1. The `lucky bamboo plant' is actually called "Dracaena Sanderana".

2. It is very easy to grow as all it needs is some water and it will grow.

3. Taiwan, is one of the major exporters of this minature bamboo plant.

3. In the past, it is often sold straight.

3.1 Only in modern times that exporters of this plant added a `twist' to it.

3.2 So that it makes it asthetically pleasing and as you had mentioned added a twist to all sorts of connotations e.g. a `twist' or change of anything .. one can think of e.g. change of luck, change of fate, even change related to romance.

3.3 It is easily grown indoors and little maintenance if any.

3.4 For the common household, we simply have no time to add additional curls to it. And if we grow it for many years, future growth of this upper part of this bamboo shoots will eventually grow straight up.

Sure, why not. Many plants need trimming and there is no issue in re-planting it.

Frankly, this is not a case of `do or die' senario. Like all other plants, trimming does help promote growth and rejunevation.

Don't worry too much of the significance of twisting. This plant has no magic qualities. It is after all, just an easy growing plant.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
