It can be grown as an ornamental plant or as a garden plant. It grows well both indoor and outdoor. It can also be grown in small pots for decoration placed on table tops, etc.
It is propagated through stem cuttings.
Plant the stem cuttings in soil in a small pot and place the pot away from direct sunlight. Keep the soil moist and very soon sign of new growth will come forth from the stems.
Another way is to stand the stem cuttings in water until the stems grow roots before planting them in garden soil.
Stem cuttings with leaves can also serve as decorative plants placed in water in glass containers or any decorative containers. When place in water, the growth will be slow but the water has to be changed daily to avoid mosquitoes breeding in the water.
Japanese Bamboo is a hardy plant and it grows well in warm climate. If grown as indoor plant, place it where there is light.
It can grow very tall and to control the height and the shape, some pruning is necessary. New shoots will grow from the root.
If existing stem is not cut off from the base, new stem will grow from the stump left behind.
It is named Gold Dust Dracaena because of the gold spots found on the leaves.
If the plants are placed in very shady places, the gold spots will be in lighter shade.
To keep indoor plants fresh and glossy, take the plants out and spray them with water to wash away the dust from the leaves.
These plants seldom flower but when they do flower, the flowers are very small and light beige to white in colour.
Sometimes the flowers will form green berries and berries will be red when ripe.
If you stay away from sin you will be like one of these dishes
made of purest gold - the very best in the house -
so that Christ Himself can use you for His highest purposes.
