In fact, Lucky Bamboo is said to be luckiest when it is received as a gift.

• It is important to choose the right amount of Lucky Bamboo to display in your home or office. The number of Bamboo stalks you use depends upon what kind of luck you want to invite into your life.

2. Three stalks bring happiness, wealth, and longevity.
3. Six stalks will bring luck and prosperity.
4. Seven stalks of Bamboo can bring good health.
5. Eight is a very lucky number in Feng Shui, and displaying eight stalks of Bamboo will symbolize growth.
6. The dramatic arrangement of ten stalks represents completeness and perfection.

• The placement of the plant within your home or office also counts if you want to use Lucky Bamboo for Feng Shui. The Eastern section of your home or desk represents family in Feng Shui and Southeast section represents wealth area.
• To use Lucky Bamboo for Feng Shui, the plant must represent all five elements of Feng Shui: earth, fire, metal, water, and wood. The bamboo stalk itself represents the wood, and the water it is grown in obviously symbolizes the water. But to represent earth, you must grow the bamboo in rocks. To be sure that your plant also represents metal, choose a ceramic vase that has a coin on it or a simple glass vase. Either glass or the coin in your ceramic vase represent metal. Finally, tie a red ribbon around the vase to represent the fire element.
• If the plant withers, it will no longer represent luck. In fact, it will be unlucky if it dies or ails. Care for your plant by keeping clean, fresh water in the vase.
