pruning LB

17 years ago

Good Evening! Three years ago I received two 12" small vases with lucky bamboo. They are magnificently huge with leaves almost 12" themselves and very full. I haven't pruned, and of course, they drape over my dresser with the weight. How do I prune, where do I prune, and how much do I prune? Please respond to icuglo4me2@aol.com with the subject heading "bamboo". Thank you in advance for any advice!

12" leaves sure don't sound like Dracaena sanderiana! WOW! Anyway, all dracaena can be propagated from stem cuttings that include at least one node.

I think what you have is a large leave variety which is original traditional Lucky Bamboo.
