It is customary in ancient Chinese culture that a gift of living bamboo brings good fortune. Imported from Taiwan, our Lucky Bamboo comes from original stock and is extremely hardy. They will grow indoors for years with virtually no care, requiring only an inch or two of water. This lucky charm will keep giving, too: you can break off a stem and re-plant it in water. By changing the water every three days, it will quickly root and can then be passed on to a friend. Our Lucky Bamboo kit consists of: three bamboo stems tied together with a red thread, a lucky Chinese "double happiness" red gift envelope, an imported Oriental Porcelain pot (4" diameter by 3" high), and decorative stones.
