60 cm Spiral Stick Lucky Bamboo
⚡ 500+ sold recently
(MRP Inclusive of all taxes)
A living sculpture for a desk or a shelf: three to five stems of lucky bamboo, each trained into a tight spiral and standing about 60 cm tall. The curl is not a cutting trick — the stems are turned a little at a time towards the light over many months, so each one grows its own coil.
Despite the name it is not a bamboo at all, but Dracaena sanderiana, a shade-loving African plant that will grow in a vase of water or in soil. It asks for bright indirect light, clean water and very little else, which is why it survives offices and first-time plant owners that nothing else does.
Specifications
| Family | Asparagaceae |
|---|---|
| Native region | Central Africa (Cameroon and the Congo basin) |
| Mature height | 60 cm as sold; stems lengthen slowly with age |
| Mature spread | 15–25 cm across the arrangement |
| Growth rate | Slow |
| Foliage | Strap-shaped, glossy mid-green leaves along a jointed green stem |
Care guide
| Sunlight | Bright indirect light. Direct sun scorches the leaves; it tolerates low light and shade, growing more slowly. |
|---|---|
| Watering | In water: keep 3–5 cm covering the roots and change it every 1–2 weeks. In soil: keep lightly moist, never waterlogged. It is sensitive to chlorine and fluoride, so use filtered or RO water, or leave tap water standing overnight. |
| Soil / mix | Grows in plain water, or in a free-draining potting mix with sand or perlite |
| Temperature | 18–32 °C. Keep it above 12 °C and away from cold draughts and air-conditioning. |
| Humidity | Ordinary room humidity is enough; occasional misting helps in dry weather |
| Fertilizer | A very dilute liquid feed every 6–8 weeks in the growing season. Too much fertiliser yellows the leaf tips. |
| Pruning | Snip off yellowing leaves and unwanted offshoots at the stem. Cutting a stem stops it lengthening and pushes side shoots. |
| Repotting | Every 1–2 years, or when roots crowd the container. Rinse the pebbles and the vase at the same time. |
| Propagation | Stem cuttings with at least one node, rooted in water over 3–6 weeks |
| Pests & problems | Mealybug and spider mite occasionally. Brown leaf tips are usually dry air or fluoride in the water rather than a pest. |
| Toxicity / safety | Toxic to cats and dogs if chewed (saponins) |
| Difficulty | Very easy |
Uses
Desk and table top, gifting, indoor décor; widely kept as a Vastu and feng shui plant
Growing tips
Turn the vase a little each week so the spiral keeps its shape and the stem does not lean. Yellow stems mean too much sun or stale water; limp leaves mean it has dried out.
