Know before you buy
The Lucky Bamboo is highly versatile and can thrive in both water and soil. If you prefer a water-based setup, you can gently remove the soil and place the stalks in a vase with pebbles and distilled water.
No, the Dracaena 'Lucky Bamboo' is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place this plant in an area that your pets cannot access, such as a high shelf or a closed-off room.
This plant is an excellent choice for low-light environments. While it can tolerate dim corners, it will grow best in bright, indirect light; avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
This plant has low water requirements. If kept in soil, allow the top inch to dry out before watering again. If grown in water, ensure the roots remain submerged and refresh the water every two weeks to keep it clean.
It is a very low-maintenance plant and does not require regular pruning or heavy fertilization. If the stalks grow too tall or the leaves turn yellow, you can simply trim them with clean, sharp shears.
