Lucky Bamboo Plant - Attract More Good Luck Into Your Home And Your Life

By:


The lucky bamboo plant is a really special type of plant also known by its botanical name 'dracaena'. This plant has special significance in feng shui, because it's known as a symbol of vitality and strength. Its rapid growth without the need for a lot of care makes it a fantastic indoor plant for pretty much anyone. Lucky bamboo plants can thrive just about anywhere, which makes it a perfect addition for a home or business.

You might notice that there are actually quite a lot of different arrangements for a lucky bamboo. They come in several numbers of stalks, are often straight or curved and are sometimes formed into different shapes and sold as novelty items. The quantity of stalks itself has special meaning. The greater the amount of bamboo stalks in an arrangement doesn't necessarily translate to better luck. If there's 3 stalks or 6, it represents happiness. 5 or 7 stalks symbolizes health. 2 stalks represent love and marriage, 8 represent wealth and abundance, 9 stands for good fortune and one big arrangement of 21 stalks symbolizes blessings.

Pair the proper number of bamboo stalks to the appropriate area of the room or the whole home with a bagua map. In an effort to do this, you are required to stand near the entrance having the bagua out in front of you with the fame section facing the direct opposite wall and then the career section directly in front of you. You can use it to map out the areas of a space that correlate with the different areas of your life which includes wealth, career, love and health.

There are special ways to use the lucky bamboo to exemplify the five elements of feng shui in action, creating balance and harmony in the specified area. The plant itself represents the wood element, simply place them inside a glass vase filled with water to incorporate the metal and water elements, add some stone for earth and tie the stalks together with a red ribbon or string so as to add the element of fire.

Even if the lucky bamboo plant does not need too much special attention or care, that does not mean that you can just neglect it. It still needs watering every now and then, do so anytime the water reaches below one inch in the vase. You should not place them in direct sunlight, they function best in areas which are dimly lit. These plants are commonly used in feng shui as remedies to attract good 'qi' or energy and can be seen in several offices to bring good luck to a business. They can also be excellent gifts for any housewarming or a brand new business.
