My bamboo

Brandon, FL(Zone 9a)

Here is a picture of my bamboo that I had growing in water last winter inside my house that I planted in a container using potting soil this spring and now I have it outside. I first acclimated the bamboo on my porch in the shade before moving it to my sunny deck. I never had bamboo before and do not know what particular type it is. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

It's not a bamboo--it's Dracaena sanderiana. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/38172/ People call it lucky bamboo but it's not related to real bamboo. Many people grow it as a houseplant, so if you need more info on how to take care of it you could try the Indoor Gardening & Houseplants forum http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/houseplants/all/ Or if you plan to keep it mostly outside then the Tropical Plants forum might be a better place http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/tropicals/all/
