Lucky Bamboo
Houseplant Size Guide
At Houseplant.co.uk, we want to ensure that you choose the perfect plant for your space. Here's how we measure our plants:
Plant Height:
Measured from the base of the nursery pot to the top of the plant, including the full length of the stem and foliage.
Pot Size:
Refers to the total width across the top of the pot.
Choosing the Right Size
To find the perfect fit, compare the diameter of your plant's grow pot to the opening diameter of your chosen decorative pot. Ensure the decorative pot is at least 1-3cm larger in diameter than the grow pot for easy insertion and removal.
Important Notes
- Plant sizes are approximate and include the depth of the plant pot and roots, not just the height from the top of the soil.
- If a specific plant size is not available, we may provide a larger plant at no additional cost to you.

Learn More About Lucky Bamboo
Collapsible content
What is the Lucky Bamboo Known For?
Lucky Bamboo is best known for its association with Feng Shui, where it’s believed to bring good fortune and prosperity. Its popularity stems from its easy care and the cultural significance that has been attributed to it, with its stalks often given as gifts to convey wishes of well-being and prosperity.
What Is the History of the Lucky Bamboo?
Despite its common name, Lucky Bamboo is not a true bamboo but part of the Dracaena genus. It has been used in Asia for thousands of years as a symbol of good fortune in Feng Shui practice. It became popular in Western culture for its supposed lucky properties and its minimal care requirements.
Where Does the Lucky Bamboo Originate?
Lucky Bamboo originates from the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia and Africa. It’s adapted to grow under the cover of shaded forests, which contributes to its ability to thrive in indirect light, making it perfect for indoor environments.
Are Lucky Bamboo Toxic to Pets?
Lucky Bamboo is not safe for pets if ingested, as it can cause symptoms of toxicity. While it can be a lovely addition to a home or office, pet owners should ensure that it’s placed somewhere out of reach of animals to avoid any health issues.
