Lucky bamboo plants are extremely easy to take care of and require very little maintenance, making them a perfect gift for a grandmother on Mother s Day, or a grandfather on Father s Day.

Lucky Bamboo is one of the most popular feng shui cures. You can see feng shui lucky bamboo in most floral shops nowadays. These cute little arrangements in their exotic containers are stalks of Dracaena sanderiana, a plant native to the equatorial West African region.

They are not bamboo.

So, why is it called the “lucky bamboo”? Most likely, because cuttings of the Dracaena look like the bamboo and the Chinese have for centuries associated the bamboo with good fortune, fortitude, and resilience.

The lucky bamboo arrangement is a perfect coming together of the five essential elements of Feng Shui – earth, wood, water, metal, and fire.
The rocks or pebbles in the plant container symbolize earth.
The vertical stalks symbolize wood.
The bamboo stalks are generally placed in water.
Metal is found as small ornaments or coins in the container.
And fire is any color of red, pink, burgundy, or maroon that can be added.
