Lucky plants are popular houseplants that many people like to use as housewarming gifts. Unlike the English name “lucky bamboo”, Phat Loc tree actually does not belong to the bamboo family but belongs to the genus Dracaena. The easiest and fastest way to propagate a plant is to take a healthy branch to grow into a new plant. After taking a bud of the plant from the main stem, you need to remove the leaves and stick the bud in the water until the roots grow. From there, you can continue to plant new plants in the water or plant them in the ground for the plants to grow. Fortunately, propagating the fortune teller is also easy and doesn’t take much time.
Steps
Cut branches

Remove the stem from the pot. Lift the plant from the pot and remove the wire that holds the stems together. Use your fingers to comb through the roots to separate the root fibers, then separate the stems. Pour the potted water into the basket to retain the gravel.
- Store-bought locusts usually have wire that ties the stems together, but wire can damage the tree, so it’s best to remove the wire. [1] X Research Source

Choose a healthy stem with long shoots. The stem of the mother plant must have at least 2 eyes, i.e. 2 detours that divide the trunk into segments. [2] X Research Source Once you have selected long, strong stems, look for a lush shoot. The bud should be about 10-15 cm long, dark green in color, and grow from one of the upper eyes. [3] X Research Sources
- The eye is the spot on the plant from which the leaves grow.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2c/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-3. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2c/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step- 3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Cut off the shoots. Using a sharp knife or pruning shears, carefully cut off the shoot from the parent plant. Cut the bud as close to the parent plant as possible, then cut a 0.5 cm section from the bottom of the bud with a cross.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/65/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo- Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/65/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove the pairs of leaves at the bottom. Use your fingers to gently peel the leaves off the cut branches. Leave at least one pair of leaves on top. Removing the lower leaves will help the plant gather energy to grow roots.
- Removing leaves is also an important step to prevent the leaves from rotting when you soak the shoots in water for rooting.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/60/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo- Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/60/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plug the cut civet into a jar of distilled water. Fill the glass jar with distilled or bottled water to the 10 cm level. Insert the twig into the water with the cut end at the bottom of the jar. Don’t let the entire branch be submerged in water. If there are many branches, you can put them together in a jar.
- It is important to use distilled or bottled water, as it does not contain chlorine that is harmful to plants.
- If you want to use tap water, you need to fill the jar with water and wait for about 24 hours to dechlorinate before inserting the branch.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/59/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-6. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/59/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step- 6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Place the branch in a place with indirect sunlight for 1 month. Move the branch to a bright spot and shield it from direct sunlight. When planted in water, the branch will begin to take root, and you will eventually be able to grow it into a tree. Rooting takes about 30 days.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b4/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-7. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b4/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step- 7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Change water weekly. Once a week, hold the stems and drain the water from the jar, then replace with fresh distilled or bottled water to avoid stagnant water. If needed, you can add more water to compensate for the amount of water that evaporates or is lost due to the growing plants. [4] X Research Sources
Tree branch care
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/12/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-8. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/12/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step- 8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Transfer the plant to a larger vase. Once the buds have taken root after a month, you can transfer them to a separate pot. Spread on the bottom of the jar a layer of gravel or pebbles about 2.5 cm thick. Insert the stem into the pot between the gravel firmly to keep the stem upright. Fill the flask with clean, dechlorinated water to the level of 10 cm.
- You can also plant a potted plant in the same pot as the mother plant that you have cut.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a7/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-9. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a7/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step- 9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Change water monthly. Plants grown in water need to be provided with clean water regularly. Once a month, drain the water out of the bottle and replace it with bottled, distilled, or dechlorinated tap water by leaving it outside. If the water evaporates quickly within a month, you need to fill the jar with more water.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/31/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-10. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/31/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step- 10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Plant the fortune tree in the ground instead of in the water. Lucky bamboo also grows well in the soil. Look for a small pot that is at least 7.5cm deep and has plenty of drainage holes. Pour a potting mix of potting soil, such as cactus soil. Insert the stem into the soil at a depth of about 5 cm. Water and always keep the soil slightly moist. [5] X Research Sources
- Use bottled, distilled, or dechlorinated water to water your plants.
- Fertilize the soil with a potted plant fertilizer or a diluted liquid fertilizer to help plants thrive.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c5/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-11. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c5/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step- 11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Place the plant in a bright spot with indirect sunlight. The plant grows well in a place with a lot of light, but will quickly burn leaves when in direct sunlight. You should find a place with lots of light to place the plant, such as a partially shaded window sill, where the plant will receive a lot of light each day. [6] X Research Sources
Taking care of the mother tree trunk
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-12. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step- 12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Trim the tip above the next eye. Take the stem of the mother plant you just cut off and place it on a cutting board. Locate the eye on the stem that you just cut off the bud, then find the next face below. Measure an inch or so above the eye and use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut off the top of the stem.
- Cut the stem just above the eye to stimulate new shoots.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/36/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-13. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/36/Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Propagate-Lucky-Bamboo-Step- 13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Dip the cut end in white, unscented soy wax. Light the soy wax candle and wait about 30 minutes for the wax to melt. Once the wax has melted into a small puddle, dip the cut end of the stem in the wax to seal the cut. This step is to protect the cut from infection.
- The best wax for this is white unscented soy wax. Oil-based waxes contain colorings and flavorings that can damage plants.

Re-insert the stem of the mother plant into the jar. Plug the parent stem back into its jar along with the other stems. Scatter the gravel or pebbles from the basket back into the pot to keep the stems in place. Pour distilled water into the jar and put it back in place.>
Advice
- Yellow leaves are a sign that the water has too much chlorine, while yellow stems mean that the water is not being changed as often. [7] X Research Sources
