If the plant withers, it will no longer represent luck.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.

The quality of water will influence the look of the plant, so be sure to use filtered water as excess minerals in tap water can turn the plant yellow or brown.

Maintain the level of the water at one inch above the bottom of the stalks. The plant also prefers indirect sunlight and room temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees.

For the Feng Shui bamboo to be most effective, it is essential that you take care of it properly. Remember, its health signifies your growth.

Choose the correct number of bamboo stalks:

• Two bamboo stalks represent a couple, so they bring luck in love
• Three stalks bring happiness, wealth, and longevity
• Six stalks will bring luck and prosperity
• Seven stalks of bamboo can bring good health
• Eight stalks of bamboo symbolize growth
• Ten stalks represent completeness and perfection

Bamboos have a special meaning–they are symbolic for climbing such as seeking a promotion at work.
