Despite the name, it is not a true bamboo but a member of the Dracaena genus, widely kept as an easy care indoor plant and feng shui plant across Asia and beyond.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Flower_a2da558c-5726-458a-a06c-1a5f7fedc366_480x480.png?v=1600397290\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  The stems are upright and segmented, closely resembling bamboo canes, and are often sold twisted or braided into spirals or layered tiers. Leaves grow in tufts at the top of each cane, long and strap-like, in forest green with occasional pale margins.

It filters formaldehyde and other airborne toxins from indoor air and naturally adds moisture to the surrounding air through transpiration. The plant is well suited to terrariums, where the enclosed humidity keeps it comfortable, and it also does well near a kitchen, where ambient moisture is higher.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"lazyloaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Lotus_07a2c657-f263-49f7-9bb9-69b9f3b0f4df_480x480.png?v=1600397267\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Lotus_07a2c657-f263-49f7-9bb9-69b9f3b0f4df_480x480.png?v=1600397267\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Rotate it every week or two so all sides receive even light from indirect light sources such as office LEDs or a north- or east-facing window. Keep it away from heating vents and air conditioning units, as direct blasts of dry or cold air cause the leaves to brown and curl. Move it outside for summer if temperatures are reliably warm, but keep it covered or sheltered from heavy rain. Cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, and the sap can cause skin and paw irritation on contact, so keeping it on a high shelf is the safest option in a pet household.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Sun_65296975-26d8-49a3-83b6-b7b0ed15ae73_480x480.png?v=1600397323\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Sun_65296975-26d8-49a3-83b6-b7b0ed15ae73_480x480.png?v=1600397323\" class=\"ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Dracaena 'Lucky Bamboo' grows well under bright indirect light or moderate office LED lighting, away from south-facing windows.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Water_d9b740b9-bfce-41c4-ae3e-16bf9678c77f_480x480.png?v=1600397177\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Water_d9b740b9-bfce-41c4-ae3e-16bf9678c77f_480x480.png?v=1600397177\" class=\"ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Water it every 10 to 14 days, letting the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Soil_40a149eb-9d43-4bf0-ac38-159c702c72f2_480x480.png?v=1600397158\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Soil_40a149eb-9d43-4bf0-ac38-159c702c72f2_480x480.png?v=1600397158\" class=\"ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  'Lucky Bamboo' does best in a well-draining, peat-free potting mix with good aeration and added perlite.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Temperature.png?v=1613688445\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F and should not drop below 55°F.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"16\" width=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Fertilizer_5853ff19-6010-410a-a082-3abe233cb8d2_480x480.png?v=1600399297\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  'Lucky Bamboo' grows at a moderate pace and benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied once a month during spring and summer.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Spackle_0b1c313b-e538-42e0-8818-7f0bdf63d530_480x480.png?v=1600397104\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  It is hardy in USDA zones 10 to 12, where temperatures stay above 35°F year-round.

Switching to filtered or distilled water and pulling the plant further from any south-facing window usually helps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I propagate 'Lucky Bamboo'?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Cut a healthy stem section just below a node, remove the lower leaves, and place it in a glass of clean water. Roots typically appear within a few weeks, after which you can pot it in soil or keep it growing in water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How often should I water this plant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Watch the soil rather than the calendar. 'Lucky Bamboo' wilts slightly when it has been dry too long, and the soil surface will feel completely dry an inch down. Overwatering shows up as soft, yellowing stems at the base.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can Lucky Bamboo grow in just water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: It can. Keep the roots submerged in at least an inch of clean water, refresh the water every one to two weeks, and use filtered or distilled water to avoid fluoride buildup on the roots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How tall does this plant get indoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Lucky Bamboo typically reaches 2 to 3 feet indoors under normal indirect light conditions, though canes sold already twisted or braided tend to stay more compact due to the training process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"House Plant Dropship","offers":[{"title":"4\" Pot","offer_id":48102809665710,"sku":"4_DRACAENA_LUCKY.BAMBOO","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6\" Pot","offer_id":48102809698478,"sku":"6_DRACAENA_LUCKY.BAMBOO","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/6267d2d5-ffd2-50d2-a3a1-59278956c381.jpg?v=1784173963","url":"https:\/\/succulentsbox.com\/products\/dracaena-lucky-bamboo","provider":"Succulents Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
