I understand now, Pleater, thanks for explaining.

I don't grow any bamboo, but I do have a few Dracaena house plants growing in a jar of water.

I'll have to look around my property to see if there are any plants that might be used as sticks. Rosemary maybe? A young palm tree? A dried down branch of cacti, the spines removed of course?

I have used palm fronds and stems for all kinds of building materiels.
