Lucky Bamboo
It was
customary in ancient Oriental culture that a gift of living bamboo
brings Good Fortune. Whatever the occasion - New Year, Birthday,
Pagoda-warming, or Wedding Anniversary - these lucky green shoots will
bring a smile to your face. Lucky Bamboo comes from original stock and
is extremely hardy. They will grow indoors for years with virtually no
care, requiring only an inch or two of water. A few drops of diluted
fertilizer (about 2 drops or 3 drops) will cause them to grow rapidly,
otherwise they will remain the same size . This lucky charm will keep
giving too: you can break off a stem and re-plant it in water. By
changing the water every two weeks, it will quickly root and can then be
passed on to a friend. Place the plant on he East side of the house,
and/or the left back corner of the office, cubicle, or living room when
facing from the door. It should be in a bright area, but not in direct
sunlight. Lucky Bamboo grows in water like cut flowers, but it will last
for years. Place the Bamboo in shallow water (about 2') in a vase. Lucky
Bamboo adapts to a new environment easily. Low light to bright indirect
sunlight suits them well. It prefers temperatures ranging from 45 - 90
F. Change the water every 2 weeks to prevent bacteria from building up.
Enjoy! and don't forget, you really can't kill this one!
