Lucky Bamboo

Dracaena sanderiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, also known as Dracaena braunii. Common names include Sander’s dracaena, ribbon dracaena, lucky bamboo, curly bamboo, Chinese water bamboo, Goddess of Mercy plant, Belgian evergreen, and ribbon plant.

Although the word bamboo occurs in several of this plant’s common names, D. sanderiana is of an entirely different taxonomic order from true bamboos. Despite several of its common names that suggest it is from China or Belgium, it is a native African species.

roots are covered (no sunlight on the roots)
2.  Lucky bamboo requires moderate or indirect sunlight.
3.  Fill your container with enough water to cover the roots.
