Originally just used as an ornamental plant, lucky bamboo is now becoming a popular gift for many occasions. Lucky bamboo is frequently used as a housewarming gift, because the plant adds something that is easy to care for, unlike other house plants which can be difficult to care for when a family has just moved. Lucky bamboo is also being used with more and more frequency for wedding favors. Because they can come in such tiny sizes, brides are choosing to have specially made little pots for their lucky bamboo favors. They are also being used as favors at other parties like bridal showers and baby showers. While lucky bamboo isn't technically bamboo at all, most people think of its curly stems and long leaves when they think of bamboo. Easy to care for and growing in popularity, lucky bamboo will be a staple in many homes for years to come.

If your lucky bamboo is healthy, you'll notice that it quickly outgrows its original shape. Instead of maintaining the nice, twisted corkscrews or interlocking patterns, the new shoots tend to grow straight up. Attractive at first, they will quickly result in an unbalanced plant. Fortunately, lucky bamboo is easily propagated.

Taking cuttings. The first step is to take a healthy cutting. I usually take cuttings after I've trimmed the mother plant. Make sure the cuttings have at least one leaf joint, and preferably more. Trim excess leaves away to expose the growth node. Lucky bamboo can be rooted bare, or you can use a rooting hormone. Under normal circumstances, rooting hormone shouldn't be necessary because the plant readily roots. However, if you have several failed attempts, a rooting hormone might increase your chances.


Rooting lucky bamboo in water. This is the preferred method. Take trimmings that include at least one leaf joint and put them into distilled water. New, slightly reddish roots should emerge from the bottom of the stalk. Keep the water clean. Once the roots have emerged, you can either put the plant in a vase with decorative pebbles or pot it up in regular soil.

Rooting lucky bamboo in soil. Lucky bamboo will also readily root in soil. To root a new plant, gently push the trimmed stalk down into fresh potting soil, making sure that at least one root node is beneath the soil level. Keep the plant moist and warm until new growth begins to emerge.

When rooting lucky bamboo, however, remember that the new plant will not have the same distinctive stalks and growth habit of the parent. It'll still be a pretty and resilient houseplant, with narrow green leaves and straight stems, but it won't look like a professionally shaped and grown lucky bamboo.


Wayanadan Bamboo Rice


‘Bamboo rice’, collected from the seeds of flowered bamboos, has become a major source of income for tribals living in the interiors of Wayanad wildlife sanctuary in Kerala.The sanctuary, a rich abode of bamboo groves, has witnessed enormous flowering of the tropical tree this year. With this, the indigenous communities in the region, who earn daily bread by collecting and selling forest products, has got an unexpected harvest.Small tribal groups, mainly women and children collecting bamboo seeds, have become a common scene in the sprawling jungle fringes here.A tribal group, that collect bamboo seeds on regular basis, said they usually sell unprocessed seeds for Rs 50 to Rs 70 a kilogram at the local shops in Sulthan Bathery and Pulpalli near here.The processed bamboo rice would fetch Rs 100 per kilogram.But, in the open market, the price is up to Rs 200 per kilogram, says an NGO working among tribals here who help them to sell products in outside markets.With resemblence to paddy rice and wheat-like taste, bamboo rice is comparatively much richer in protein.Not only tribes but local people here also consider it as a good substitute for rice. A wide range of delicacies like payasam, unniyappam (sweet balls), uppumavu and puttu, made of bamboo rice, are high on demand in the tourists centres and homestays in Wayanad, a major highrange tourist hub in Kerala.“The nutrituous value of bamboo rice is very remarkable. It is more healthy to have bamboo rice than the rice from paddy,” a scientist with the Kerala Forest Research Institute (KFRI) said.According to forest department, a similar enormous flowering was reported in the district in 1911 and later in 1990. The recent continuous flowering of bamboo had started since 2005.Usually, bamboo groves flower once in 12 years. The flowering process within the sanctuary is almost at its last phase, local people said. (PTI)
