Hi Again,Since I'm a creature of habit I use the willow stem method cause it works for me. I don't believe salicilic acid (aspirin) is what triggers the root growth but rather other auxins found in the bark of the Salix. I also you mabe be able to root true bamboo but it's my expereince and understanding that the rooted stem cuttings will never send out additional rhizomes. Perhaps those eyes futrther up the culms are already too differentiated to produce the cell lines necessary for rhizomes; a speculation on my part. Some bamboo species may have this ability to produce rhizomes froooorm cuttings so try it out on your available plant material. Since trial and error is the best teacher experiemnt with your plants and tell others of your results! Al

Hello all......
Could somebody help me to understand this. From the next mail it
said that Dracena is not a bamboo. But, would the process help true
bamboo cuttings to grow. Or, taking the idea one step farther, would
placing a salic acid pill (asprin) in the water do the same?
Thanks.....
Terry
