About this plant
Lucky Bamboo suits indoor spots with medium to bright, indirect light, tolerates lower light, no direct sun. Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it away from pets.
Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) is an easy plant of green canes that grows in water or soil, a popular good-luck gift for Dubai homes, desks and offices.
Lucky bamboo is not a true bamboo but a dracaena, sold as Dracaena sanderiana and native to Central Africa. It grows as straight or shaped green canes with tufts of narrow, pointed leaves at the top, and it can live for a long time in a jar of water. It is a traditional symbol of good luck and prosperity, often given as a housewarming or office gift.
It is very easy indoors in Dubai. It tolerates medium and lower light and is comfortable in air-conditioned rooms. In water, change the water every one to two weeks and use filtered or bottled water, since chlorine and salts in tap water can yellow the leaves. Direct sun scorches it, and it is not suited to outdoor conditions.
It works on desks, shelves, reception counters and dining tables. We offer it as a single stick on its own or in a glass jar.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Lucky Bamboo healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Medium to bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light; no direct sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
In water: top up weekly and change every 1–2 weeks; in soil: every 7 days when the top 2 cm is dry. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: Clean water with pebbles, or well-draining potting mix. Feeding: A drop of very diluted liquid feed every 1–2 months. Common mistake: Using tap water high in chlorine or salts, which yellows the leaves. Where it works: Desks, shelves, reception counters and dining tables.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
