Tiger Bamboo In Glass Vase-Dracaena Sanderiana

Lucky bamboo is not really a bamboo; it’s Dracaena sanderiana. Dracaenas are members of the Lily family, which includes the Easter lily and spider plant, Tip burn is common problem within this family, for a variety of reasons. Low humidity can cause tip burn, Pertuit says. But in this family, it’s mainly caused by fluoride. For dracaenas, very small concentrations of fluoride can be phytotoxic, meaning that fluoride kills plant cells. As concentrations of fluoride build up in the tips of dracaena leaves, the plant cells die, leaving brown tips.Lucky bamboo charmed its way into the hearts of plant lovers because it requires only basic care to thrive. Just stick the stems in some water, surround them with pebbles for support, and watch them grow. The one complaint about lucky bamboo is that its leaves tend to develop dead, dry, and unattractive tips, or tip burn.
