Lucky Bamboo isn't a bamboo at all.
The canes, stalks or stems (whatever you prefer to call them) resemble the canes of a bamboo plant
It's a dracaena, Dracaena sanderiana or braunii to be exact.
Lucky Bamboo has been a part of Chinese culture for thousands of years
but has really skyrocketed into popularity in the past 15 years and is now commonly found in many parts of the world.
Lucky Bamboo is found in may different forms and arrangement
The number of stalks have different meanings as do the different forms like trellis, tree, spiral, etc.
Lucky Bamboo care tips
LIGHT
Lucky Bamboo does great in bright light. It'll tolerate lower light levels just fine but it won't grow much.
Be sure to avoid putting it in direct, hot sun as it'll burn baby burn.
You may need to rotate your plant so it gets light evenly on all sides.
WATER
There is a bit of mixed opinion regarding this.
Some people never change water, some change it frequently & others every now & then
I fall into the every now & then category as I change the water about every 2 months.
I make sure the water completely cover the roots in both of my arrangements
so I add a bit of water as needed, every 2-7 days depending on the temps. If the water is smelling bad, then change it
Here's 1 thing I can tell you about your Lucky Bamboo & water
if your tap water is hard (containing a lot of minerals)
then you'll need to use distilled or purified water.
All dracaenas are prone to tipping so if yours is starting to show a lot of brown tips or a build of white in the vase or dish
don't use tap water
CONTAINER SIZE
you can use small or large container
Lucky bamboo likes warmer temperatures of between 65 F and 90 F. Do not place the plants in front of air conditioning or heating vents.
In addition to water, lucky bamboo can be grown in a well-drained,
rich potting soil.
Keep the soil moist, but not soaking
Water as you would any Dracaena species.
Fertilizer
Plants grown in water
will only need to be fed every other month or so, using a very weak liquid fertilizer.
A single drop of liquid fertilizer is plenty for most lucky bamboo arrangements.
Alternatively, specialty lucky bamboo fertilizers are available.
Common Problems With Lucky Bamboo
Leaves that are yellow usually indicate too much sun or too much fertilizer.
Cut out the fertilizer and move the plant to a shadier location.
Brown leaves usually indicate dry air or polluted water.
Raise the humidity level by spraying the plant regularly and make sure you're using the appropriate water.
If the stalks themselves begin to rot or turn mushy,
they are likely beyond saving
Worse yet, decaying stalks threaten any other stalks they are close to
Remove them at once.
If you really want to save it, cut away the yellow parts and try to root the trimmed stalk in new water.
The most common mistakes related to lucky bamboo are usually connected to the water.
Chlorinated water will kill them over time,
and water that is dirty or infected with bacteria can be deadly.
If a plant develops black roots, these should be cut away.
Similarly, dead leaves should never be allowed to rot in the water as they might introduce bacteria.
Practice good water hygiene by changing the water every week with distilled or bottled water.
If algae are growing in the water, it's usually because the plant is potted in a clear vase,
allowing light to penetrate and encouraging algae growth.
Just clean it out and start again,
switching to an opaque container if algae is a persistent problem.
