9GreenBox Lucky Bamboo Spiral Style Artificial Flowers and Ceramic Vase

Product Description

The Lucky Bamboo, also known as Curly Bamboo, Chinese Water Bamboo, Friendship Bamboo, Goddess of Mercy Plant, and Ribbon Plant (scientific name: Dracaena Sanderiana), originally originates from the dark, tropical rainforests of Africa and Southeast Asia. Despite its name, the Lucky Bamboo does not actually belong to the Bamboo Family, but rather to the same family as Lily Plants. It is a well-known Feng Shui plant, representing the five elements (Earth, Wood, Water, Metal, and Fire) in each of its parts. The rocks or pebbles symbolize Earth, the stalks symbolize Wood, the water symbolizes Life, ornaments or coins symbolize Metal, and the colors red, burgundy, or pink represent Fire. Additionally, the number of stalks on each Bamboo plant is believed to symbolize different things in Feng Shui.

Two stalks symbolize Love Three stalks symbolize Happiness, Wealth, and Long Life Five stalks symbolize your spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and intuitive side Six stalks symbolize good luck and wealth Seven stalks symbolize Good Health Eight stalks symbolize Growth Nine stalks symbolize Great Luck Ten stalks symbolize Perfection Twenty-one stalks symbolize powerful blessings

If you are looking for a Lucky Bamboo Plant with four stalks to give as a gift (receiving a Lucky Bamboo Plant as a gift is believed to bring good luck), or for yourself, it is best to choose another number. In Chinese belief, the number four is associated with death, so giving someone a four-stalk Lucky Bamboo Plant would be offensive and rude, as it implies wishing death upon them.

The Lucky Bamboo Plant can thrive in both soil and water conditions. If you choose to grow it in soil, make sure to keep the soil consistently moist, as it prefers swampy conditions. Allowing the soil to dry out will result in the death of the plant. If you prefer to grow your plant in water, it can function as an aquarium plant, aerating and oxygenating the water, which can be beneficial for fish. However, ensure that the leaves are kept out of the water to prevent rotting. Fresh, distilled, or bottled water is recommended over saltwater. You can also use tap water, but follow the instructions mentioned above to avoid harming your Lucky Bamboo Plant.

Over the years, the Lucky Bamboo Plant has become a popular addition to office and house designs due to its ability to be trained into various shapes, such as twists and curls, with different numbers of stalks. Although it may appear fragile, it is actually easy to care for and grow. In addition to its association with good luck, its low-maintenance nature contributes to its popularity.

Here are some guidelines for growing a healthy Lucky Bamboo Plant:

Sunlight: Place your plant in a bright area, away from direct sunlight. The ideal temperature range is 60°F to 90°F.

Water: Lucky Bamboo Plants are sensitive to chemicals like chlorine found in tap water. It is recommended to let tap water sit for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate before using it for your plant. Distilled or bottled water is preferred if available. Changing the water weekly helps maintain healthy growth. Red roots indicate a healthy plant.

Fertilizer: Lucky Bamboo Plants do not require frequent fertilization. Using a diluted water-soluble fertilizer at one-tenth the normal dosage once every three or four months, during a water change, is sufficient. Yellow leaves indicate too much sunlight or fertilizer. In such cases, cut out the fertilizer and move the plant to a shadier location.

Shaping: Shaping the Lucky Bamboo Plant may seem challenging at first, but it is not difficult. Placing a board above the plant encourages the stalks to grow sideways towards the light. You can also use wire to bend the stalks in desired directions. To hold the stalks together, you can use ribbon or twist ties. With sufficient sunlight and proper care, your indoor Lucky Bamboo Plant will continue to thrive and look attractive.

Caring for a Bamboo Plant: A Bamboo Plant can grow well in a vase filled with pebbles and an inch of water. Adding a drop of liquid fertilizer once a week will promote growth. Remember to change the water of the Bamboo Plant every two weeks. It prefers bright, filtered sunlight and should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

Trimming a Lucky Bamboo: It is not advisable to cut the main stalk of the Lucky Bamboo. Instead, trim the offshoots within an inch or two of the main stem. To encourage new growth, you can dip the cut end in paraffin.
