How is my rattan plant kickin so much ***? Here's the deal: I brought a potted rattan plant to work...
Here's the deal: I brought a potted rattan plant to work with me around a year ago, and it wasn't much more than 8" elevated, including the pot. Now, the thing's almost 2 ft. high... and still going strong. It's lone been lower than a florescent light and I've be giving it bottled water (that I gain free at work). The other bamboo that I own, at home, is near a windowpane and receives pretty obedient sun, gets bottled marine as well, and isn't doing even partially as well as my work friend. So, I'm wondering how this could be, since I enjoy no clue how plants operate and all that.
BTW, my work rattan is named Wasabi.

Answers: First of adjectives, your bamboo is not bamboo--it is Dracaena Sandriana: http://www.plant-care.com/lucky-bamboo.h...
People contemplate it is bamboo because it is call Lucky Bamboo but it is really not related in any passageway. Yours is particularly nice, moderately because it doesn't like direct sunlight and you hold it in indirect lantern, and...the water should be changed once a week--you hold been giving it purified water--so it is responding resourcefully to that. Please read the info on the website--because you do NOT need to fertilize this plant. It is doing resourcefully where it is so don't vary what you are doing.
On the other hand, your home plant is not doing as economically because it is getting to much sun--sun is not good for some house plants.
Hope this help. You have a exquisite specimen.
