HOW DID THE BAMBOO PLANT STICK GET CURLED?
People see the fancy curls or wavy ones and think that Lucky Bamboo can grow that way. Lucky Bamboo actually only grows straight and does not grow curly or wavy at all. Farmers have to lay them on a huge long table in the hot house, cover 3 sides in the dark, one side has bright light and let them grow naturally toward the light, and manually rotate them periodically; more work, more curl. It takes an average of 1.5 years to make one curl.
