9GreenBox Lucky Bamboo - White Teardrop Vase - Home, Kitchen, Office Decor - Attracts Zen, Luck, Good Fortune - Non-GMO, Grown in USA

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 came from the dark tropical rainforests of Africa and Southeast Asia. Despite its common name, it does not belong to the bamboo family but is related to lily plants. This famous Feng Shui plant represents the five elements - earth, wood, water, metal, and fire - in each of its parts. Rocks or pebbles represent earth, the stalks represent wood, water symbolizes life, ornaments or coins symbolize metal, and the colors red, burgundy, or pink represent fire. The number of stalks on each bamboo plant symbolizes different beliefs in Feng Shui. Two stalks represent love, three stalks represent happiness, wealth, and long life (FuLuSoh), five stalks represent your spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and intuitive side, six stalks symbolize good luck and wealth, seven stalks represent good health, eight stalks signify growth, nine stalks bring great luck, ten stalks signify perfection, and twenty-one stalks represent powerful blessings. However, it is important to note that giving a 4-stalks lucky bamboo plant as a gift can be offensive and rude in Chinese belief, as the number 4 is associated with death.

Lucky Bamboo can grow in both soil and water conditions. If grown in soil, the soil should be kept very moist to provide optimal growing conditions. If the soil becomes dry, it can cause the plant to die. If grown in water, ensure that the leaves are completely out of the water to prevent rotting. Fresh, distilled, and bottled water are preferable to saltwater. Tap water can be used, but be sure to follow the instructions mentioned to avoid harming the plant.

Over the years, Lucky Bamboo has become a popular office and house plant because it can be trained into different shapes, such as twists and curls, with varying numbers of stalks. Despite its delicate appearance, Lucky Bamboo is easy to care for and is a very tolerant plant. Here are some growing tips: - Sunlight: Place the Lucky Bamboo in a bright area away from direct sunlight. The temperature should be between 60F to 90F. - Water: Lucky Bamboo is sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals found in tap water. Let the tap water sit for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate before using it for your plant. Distilled or bottled water is preferred. Change the water weekly to maintain healthy growth. Red roots indicate a healthy plant. - Fertilizer: Fertilize only once every three to four months with a diluted water-soluble fertilizer. Yellow leaves may indicate too much sunlight or fertilizer. Cut out the fertilizer and move the plant to a shadier location if this occurs. - Shaping: Shaping the Lucky Bamboo is not as difficult as it may seem. Place a board above the bamboo to encourage sideways growth towards the light. You can also use wire to bend the stalks in desired directions. Ribbon or twist ties can be used to hold the stalks upright.

Lucky Bamboo is a well-known plant in Chinese culture for bringing good fortune and is an important element in feng shui. It is believed to bring positive energy into your home or office. Receiving a bamboo plant as a gift is considered to bring good luck. Lucky Bamboo can grow to a height of 2 to 3 feet.

Taking care of a bamboo plant is easy. It can grow in a vase filled with pebbles and an inch of water. Adding a drop of liquid fertilizer once a week will promote its growth. Remember to change the water every two weeks. It prefers bright and filtered sunlight, so avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it can burn the leaves.

When trimming a Lucky Bamboo, avoid cutting the main stalk. Instead, trim the offshoots within an inch or two of the main stem. To discourage new growth, dip the cut ends in paraffin.
