2. 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, so you will want to place a Bamboo plant with three stalks in this area. If you want to invite wealth into your life, the plant should be placed in the wealth area of your home, located in the Southeast, to activate that energy.

3. It's not simply enough to have lucky bamboo in your home if you do not outfit the plant with components representing each of the five elements. 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. (See tips section below on how to cut red ribbon.)

4.While Lucky Bamboo is generally very easy to care for, you must not neglect it. To use Lucky Bamboo for Feng Shui, you must care properly for the plant. If the plant withers, it will no longer represent luck.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. Water quality 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.
