Sanderiana Variegated Care

Lucky bamboo is very sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals commonly found in tap water. Because of this, it's a good idea to water your lucky bamboo only with bottled or distilled water, or tap water that has been left out for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate. Healthy lucky bamboo roots are red, so don't be alarmed in a glass vase if you can see red roots. If growing in a water vase, change the water weekly to avoid any diseases.

Using very sharp, sterile pruning shears, cut back any shoots that are thin, overly long, or growing crookedly. The shoots are the stems that have leaves on them. Trim back shoots to a length of 1 or 2 inches (2.5-5 cm.) from the stalk

A single drop of liquid fertilizer each month is plenty for most lucky bamboo arrangements, and plants grown in water will only need to be fed every other month or so, using a very weak liquid fertilizer. Alternatively, specialty lucky bamboo fertilizers are available.

From all my growing experience and observations the “Lucky Bamboo” does best in good indirect light but not direct sun.

Dracaena sanderiana is a tender dracaena, this plant requires protection from excessive sun and wind; it prefers areas of rich, well-watered, well-drained soil; nor a dryland or beach plant. Dracaena sanderiana has a slow growth rate and is easy to be transplanted. Light: bright indirect light.
