Lucky Bamboo Plant

Hi Friends...

Its been long time since I have talked to you through my posts.
To start with this is my first post ever on Lucky Bamboo. I recently bought this plant and just fell in love with it and its been really lucky for me.

This is just the introduction post to start with and the remaining posts shall follow up:: Gud Day



What Is Lucky Bamboo ?

First of all as the name says Lucky Bamboo is not actually a Bamboo.

It is instead the Sanderiana species of the Dracaena Plant.

Further as the wikipedia says it to be:

Dracaena sanderiana is a species of the genus Dracaena. The species was named after the German-English gardener Henry Frederick Conrad Sander (1847-1920). It is also known as Dracaena braunii, Ribbon Dracaena, Lucky Bamboo, Belgian Evergreen or sometimes Ribbon Plant.

D. sanderiana is one of a group of small, shrubby species with slender stems and flexible strap-shaped leaves that grow as understorey plants in rainforests. It is native to Cameroon in tropical west Africa. It is an upright shrub growing to 1.5 metres (5 ft) tall, with leaves 15-25 cm (6-10 in) long and 1.5-4 cm (1-2 in) broad at the base.

It is marketed in the developed world as a Chinese decorative plant "Lucky Bamboo" (although unrelated to Bamboo and not native to Asia), propagated from short cuttings, usually in water.
