Shopping for little starter trees at a plant barn the assistant gave me bamboo in a real small pot. Told me it is lucky. Told me to bonsi it. Its home with me now. Odd thing bout it. Only lucky cause it was free. Do you recon he's having me on ? anyone tried this ? Should i.

I love bamboos, I have 3 varieties in my garden. There are small varieties that they usually call lucky bamboo which you can put in a pot.

But as a bonsai? I dont think so because by definition alone, bonsai mean tree in a pot and bamboo as far as I know is a grass.

But you could use it as an accent plant - it complements just about everything. Cheers.

If he gave you "Lucky bamboo" it is not bamboo. It is Dracaena_braunii, a houseplant and not even closely related to bamboo -- which is a grass-like plant. Its greatest advantage is that it is hard to kill.
