Dracaena sanderiana (Curly bamboo) 转运竹 (60cmH) (10 pcs/bundle)

Dracaena sanderiana, commonly known as Curly Bamboo or Lucky Bamboo, is a popular ornamental plant native to tropical regions of Africa. Despite its name, it is not actually a true bamboo but a member of the Dracaena genus, known for its slender, upright stems and lush, green leaves. The plant is highly valued for its distinctive, curly leaf growth and is often associated with good luck and positive energy in Feng Shui practices. It is commonly grown indoors in water, where it is easy to care for and adds an exotic, Zen-like touch to any space. Curly Bamboo can grow up to 1–2 metres tall when well cared for, with its twisting, spiral leaves adding to its charm.

Plant Care Guide

Light: Dracaena sanderiana prefers bright, indirect light, although it can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the delicate leaves. While it can adapt to shade, low-light conditions may cause slower growth and less vibrant foliage. For optimal health, place the plant in a spot that receives bright, filtered light or indirect sunlight.

Fertilising: Feed Dracaena sanderiana with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing period. Over-fertilising can lead to leaf burn, so it’s best to apply fertiliser sparingly. The plant does not require heavy feeding and thrives with minimal nutrient supplementation. Regular fertilising during the growing season will support healthy growth and encourage the plant’s lush, vibrant appearance.

Pests: Curly Bamboo is generally pest-resistant, but it may occasionally attract pests such as mealybugs, scale insects, or spider mites, especially in dry indoor conditions. Inspect the plant regularly, particularly the undersides of the leaves and around the base, for any signs of infestation. If pests are detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. While it is not prone to many pests, be mindful of fungal issues in overly humid or stagnant environments, especially if the plant is kept in water for extended periods.

General Care: Dracaena sanderiana is an easy-to-care-for plant that adds a touch of elegance and luck to any room. Regularly trim any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain its attractive appearance. Keep the plant in a location that is free from drafts and excessive heat or cold, as it prefers a warm, humid environment. If grown in water, ensure the water is replaced every couple of weeks to keep the roots fresh and prevent the buildup of toxins. With minimal care, Curly Bamboo will thrive and continue to grow, creating a charming focal point in your home or office.
