This Heart-Shaped Bamboo in a glass container with river rocks makes the perfect Valentine's Day gift. Lucky Bamboo isn't technically bonsai but it is attractive; easy to grow and popular for Feng Shui applications. Place this plant on the east side of your room for improved energy and sense of well being. Grows in lower light situations.
Lucky Bamboo is a tropical plant (botanic name: Dracaena) originating in Southeast Asia. It is known for symbolizing Health, Love, Luck and Good Fortune and is frequently used in the art of Feng Shui. Stalks of bamboo typically have naked branches ending in tufts of sword-shaped leaves. These shoots are traditionally grouped together in odd numbers. Different numbers of stalks represent different aspirations.
Getting Started
Proper Care
Lucky Bamboo makes a great gift for the home or office because it grows in low light conditions and does not require any soil or fertilizer. You should keep your bamboo out of direct sunlight. Use only distilled or purified water for your lucky bamboo. This type of water reduces the chance of bacteria which can lead to a sour smell.
Lucky Bamboo stalks will not grow taller once they are cut. Over time, the leaves coming off the stalk will gradually develop into stalks themselves. Once a leaf has developed into a stalk, it can be clipped at its base and placed in water to start more bamboo. The “parent” stalk will in turn produce more little lead sprouts. If the lucky bamboo starts turning yellow, remove the infected area.
SHIP WITH CONFIDENCE
Rest assured that your tree will reach its destination well hydrated and securely packed. The base of each tree is wrapped in plastic to retain moisture and to prevent any topsoil from spilling during shipment. Trees are wired to the pot, placed inside a double-walled carton for protection and secured with proprietary packing systems to keep them from shifting during transit.

I've been buying brussel's Bonsai for some time now, and though technically this bamboo isn't classified as being a Bonsai, it has it's own character and is a delightful little plant nonetheless. Easy to care for, and Mom just loves it cause she won't kill it as easy as she has with harder to care for Bonsais. The last one i got her lasted 12 years, so this one will be around for quite awhile I'm sure. Thanks brussel's
The plant itself is BEAUTIFUL! It does not seemed to have "caught establishment" yet,
as the leaves have not grown since it arrived - I'm waiting to see growth, although it is healthy enough. The pebbles and container are lovely. A big problem for me is that it was packed in styrofoam which cannot be recycled where we live.
