Ideal GIFT for your family, loved ones, friends, co-workerseach order contains: 6 stalks of 4 inches + 2 stalks of 6 inches Caring for Lucky Bamboo There are certain growing conditions your lucky bamboo needs to be healthy, such as proper light, water, potting media, fertilizer, and temperature. When it comes to light, lucky bamboo prefers bright, filtered sunlight, such as what is found under a rainforest canopy. Avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves. They are more tolerant of too little light than too much. If the plant begins to stretch, however, or the green fades, provide more light. Lucky bamboo can grow indefinitely in a simple vase filled with pebbles (for support) and at least an inch of water. However, they are very sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals commonly found in tap water. Water your lucky bamboo only with bottled or distilled water, or tap water that has been left out for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate. Healthy lucky bamboo roots are red, so don't be alarmed in a glass vase if you can see red roots. Finally, good hygiene recommends that you change the water weekly. In addition to water, lucky bamboo can be grown in a well-drained, rich, potting soil. The soil should be kept moist, but not soaking. Water as you would any Dracaena species. 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. As you may expect with bamboo, this plant prefers warmer temperatures of between 65 F and 90 F. Do not place the plants in front of air conditioning or heating vents, or by a drafty window. How to Care for Your Plant Lucky bamboo is a great indoor plant that is very easy to grow. Not only does it do well in soil, but it does well in plain water, as well. Properly cared for, it can grow to about 2 to 3 feet in height. How to Grow in Water Fill the bottom of a container with pebbles and add enough water to rise to a couple of inches above the pebbles. The roots of the plant should be submerged. Change the water every one to two weeks in order to prevent rotting. The water should always look clear and smell fresh. How to Grow in Soil Use well-aerated potting soil with good drainage. Water so that the soil is kept moist but not waterlogged. Do's & Don'ts: Container size: Choose a container that allows for at least one inch of space all the way around the plant so that the roots have room to spread. Light: Place the plant in bright but indirect light. This plant cannot survive under direct sunlight; it will burn. You may need to periodically rotate the plant so that all sides receive equal light. Temperature: Keep the plant within a temperature range of 65℉ and 90℉. Do not place the plant near a heating or cooling vent. Water: Use water that does not contain chlorine or fluoride. These chemicals can affect the color of the leaves and make them turn yellow or brown. Distilled or purified water is best. If you will use tap water direct from the faucet, let the water sit for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate. Fertilizer: You can occasionally add a drop of liquid fertilizer to encourage growth. For best results, use a fertilizer that is specifically formulated for lucky bamboo—but be careful not to over-fertilize. Mix few drops to the water then put the bamboos. They can actually live even without fertilizer. If you have aquarium, water from aquarium can be used for this bamboo without additional fertilizer (protect those fish!). Trimming: Remove dead or yellow leaves. Don't worry they will sprout again! NOTE: The vast majority of our customers have common sense, are sensible, and understanding (you know who you are) - a few however, need reminders: If your package arrives later than expected (By now we should all know that USPS is struggling to meet their promised delivery times for First Class deliveries), INSPECT YOUR BAMBOO UPON ARRIVAL. If the roots are dried & broken, if a stalk has turned yellow or some other obvious sign of stress has occurred, take a picture of the the newly opened stalks and report them immediately. Telling us that the plant is dead or dying days and weeks AFTER it has been delivered does neither one of us any good. We go out of our way to carefully prepare and quickly ship each and every order. Once USPS takes it, the delivery process is out of our control. If the plants are placed in chlorinated water, no water, poor soil, too much sun, chewed by the cat, etc. this is also out of our control and we will not accept ANY responsibility. Each order is carefully hand-packaged FIRST CLASS SHIPPING to save you $$
