks for the info, Ron. I don't want any part of supporting this destructive by-product of trade. She'll be getting a nice cutting off my prized ficus instead...
