Here's my propagated lucky bamboo cutting and i have 3 qu...

#luckybamboo 1. When it gets big enough to the same size as the mother plant if i cut the top of the leaf stock does it continue to grow even if it's removed from the top? 2. Can this plant cutting still develop roots even though it's in rocks? 3. How do you know if there's a good node on the plant. Also how do you like my leaf friend also known as a (plant propagation buddy) he sits on the top of the pot to keep the plant cutting from falling and flailing all about as you can see on the commercial plastic paper display i got it from amazon.

1. Yes, in the nodes are acial buds that start growing when the top is injured or severed.
2. Yes. It's still like water prop but more of semi hydro.
3. A node is where the petiole joins the stem, i don't understand what u qualify as "good", since a node is just a joint

And ur leafriend is really cute! Quite smart actually
@Araceae Sorry in the third question i meant to say healthy node i don't know what i was thinking about that one i guess i was just a little bit worried about it.🙁 Also thanks for the compliment for my leafriend it was smart that i bought and kept it just in case i knew i was going to need it eventually.
Hey @Araceae i got two more questions if you're still here:1. Do lucky bamboo flower even in water? 2. Do lucky bamboo live longer even in soil or water? Also if you're aren't here then i'll get someone else to answer it for me. @Gustavo
@UpfrontDisphyma lucky bamboos are Dracaena, and for the record, my gran's house has some as part of the landscaping and they have never flowered. They ARE flowering plants, but rarely flower in the home.

As for the water or soil, i think it largely depends on the growing environment. While lucky bamboo CAN grow in water, and in fact people love to use it for a "bamboo forest" effect in aquariums, so long as the environment is wrong it won't survive. Even in soil. Heck, the chance of root rot in water is nil, whereas the threat is there in soil
@Araceae Thanks for the answer sometimes people that are taking a long time i just remind them so i just reply them if they still haven't responded to the message i ask someone else to give me answers no heart feelings.😔âĪïļ
