How to grow and care for lucky bamboo: An easy step-by-step guide for beginners

Lucky bamboo shows up everywhere from office desks to housewarming gift baskets, prized for how little it seems to ask in return for its tidy, architectural good looks. But before getting into care, it's worth clearing up what this plant actually is, because the popular understanding gets it wrong on nearly every count.

It's also far more associated with Chinese feng shui tradition than with its true African origins. None of that changes how forgiving it is to grow, though, here's a beginner-friendly, step-by-step guide to keeping one alive and thriving.
