Description

The listing, Lucky Bamboo Stalk (Dracaena sanderiana) has ended.

You see lucky bamboo everywhere these days. These cute little arrangements in their exotic containers are stalks of Dracaena sanderiana, a plant native to the equatorial West African region. They are not bamboo.

So, why is it called the "lucky bamboo"? Most likely, because cuttings of the Dracaena look like the bamboo and the Chinese have for centuries associated the bamboo with good fortune, fortitude, and resilience.

The lucky bamboo arrangement is a perfect coming together of the five essential elements of Feng Shui - earth, wood, water, metal, and fire. The rocks or pebbles in the plant container symbolize earth. The vertical stalks symbolize wood. The bamboo stalks are generally placed in water. Metal is found as small ornaments or coins in the container. And fire is any color of red, pink, burgundy, or maroon that can be added.

You can also customize your lucky bamboo arrangement to bring different kinds of luck to your life.

Two stalks symbolize love.

Three stalks symbolize happiness - Fu (happiness), Lu (wealth), and Soh (longevity).

Five stalks symbolize wealth.

Seven stalks also symbolize wealth and happiness.

Eight brings growth.

Nine symbolizes general good fortune.

Ten represents completion and perfection.

21 brings abundant blessings.


Build your luck with one stalk, sent with roots, established, and healthy.
Shipped protected and ready for planting. You can use dirt or rocks. The roots actually do better in soil.

You can comment your zip code and I can give you a price for shipping. Without exactly knowing where you are, you can estimate the cost of a small priority box from USPS, $4.90

I received a full size plant for less than $5.00. I also send out many polants and it never cost me more than $3.00

This "full sized plant" fit in a fit and ship box? I am asking for exact shipping, so what's the problem? If I wanted to make money off them I would have a flat rate of way too much. The general price is so people won't have to ask before bidding, if they choose.

It was a reular box First Class Mail with tracking. As you can see from my profile pic it is not a small plant or 1 piece.
