Care Guide

1. Watering: Sanderiana Lucky Bamboo is typically grown in water, and it is important to keep the water level consistent. Use distilled water or allow tap water to sit for 24 hours to allow chlorine to dissipate before using it for your plant. Keep the roots submerged in water, changing it every two to four weeks to prevent stagnation.
2. Light: Sanderiana prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. It's a good idea to rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth.
3. Temperature: Sanderiana thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 90°F (18°C to 32°C). It is sensitive to cold drafts, so avoid placing it in areas with sudden temperature drops.
4. Soil: While Lucky Bamboo is often grown in water, it can also be potted in well-draining soil. If you choose to use soil, make sure it's kept consistently moist but not waterlogged.
5. Fertilization: Lucky Bamboo doesn't require frequent fertilization. If you're growing it in water, you can add a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every two to four weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
6. Container: If grown in water, choose a container with enough depth to keep the roots submerged. For soil, use a well-draining pot with drainage holes
