Timeline

Aug 26/20: Warm welcome to Dracaena 001, also known as Lucky Bamboo! I purchase five stems and planted them in potting mix, even though I’ve only ever seen Lucky Bamboo sold growing in water. When I was reading about how to care for this plant, I learned that it is a species of Dracaena, so it should do better planted in soil. I had kept Dracaena 001 in water for its first few days in our home and I’m hoping the water roots will adjust well to the new potting medium.
