can I grow bamboo from a lucky bamboo bought at pike place m

[align=left]^{**** Hi Jessie, John Lewis here;}[/align]

[align=left]^{** Seems as though you're one of the few to have anything to say hereabouts.}[/align]

[align=left]^{** It has been my experiance to dig up some of that Bamboo, and pull apart the clumps. Being it's in the grass family, I doubt you could do it any harm. I planted some years ago on the back of my property. Biggest mistake I ever made. It spreads so fast, it took me three years to get rid of it.}[/align]

[align=left]^{** Thats why I only grow Epiphytes anymore. No fuss, no muss, and no more dirt.}[/align]

[align=left]^{** I've been growing Bromeliads and Orchids now, for over thirity years. You can see some @* http://jacksbromeliads.blogspot.com/* The best thing I like about Epiphytes is no soil. No bugs, viruses, mold, and no pesticides. Living here in Florida, does have it's advantages. If you would be interested, I've had this Bromeliad special going on over at the Nat. Home & Gardening Club for a month now. It consists of 1 box of Bromeliads ( 4 to 6 plants,) shipped to you for twenty bucks. It's a pretty good way to get some of these plants, without costing you an arm, and a leg. I'm a collector, not a commercial grower, this past year, what with no hurricanes, they multiply so fast, there's no room at the Inn.}[/align]

[align=left]^{** Here's two Bromeliad websites, every one should take a look at; http://www.FCBS.org* The World's largest photo database on Broms. Over 3,500 photos, covering all genera, species, and cultivars.* http://www.BSI.org* the Bromeliad Society International, I've been a member here, over 20 years, and there the ones that got me addicted to Bromeliads.}[/align]

[align=left]^{** Well, thanks for your time, I can just hope more people start posting here. If your interested in some Broms, you can Email me @* johnalewis74@yahoo.com** and good luck with that Bamboo.................John}[/align]

Hi John Lewis,

Looks to me like you are just looking for posts to sell your plants and self promote, especially since Jesse has only 3 posts and I have over 1000.* Oh, and I'm not interested in purchasing from you.* I've seen you make these same posts on another forum.

Newt

[align=left]^{***** Hi Newt, John Lewis here; yes, I do post on other plant forums, and I absolutely do promote the use of Bromeliads. However, had you taken the time to read past your own limited vision, you may have read the eighteen reply's I recieved from the members of National Home Gardening Club stateing, what a great deal they got. Not to mention the eight or so, that in fact are " repeat " orders.}[/align]

[align=left]^{** Futhermore, as to " Promote Oneself ", Who Here, goes by a fictitious name, hides behind an unposted Email, and compares themself to a one thousand to three posts. Frankley, I don't know how you could get your hat on, what with that enormus head you must have.}[/align]

[align=left]^{** I have, and will continue, to promote Bromeliad use as an alternative to ground dwelling plants. Over Fertilization, Rampant use of Pesticides, just to name a few. I am affiliated with three Bromeliad Socities here in Florida alone, and one International one, over twenty years.}[/align]

[align=left]^{** Tell me something " Newt ", is youre last name Gingrich by any chance ? Have you ever been committed to anything, other than trying to find hat sizes that large ? What are your objectives, other than 1,000 posts ?}[/align]

[align=left]^{** In those 1,000 posts, did you ever find youre hat size ?}[/align]

[align=left]^{** Looking foreward to your reply. Do you have a real name ?}[/align]

[align=left]^{*Mine is John Lewis johnalewis74@yahoo.com* You know where you can reach me !}[/align]

John,

it doesn't matter whether people get a good deal. If you want to post an ad,
put it in the advertising section, like I do. And bromeliads really have nothing
to do with Jessie's question. Jessie wanted to grow bamboo to use it. You might
know if you read the rest of the thread.

And, please lose the oversized font. It's just about as bad as yelling.
