🌿 Dracaena sanderiana – Care Guide

Commonly known as Lucky Bamboo, Dracaena sanderiana is not a true bamboo but a resilient and symbolic houseplant associated with good luck, prosperity, and positive energy in Feng Shui. It can grow in soil or water, and its versatility makes it ideal for homes, offices, or gift arrangements.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Prefers bright, filtered light

• Tolerates low light conditions

• Avoid direct sunlight – can burn leaves or yellow stems

💧 Watering in Water

• Keep roots submerged in clean, filtered water

• Use distilled or rainwater – very sensitive to chlorine and fluoride

• Change water every 7–10 days

• Ensure no leaves are submerged (they will rot)

💧 Watering in Soil

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry

• Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy

• Use well-draining soil to avoid root rot

🌱 Soil & Potting (if potted)

• Use a well-draining indoor mix (peat or coco-based with perlite)

• Choose a pot with drainage holes

• Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the container

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–28°C (65–82°F)

• Avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F)

• Prefers moderate humidity; avoid cold drafts and air conditioning

🍃 Fertilizing

• In water: Use very diluted liquid fertilizer once a month

• In soil: Fertilize every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

• Do not overfeed – sensitive to salt buildup

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove yellowing leaves or stems promptly

• Trim stalks to shape or control height – new shoots will emerge

• Clean leaves with a damp cloth occasionally

✅ Ideal For

• Desktops, kitchen counters, bathrooms, or zen corners

• Perfect as gifts, especially in decorative arrangements

• Thrives in low-light indoor spaces

⚠️ Toxicity
