The lucky bamboo is a truly gorgeous addition to your home or office decor and very popular in India. They are flowering plants native to Central Africa. It is a spectacular perennial plant that is attached to the Feng Shui traditions. The slender stalks which look like bamboo have different significance depending on how many of them you possess. Two stalks me N love, while three signifies happiness and ten shows perfection.
The lucky bamboo stem is fleshy. But the plant isn’t just about its stems that can be curdled or even into patterns. It also has leaves which are often a bit twisted and vibrant with bright grey green colours. They are very hardy forgiving plants and will last long even when poorly maintained.

I was extremely happy with the Kokedama anthurium I received as a gift from my very close friend. Then decided to buy few more.. bought two Zamia ZZ Kokedama. Delighted to see beautiful neat work and very healthy plants. Gifted one to our friend for her silver jubilee anniversary, she was jumping with joy. Planning to add more.. not to forget Keerthi’s very sweet attitude. Highly recommended!
