Fertilizer Question????

17 years ago

I just recieved my first Lucky Bamboo, so I'm new to this. The one that I have, is in soil, and has 3 stocks. They are about 12 inches long.They look really healthy right now. Can anyone answer these questions for me? What do I feed my Luck Bamboo? How often do I feed it, and how much? Thanks!!! Diana55

If you are talking about Dracaena sanderiana, the tropical houseplant commonly sold as 'lucky bamboo', you can use any fertilizer recommended for houseplants and follow the directions on the label. I generally suggest that a person use much less of the product, and less frequently than the label suggests, actually.

Look up Dracaena sanderiana and see if that is not your plant.
