Re: Hello
Floridagardner, thank you for welcoming me. I will start up a thread about bamboo, so please feel free to join in. I would also like to say that almost all of what I have learned was from the nice folks over at bambooweb.info. Without them, I could not have learned what I know today.
Mediahound, thank you for welcoming me, and it good to see other people who have some bamboo, especially the tropical kinds I am so fond of. Isn't the B. lako a beautiful plant? I am curious as to how old yours is, and its size. I think that anyone who sees a mature specimen of this plant will fall in love with bamboo.
Which budda's belly do you have?
If you would like to post a few pics of the dwarf, I might be able to id it for you. If you can try to get a shot of the entire plant, one up close of the culms and leaves, and even better one of the shoots if possible. If I cannot id it, I know some smart guys who can.
I am also curious how long the B. v-vitatta has been in a pot for. This one grows so fast that it usually outgrows the pot before you know it. It does not seem to like to stay too long in one, and its one bamboo that actually thrives on high water amounts. As I am sure you are aware, it will curl its leaves quite quickly when it wants water. I believe this is one of the few that actually loves water logged soil.
I just want to thank all for the warm introductions and for welcoming me.
Regards
Aaron
