LUCKY BAMBOO is considered one of the most auspicious plants to use in Feng Shui to bring positive energies into your home or work space. Bamboo carries positive, abundant, luck and wealth Qi (energy) and represents flexibility, freedom and peace. Bamboo is hollow inside which allows more movement of this positive Qi, teaching us to use the energy and wisdom inside of us to reflect the world outside of us.

You can put the stalks (Wood Element) in a glass vase (Earth Element) or one with a metal rim (Metal Element), and fill the vase with stones (Earth Element) and water (Water Element), making sure all the roots are submerged in the water. Tie a piece of red ribbon (Fire Element) to the stalks and WA-LA!
