Guide Review - Lucky Bamboo

Lucky Bamboo is one of the plants recommended by Feng Shui masters. It is known as 'Fu Gui Zhu' in Chinese. Fu means rich, gui noble, and zhu bamboo. Lucky Bamboo is popular in Taiwan since it is believed that it can bring good luck. Lucky Bamboo is resilient and requires little direct sun light so it can grow basically anywhere in a house. It is also very easy to take care.
