Description |
|
The common name Lucky Bamboo is deceiving,
this plant is not a bamboo at all,
but actually a member of the Dracaena
genus. Lucky bamboo is typically sold
growing in water. If growing in water,
the water should be changed frequently,
so that rot does not develop. Dracaena
sanderiana can also be grown in soil,
just like any other houseplant. When
grown in soil, it is usually known
by the common name of the ribbon plant. |
