I have bamboo in 2 glass vases with water. I've had them for about 3 years and they are doing very well however, I would like to cut them to make more plants. They are getting to tall for the area I have them in. Does anyone know how to cut them without killing them?

New stalks can be propagated from the original plant by using a sharp knife to cut through a stalk - just below the joint. Place the cutting in fresh, clean water. A fine mist spray to stalks is sometimes suggested to stimulate new bud growth.
