Dracaena Sanderiana “Lucky Bamboo” This dracaena variety is really not related to true bamboo at all. It gets this name because its stalks resemble bamboo canes when all of its leaves are removed. The plant can be grown for extended periods of time in only water or can be planted in soil if desired. The use of stones or marbles may help to position the plant or add to the attractiveness of the display, but is not required by the plant. The stalks which have been curled by turning the plant while it is growing, will not continue to curl in your home. You can prune the plant like any other houseplant to encourage shoots to sprout further down the stems. Once the plants have established roots, they can be transferred out of water for several hours. Yellowing of the stalk may indicate a plant virus, and you should discard any plant whose stalk has turned yellow. Keep in medium light, clean the leaves often, and change water monthly for best results. Light: Prefers strong, indirect to bright light. Will tolerate lower light, but growth will be less robust and leaves may droop. Lower leaves may yellow and should be removed by peeling downward along the stalk. Avoid full sun. Low- well away from a bright window, or close to an obstructed window. Indirect light, north facing windows. Water: Mist frequently to prevent the appearance of spider mites and to keep leaves clean. Partial Sun– east or west facing windows, at least four hours of direct sunlight per day. Full Sun– south facing window. Full exposure, continuous sun, may be hot in summer. Plants are usually grown in water only. The water should always appear clean and clear, change as necessary. Roots may be trimmed if necessary and any fertilizer should be very diluted, so as not to burn the roots. Allow soil to dry thoroughly between waterings. Humidity Medium- bright but sunless, some distance from a sunny window or close to a bright sunless window. Water when soil has dried one to two inches below the surface. Water when soil has just dried on the surface. Fertilizer Soil Not required. Use with extreme care, dilute to quarter strength of package direc- Standard good quality potting soil if desired. Or grow hydroponically in just water! More plant care tips at www.marketblooms.com Water frequently, never allowing soil to dry. Temperature Average home temps.
