Lucky Bamboo Symbolism
Lucky bamboo is a perfect option if you’re looking for a Feng Shui compatible plant. According to the Chinese practice, lucky bamboo is related to the five elements: Earth (pebbles in the container), wood (the plant itself), water (the water in the container), fire (the red ribbon often tied on the plant) and metal (the metal coin attached to the ribbon). Since the bamboo is hollow it’s said to be a great conductor of Chi energy. This allows wisdom and prosperity to flow through. The amount of stalks also has a big effect on the meaning of a particular lucky bamboo plant. They all have positive meanings except for four-stalk lucky bamboo, which is one you should avoid. See the different meanings below:

1. One stalk: represents unity and unobstructed flow of energy.
2. Two stalks: represents good luck in love (a great gift for a partner).
3. Three stalks: represents continued growth, birth and family.
4. Four stalks: represents death (avoid this plant, it is also considered a rude gift).
5. Five stalks: represents wealth, longevity, luck, happiness and prosperity.
6. Six stalks: represents wealth through opportunity and luck (great for businesses).
7. Seven stalks: represents health and personal growth.
8. Eight stalks: represents infinite energy and many blessings.
