The upright stems of Lucky Bamboo Dracaena resemble bamboo canes and feature lance-shaped green foliage that grows in shoots from the top. While the Lucky Bamboo Dracaena looks like bamboo, it is part of the Dracaena family. Also known as Dracaena sanderiana or Dragon Tree, this easy-care plant is not selective about its environment and does well with minimal effort. With time, the foliage will fill in and create a lush canopy of greenery. The Lucky Bamboo Dracaena produces clusters of tiny white flowers with proper care.

Lucky Bamboo Dracaena Sunlight Requirements

Lucky Bamboo Dracaena needs medium to bright sunlight. Plants in bright light will grow faster than plants in medium light, but make sure the light is indirect. Rotate the plant each week to ensure each side receives even sunlight.

Lucky Bamboo Dracaena Care

Feeding Lucky Bamboo Dracaena
