It is also known as Dracaena Sanderiana, after the German English gardener Henry Frederick Conrad Sander (1847-1920). Common names include Sander’s dracaena, ribbon dracaena, lucky bamboo, curly bamboo, Chinese water bamboo, friendship bamboo, Goddess of Mercy plant, Belgian evergreen, and ribbon plant.

In India, the plants are usually imported from China and Taiwan and resold in attractive pots and the plant has become most popular indoor plant in certain parts of India. It’s colour green and yellow. It’s length about 30-100 cm and also can be formed and roped with yellow ribbon, like this. The pots are usually small.
