Lucky Bamboo Make Great Presents

by Aurelia M. Fleur

Your life can be more in tune with elements of nature by placing lucky charms in certain locations of either your home or office. This practice is known as Feng Shui, and placement of objects is important in this Chinese practice. It is believed that there are minimal hindrances to your utilization of your natural abilities when you practice it.

Hydroponic (roots immersed in water rather than dirt), lucky bamboo plants are used by Feng Shui practitioners for favorable placement around the home or office to bring good fortune to the occupants as well as the home or business. Dwarfed in the same fashion as the bonsai tree, the Feng Shui bamboos are cute versions of the wild bamboos native to Asia and Africa.

The five elements of Feng Shui, which are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, are all represented in a lucky bamboo plant. This makes them a unique Feng Shui charm. Earth is represented by the pot that contains the plant. Water is represented by the water that gives the plant it’s life. The plant itself is the representation of wood. In order to provide the elements of metal and fire, a red ribbon is tied around it and a metal coin is placed in it.

You can have all the best in life by just placing lucky bamboo trees in your home: wonderful health, better financial resources, a longer life. The number of bamboo stalks determines your fortune, such as a three-stalked bamboo would deliver all-around happiness in your home.

On the other hand a five stalked lucky bamboo brings in good health for your family. Growing a lucky bamboo plant with four stalks is unlucky as the number four in Chinese sounds like the Chinese word for death. Your florist would be able to select the best bamboo plant to suit your needs.

These plants are long lasting - up to five years in some cases, and require little water or care. This makes them excellent gifts as they are very easy to take care of. They bring luck to both the sender and the recipient of the gift. Your nearest flower delivery shop in your locality is the place to contact if you want to send a gift of a lucky bamboo plant.
