Quick Tips: Lucky Bamboo
As millions of "lucky" consumers around the world have discovered, Lucky
Bamboo makes the perfect house or office plant, needing little care but
an inch of water and little direct sunlight to keep it happy and
thriving...
What is Lucky Bamboo?
Known for centuries as Lucky Bamboo, the plant is not a bamboo at all
(botanical name: Dracaena) but a resilient member of the lily family
that grows in the dark, tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia and
Africa.
How Much Care Does Lucky Bamboo Need?
Keep water fresh by changing it every week, and always keep water levels
at approximately an inch from the base of the canes. Lucky Bamboo
prefers plenty of indirect sunlight and room temperatures at 65-70o.
Although opinions differ on feeding, your Lucky Bamboo is a living
organism, so it makes sense to occasionally add a mild solution to the
water such as African Violet fertilizer. Since growth can be controlled
by feeding, small amounts of fertilizer will keep the plant at a
manageable size.
