I've mentioned the above indoor plant in some previous posts.
I must confess, I'm greatly attached to it as I believe it kind of protects me. When one of its leaves gets yellow, I panic. "Here goes my protection" I say to myself. No kidding.
I've discovered this plant while reading and trying to learn about Feng Shui - chinese tradition of creating a balanced, harmonious environment that will attract to it good energies promoting Health, Wealth, Luck, and Love.
The gracious (towering stalks, delicate leaves) lucky bamboo plant is my favorite Feng Shui item. It is believed to purify the room air and introduce positive vibes into the house.
It can be grown in soil or water. I prefer to grow it in a bowl with water and pebbles to stabilize it.
It requires minimal care: water (distilled) once a week, moderate light, moderate room temperature. It can be propagated through stalk cuttings and through its leaves, but that takes time.
This decorative plant can be offered , in a nice container, as a gift; it can even be sold at a small profit, especially if it's a specific arrangement of stalks.
I've got some 30 individual such plants and don't wish to lose any of them. On the contrary, I wish to buy some more, but they are imported and rather expensive here.
