lucky bamboo
Auspicious stalked houseplant
Lucky bamboo is a houseplant popular in feng shui practice, believed to bring good fortune and positive energy to homes and offices.
Despite its name, it isn't actually bamboo but a species of Dracaena native to tropical Africa.
The plant grows in water or soil and is often sold with its stalks trained into spirals or woven into decorative shapes.
Different numbers of stalks supposedly confer different types of luck—three for happiness, five for health, and so on.
