 LUCKY BAMBOO CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Scientifically, the plant which is commonly referred as Lucky Bamboo is in fact a member of the Dracaena family (Dracaena sanderiana), a plants which are well known for their durability under adverse indoor conditions. Because of its ease of care and it apparent resemblance to the true bamboos, many species of Dracaena are now cultivated.
Caring for lucky bamboo plants is very easy. Following two simple rules:
1. Keep roots below water at all times
2. Keep plant out of direct sunlight.
Water Conditions:
In areas where water is heavily treated with chlorine or fluoride, the leaves tips or edges of the lucky bamboo may become yellow or brown. This condition can also be caused by too many salts in the water, such as in "softened" water. Thus, simply allow your water to rest for 24 hours before using, allowing the chlorine and fluoride to dissipate. In the situation of salts, try using distilled water.
Lighting Conditions:
Lucky bamboo grows naturally under the shady canopies of taller rain forest trees. Thus, perfect conditions for a strong and healthy plant, is an indoor location with no direct sunlight. They will also grow well under artificial lighting, such as in office buildings.
 Feeding Your Lucky bamboo:
Most local water provides no nutrients, the best food for lucky bamboo plants is the use of a very dilute solution of plant food. (Our GREEN GREEN Fertilizer is pre-mixed for Lucky bamboo) Because Lucky bamboo does not use soil to buffer the fertilizer acids and salts, the roots are easily burned if the solution is too strong. (i.e. Dilute Miracle Grow is to strong)
