A Guide to Lucky Bamboo Trees Gifts

August 5th, 2008

Feng Shui is a popular Chinese tradition that focus on harmonizing your life with the natural elements like water, fire, and earth. It gives great importance in the correct placement of different lucky charms in your home and workplace. It is believed that such practice will give you a harmonious life through the use of your talents without any difficulties.

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.

A distinctive Feng Shui charm is the lucky bamboo plant, as it has characteristics from each of the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The plant itself represents wood. The pot that holds the plant signifies Earth. Water is of course the water used to sustain the plant. Finally, a metal coin is placed with the plant, representing metal, and a red ribbon is tied around the pot to represent fire.

You can have all the best in life by just placing lucky bamboo 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.

However, lucky bamboo plants should have five stalks to bring health and good fortune to you and your loved ones. The number four in Chinese sounds like the word for death, and thus should be avoided in a lucky bamboo plant. You should ask your florist to help select the best plant for you.

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.
