Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) is a popular decorative plant, especially in Feng Shui design. Despite its name, it’s not a true bamboo, but its upright green stalks and easy-care nature have made it a favorite for homes and offices.

Symbolizing luck, prosperity, and harmony, lucky bamboo is often gifted during celebrations and business openings. Each arrangement—like three stalks, five stalks, or seven—has its own meaning, from happiness to wealth to health.

Caring for lucky bamboo is simple. It grows well in water or soil, prefers indirect light, and thrives in temperatures between 18–25°C. Use distilled or filtered water to avoid fluoride and chlorine, which may harm its leaves.

Regularly clean the vase or pot, trim yellowing leaves, and change water every two weeks for optimal growth. If you want to shape it, train the stalks using light sources or twist ties.

With minimal effort, lucky bamboo adds elegance, symbolism, and a calming touch to any space.
