I am delighted!
I have had this plant, oh gosh, 10 years or so now. It has survived many moves with me. It doesn't do much plant wise that is very exciting as far as plants go. Very slow growth, veeeerrrrrry slow. When it puts out a new leaf it is a cause for celebration. It's OK though, I love the shape of it and wouldn't want it to grow very fast and ruin that. I love this plant, a hardy soul it is. I know it's not true bamboo, but I don't care.
I usually do a complete clean of the rocks twice a year, but realized it had been about a year now since I had done that. I did notice that it had what I thought was a big new root growing against the side of the glass for a while now.
Not a root, a baby bamboo!
Here is mom, I was wondering what I could put in the pic for scale, and well, someone helped me with that.
The strange double leaf look is the shadow against the wall.
And here is Baby Bamboo! Since Ginger jumped herself into the other pic, I though it was only fitting little Ginger show off the new little bamboolet.
Looks a bit alien, but it has been without any sunlight at all and crammed into a blue glass vase.
This is two days after the seperation, looking good, no sign of trauma so far. wheee!
Silly to get so happy about this I know, but hey, I think it's cool!
