Can Lucky Bamboo Be Planted In Soil?

Brite asks:

Can you put Good Luck bamboo in soil?

Jamie’s Reply:

There are two view points to this question. One side says it should be in water only; the other side says it should be in soil. Lucky bamboo is a member of the Dracaena family (Dracaena sanderiana). I have only grown it in water, as a result I tend to lean toward growing it in water. With that said, Dracaenas are grown in soil — so it seems to reason that lucky bamboo should be able to grow in soil. My suggestion would be to experiment. If you have more than one stem — try one in a loose soil that drains well. Because of fungal issues, when in soil don’t keep it too wet. Flower Shop Network has a newsletter about Lucky Bamboo if you are interested. Go to Flower Shop Network Newsletter Lucky Bamboo for that information. Hope this helps.
