What do I feed this bamboo type-looking houseplant?
I got a big bunch of flowers for my girlfriend and in it was a sturdy, bamboo looking plant which the florist said will grow roots and can be kept in a vase of just water.
I'm sure she said to feed it too but I didn't listen.
anyway it really is growing but after a few weeks is looking like it's slowing down and is a bit jaded.
As I don't know what type of plant it is I don't know what type of feed to give it...if I give it Nitrogen rich and it's not what it wants..it could die right? same for potassium...Hmm
I'm no expert but those are the two types of feed I am good with.
I just don't know anything about this plant.
It is a bright green curly, spirally stick with a bamboo like texture. About a half an inch thick with some little shoots at the top with slender leaves pointing upward.
If you can identify it I will be HAPPY!
The plant commonly sold as "lucky bamboo" is in fact not bamboo at all. It is actually a type of dracaena. The species name is Dracaena sanderana. As far as fertilizer, any ordinary houseplant fertilizer would be fine.
