Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) is not a true bamboo, but a symbol of luck, prosperity, and good energy. This evergreen indoor plant is a popular gift and home décor element in Indian homes and offices." Despite its name, the Lucky Bamboo is not actually bamboo at all.

"Lucky bamboo is a famous Feng Shui plant that is thought to bring good luck, wealth, and positive energy into homes and businesses.

Its stalks are believed to channel positive energy and promote growth in various areas of life, depending on how many stalks the plant has."
The Lucky Bamboo plant is significant in two of the most widely followed systems of positive energy and spatial harmony in India.
