Care Instructions

1. Keep your bamboo in water at all times.
2. Use bottled water or other purified water - the chlorine in tap water can be harmful to houseplants.
3. Change the water as needed.
4. Leave the plant in a bright area, but not in direct sunlight.
5. To share your good fortune with a friend, cut off a stalk that has leaves and place it in water. Change the water every 3 days. Soon the cutting will sprout roots.
6. If you want your plant to grow faster, dilute just one or two drops of liquid fertilizer into the water, the plants will grow rapidly.

Feng Shui Tips

Feng Shui is the art of placing objects in the home or workplace to improve the flow of Chi, or energy. One way to activate the Chi in your environment is by adding live plants. Clearing your home or office of clutter will also improve the flow of Chi.

Also, according to Asian tradition, a gift of living bamboo brings good fortune. Therefore, your Lucky Bamboo plant, properly deployed, can bring you "double happiness." It is recommended that you place your bamboo on the East side of your house, and/or in the left back corner when facing into the office or living room from the door.

On a scientific note, potted plants make an environment more peaceful by adding oxygen and negative ions to the atmosphere. Computers give off harmful positive ions that get gobbled up by the negative ions from your plant.
