Lucky Bamboo

A popular plant used for feng shui because of its connection with Asia, as well as its beauty, simplicity, and symbolism.

Interestingly enough, lucky bamboo is actually not bamboo at all but a type of dracaena. Real bamboo is not meant to be cultivated as an indoor plant. However, because lucky bamboo is smaller, it can be used indoors. In addition, it bears a striking resemblance to real bamboo and so can be used interchangeably and shares the same meanings and symbolism in feng shui.

Lucky bamboo is strong, grows very quickly, and also bounces back quickly. It represents upright growth, nobility, and flexibility while its hollow stem symbolizes an open, humble heart.
