Not sure what kind of Bamboo, and what these bugs are??

16 years ago

I live in Fl, Im not sure if that can help, but I recived a Bamboo for Valentines Day, In the shape of a heart. After a while I started noticing these bugs that are white in color, almost in a cacoon, and there not on the leaves themselves. You have to pull the leaves down and they are hidden between the leaves and the stalk in cacoons/ like a cob web. really hard to explain i hope someone can help me understand what these bugs are.

Note. they dont seem to be doing harm maby stunting growth

It's probably not real bamboo at all but Lucky Bamboo which is a Draeceana. The folks at the Lucky Bamboo forum might be able to answer your question: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/luckybamboo/
