Title: Transplanting a non-native lucky bamboo plant
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:
I have gotten a lucky bamboo plant which is kinda large and want to transplant but don't know how can you help me?ANSWER:
We wish we could be more helpful, but the focus of our research and the extent of our expertise are limited to those plant species native to North America. Dracaena braunii (Lucky bamboo) is native to Cameroon in Africa. You can probably find good advice by Googling "Lucky bamboo care".
