Lucky Bamboo: A Field Guide
If you want to steal a garden idea from feng-shui masters, lucky bamboo may be the answer.
Lucky bamboo actually isn’t bamboo at all. It’s a Dracaena from tropical western Africa with red roots, pointed leaves, and hollow green stems, often curled into shapes. For positive energy, place your lucky bamboo in the southwest corner of your space. When selecting your plant, consider the number of stalks: some say that five will attract wealth, seven health, and two will promote love.
