Lucky Bamboo Needs Leaf Growth

By: Jamie Jamison Adams

Ask the Expert: How do I make my Lucky Bamboo grow more leaves? These are new plants to me and I love them but they seem to only have 1 or 2 leaves on them. How do I get them to grow 2 or 3 more? Thanks a bunch for your help.

With lucky bamboo (Draceana sanderiana), I would recommend a light solution of water soluble fertilizer about once a month until winter to encourage leaf production. I would also recommend misting the lucky bamboo every couple of days. If you have it in extremely low light, give it a little more light. All of these things should encourage leaf growth from the top of the plant.
