Lucky Bamboo

 

Lucky Bamboo is native to Southeast Asia and Africa. It is called Lucky Bamboo because of its ancient affiliation with the Eastern practice of Feng Shui. Feng shui is the belief of bringing the natural elements of earth, water, fire, wood and metal to balance in the environment. Lucky Bamboo is believed to be a fitting example of the balance between the elements of wood and water. The element of fire, which would bring a positive flowing chi into the room, can be achieved by tying a red ribbon around the stock of the bamboo.

Since Lucky bamboo grow as separate stalks, the number of Lucky Bamboo stalk is significant in Feng Shui. Three, Five and six stalks are used most frequently as three is for happiness, five is for wealth, and six is fro health. The number four is never used because the words “four” and “death” sound very similar.
