Care Instructions
-
Choose indirect light: Keep the stalks in bright filtered light and away from intense direct sun that can scorch foliage.
-
If growing in water: Keep the roots submerged while leaving most of the stalk above water. Refresh the water regularly.
-
Use suitable water: If tap water causes leaf-tip browning or yellowing, try filtered, distilled or otherwise low-mineral water.
-
If growing in soil: Use a pot with drainage and keep the mix lightly moist rather than saturated.
-
Keep temperatures stable: Protect the plant from cold drafts, heating vents and abrupt temperature changes.
-
Fertilize sparingly: Excess fertilizer can damage Lucky Bamboo, especially when grown in water. Use only a very dilute product when needed.
Safety note: Lucky Bamboo is a Dracaena and should not be treated as edible. Keep it away from pets and children who may chew or ingest plant material.
