History of Lucky Bamboo

Good for Feng Shuei – In Chinese, it is called "Fu Gwey Zhu", Fu means Wealth, Rich, Gwey means Power, honor, Zhu is Bamboo. It is not real bamboo like you can find in the back yard or in the nurseries. It is probably closer to the "Dracaenas", but it is not the same. They came from sub-tropical area in Asia, like Southern China and Taiwan.

What is Feng Shuei? – Feng Shuei literally means "wind" and "water". Like wind and water, its principles involve movement, flow, circulation, and the harmonious rhythm of natural energies. According to Chinese belief, a vital energy called "chi" animates all life. Chi flows through the earth, through the heavens, and through our bodies. Chi that flows through our environments, our homes, work places, and communities can also become blocked. Just as a flower garden can't thrive if it is clogged up, Feng Shuei's intent is to balance and focus the chi in a particular environment and to correctly align it with the forces of nature. When our environments are in harmony with the universe, the "three great blessings" - health, happiness, and prosperity can be achieved.

Do they grow roots, branches and spread out and take your whole yard? - Thank God, we all know how hard it is to control the growth of real bamboo plants in the yard or in a pot. Luckily bamboo is a stick that will only grow a few inches of roots and sprouts, and definitely will not grow any branches or babies.

How did the stick get curled? – People see the fancy curls or wavy ones and think that Lucky Bamboo can grow that way. Lucky Bamboo actually only grows straight and does not grow curly or wavy at all. Farmers have to lay them on a huge long table in the hot house, cover 3 sides in the dark, one side has bright light and let them grow naturally toward the light, and manually rotate them periodically; more work, more curl. It takes an average of 1.5 years to make one curl. Can you do it yourself? Yes, you can make it curl like farmers do when the stick is fresh and young. The stick is not going to grow longer but it can turn when it feels the light coming from only one side for certain length of time.

Will they grow taller? - No, all the sticks receive special treatment when they have reached the shape and length needed. They only keep growing green leaves and stay green in either water or soil.

Easy Maintenance - Only water is needed. They don't need much light or any fertilizer. Any place in the room is fine. No need to transplant, no need to put them in the soil.

Creative Decoration - They are so green and beautiful. They can go with any flower arrangement and look elegant. Arrange a bundle of Lucky Bamboo in different sizes or different height for layers.... You can be very creative with them. Make a Dollar sign with 2 straight bamboo sticks and one spiral curl stick for your office or home to get good luck!
