🎋 Dracaena sanderiana 'Variegatus' – Variegated Lucky Bamboo

Dracaena sanderiana 'Variegatus', commonly known as Variegated Lucky Bamboo, is an elegant and low-maintenance plant that brings a touch of serenity and natural beauty to any space. Despite its common name, it’s not a true bamboo but a resilient species from the Dracaena family, prized for its striking green leaves edged with creamy white or yellow variegation.

Perfect for both aquariums and decorative indoor arrangements, this plant thrives in water or moist soil, making it ideal for homes, offices, or feng shui displays.

Important: only the stem may sit in water. The leaves are not aquatic and will rot if kept submerged — position the plant so the foliage grows above the waterline.
