Lucky Bamboo is a really popular indoor plant for the home, dorm, or office. The name is a little bit deceiving as it is actually not a bamboo, but rather in the Lily family with the scientific name Dracaena Sanderiana.
The Lucky Bamboo is very easy to grow and take care of. The following should always be remembered:
• The plant should not receive direct sunlight.
• The plant should be in 2 - 3 inches of water that should be changed weekly to prevent the plant from rotting. Use rocks to hold the stalk upright.
• The use of fertilizer is not necessary but can encourage and keep the plant strong.
• For optimal growth, keep the Lucky Bamboo between 60-70F.
The Lucky Bamboo usually does not require too much care. One common problem is yellow leaves. This problem is caused either by too much direct sunlight or the use of tap water with too much fluorine. To overcome this, do not place the plant directly in front of the window and try using filtered or bottled water.
