Do you have a Lucky Bamboo, or several... are you curious about its origins and traditions?
Do you want to take good care of it and learn more about these plants / interesting myths?
See some “frequently asked questions (FAQs)” with curiosities.
Is it bad luck to throw away or let Lucky Bamboo die?
No, it is a tradition to offer lucky Bamboo (in sets or single stalks) whenever someone gets married, finishes a course, changes jobs, or in moments when you want to wish good luck. This does not mean that if the plant dies or is replaced, we will have bad luck.
This Oriental tradition is based on the beauty and simplicity of Bamboo and not on any other kind of superstition.
Bamboo (which is actually a dracaena) is a rooted cutting and, as such, has a limited but quite long lifespan, though aesthetically it may deteriorate and should then be replaced.
Can I put lucky bamboo with other cut flowers?
It is perfectly possible to make lucky Bamboo arrangements with cut flowers.
Can I have stones at the bottom of the Lucky Bamboo jar?
We can use stones, sand, or even colored gel for plants at the bottom of the Lucky Bamboo.
I need to fertilize and expose my lucky Bamboo to the sun?
No, Lucky Bamboo is very hardy and not very demanding horticulturally; to thrive, just replace their water weekly.
As for light, they do well in low-light areas, and we should not fertilize them as they start to grow too much.
