Comparing Lucky Bamboo varieties — notes from growing several

I've grown several varieties within the Lucky Bamboo family and have some observations to share. rapid establishment and fast vertical growth varies noticeably between them, more than catalogue descriptions suggest. The care fundamentals are shared — removing the oldest and most congested canes each spring applies across all of them.

running bamboo spreading beyond its intended boundary affects some more than others, particularly in adverse conditions. I grow mine in a privacy screen along a boundary fence which works well for most varieties. best container division and replanting in spring is the clearest moment of differentiation between varieties — that's when the character of each comes through. Worth growing a few side by side if you have the space.
