Bamboo, 10in, Lucky

Lucky Bamboo plants are said to bring good luck and fortune to those that own them, especially if the plants were given as gifts. It also helps that they have a well-earned reputation as being nearly indestructible! These tough stalks can survive in vases of pure water or in containers of soil, and in a wide variety of light conditions.

Care

General Maintenance: If your bamboo has outgrown its container, carefully transfer to a new one. Carefully wash any pebbles you have in the container and repot by placing the bamboo in the new container, carefully covering the roots in the pebbles and putting in new water (high enough to cover the roots, but not submerging the stalks).

Temperature: 18C to 32C.

Light: Lucky bamboo prefer bright, filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves. They are more tolerant of too little light than too much. If the plant begins to stretch, or their green colour fades provide more light.

Watering: Bamboo is very sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals commonly found in tap water. Water with distilled or bottled water or let your tap water sit out for a minimum of 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate. If grown in water, change the water weekly to avoid disease.

Soil: Well-drained, rich potting soil. Kept moist but not soaking. It can thrive well when housed in pebbles or simply a vase filled with water so long as it has at least an inch of standing water at all times.

Fertilizer: A single drop of liquid fertilizer each month is plenty for most lucky bamboo arrangements. Plants grown in water only need to be fed every other month or so, using a very weak fertilizer.
