is it the kind that are sold in gravel or marbles in a jar full of water?
If so technically that is a wild form of corn and impossible to kill. Now a good bambusa or alphonse strain is a bamboo. Beginer bamboo grower should go alphonse Karr, a beautiful strain, easy too. I have an alphonse in my backyard as cover from the neighbors plus looks just like weed leaves when you put them close together, or maybe the weed looks like alphones karr lol, and i have a bambusa multiplex going at each corner of the yard too.
when I bought mine it came in a contanor with small rocks as of right now it doesn't look so good >.>
its called Lucky Bamboo

i wouldnt be discouraged, although those things can last years and years without any thing to speak of as decent nourishment, it can be hit or miss, they can just up and die on you for seemingly no reason i wouldnt worry. True bamboo you cant kill if you want to really once its established, it lives for hundreds of years, but that wild corn stuff is just wierd.
Anyhow, you planning on doing a soil grow? in doors or out? or hydro. either way i would recomend a vegetable garden unless you have some bag seed you dont mind just trial and error with. I concider myself to have quite a green thumb but when i first grew in 93, I definitely did not, and had relative success. It's a resilliant plant you'll be ok. And if not chalk it to trial and error and try again.

haha , I have 4 Avocado seeds going right now. So far they look good I think lol. I've saved my mom's tree from shock when she brought it in from out side.
I'm planing on doing a soil grow since I've ready people losing their hole crops doing hydro and soil is a bit more forgiving
No , I haven't found ne seeds in my smoke so I'm gonna order. Right now the site I'm looking at says that if I order $100 or more I will get 10 Free Ferminized Train Wreck Seeds ($240 strain) but I dk if its auto flowering or not. I perfer the non auto flowering strain since hight won't be a problum.

I grow "lucky bamboo" as an ornamental for my house. Couple of hints. Even though they are sold in water they perfer a well draining soil. If you are going to keep them in water, change it every few weeks. Wash the stones off when you do this. For food you want a mild fertilizer. I use the same stuff i use for all my plants, just water it down a bunch. Watch the leaves for any signs of stress or illness, and trim any torn ones. If one starts to rot at the stock remove it from the group. You can try to save it by cutting off the bad part and sealing the cut with wax. I have mixed luck with that though
BTW cats like to eat them and they are poisonous, so keep that in mind. Mine never seems to learn and if she gets at it she'll keep barfing the shit up all over the house.
