Lucky bamboo plant is not a true member of the family of bamboos, or even related in fact! Although it does have the appearance of being one, the truth is that it is called Dracena and it is a type of tropical house plant.
In recent years Feng Shui has become very popular and these plants are known as one of the popular Feng Shui products in the market. Said to bring the most luck when you receive these plants as gifts for in the home or office to symbolize success due to its fast growth, its strength and resilience, and ability to flourish all the year round.
Feng Shui practitioners will recommend a these plants to improve your physical and mental energy for dealing with present day stresses. Use to bring you good fortune, growth, and prosperity, through use in your house, business premises or workplace.
They are very easy to take care of as well as all the positive benefits they are said to bring to your everyday life. They are tough and resilient and will grow in less well-lit indoor rooms as they do not require direct sunlight. Just remember to water at regular intervals with clean water. Rain water or spring water is preferable as it doesn't contain chemicals, but tap water is usually fine.
Garden centres and nurseries are a good place to look. Alternatively, you can buy these plants online. I often buy plants on eBay and you can read the feedback of previous customers prior to purchasing to see if the seller delivers good quality plants.
