Lucky Bamboo Feng Shui Care Tips: Symbolizing Peace and Prosperity for a Lifetime

Most households that pay attention to feng shui will grow lucky bamboo. Whether it actually works is unknown, but it certainly carries a good meaning. What we usually call lucky bamboo is not actually bamboo, but a plant of the genus Dracaena. So how do you care for lucky bamboo indoors?

Usually, we see people growing lucky bamboo in offices or in low-light spots at home. This is mainly because lucky bamboo itself does not need much sunlight. Instead, it grows better in weak, indirect light. That is to say, when you want to grow lucky bamboo, you need to give it a shaded environment.

Most people who grow lucky bamboo indoors keep it growing in water. This situation is fairly common, but note that if you grow lucky bamboo in water, you must change the water every two to three weeks.

Before lucky bamboo takes root, it needs a water level of at least 2 to 6 cm. Once it has grown roots, you must make sure all of its roots are covered by water. As the lucky bamboo grows, you can increase the amount of water it grows in. The higher the water level, the higher the roots will grow. The more roots the lucky bamboo has, the more lush the leaves at the top will be. In addition, when changing the water, try adding a small drop of liquid fertilizer to help the lucky bamboo grow.

You can also choose to transplant it into soil. Just make sure the container you will grow the lucky bamboo in drains well. Water the plant regularly, but do not let it become waterlogged.
