Lucky You!
You have just received a lucky bamboo, and you've been told it will attract a good Feng Shui energy. But you wonder where would be the best places for your Lucky Bamboo in your home.
Firstly, deciding where to put your lucky bamboo in your home will be easier once you've decided what you wish to accomplish with this valuable feng shui plant.
Without question, the best places for a lucky bamboo plant is the wealth luck (southeast) and health luck (east) sectors.
Both sectors are governed by the wood element, so plants are ideal activators for these sectors.
...In the kitchen?
- A lucky Bamboo in kitchen represents happiness thus if your kitchen falls in the southeast or east sector, it is actually a great place for your lucky bamboo plant.
If the kitchen isn't in either of these sectors, determine the room's east or southeast corners and place the plant in one of those corners.
You can also place this plant in areas where stagnant chi may be pooling, such as above cabinets or even on top of a refrigerator.
If your kitchen dining table is located in either sector you can use a lucky bamboo plant for a centerpiece.
A three-stalk arrangement works in this room since it represents happiness, long life, and wealth.
Both five stalks and seven stalks symbolize health, which is a great energy for a kitchen, don't you think?
...or in the bathroom?
- The wastewater of a bathroom generates negative chi (sha chi) but a lucky bamboo neutralizes it. According to Feng Shui principles, plants in the bathroom can neutralize the water since wood exhausts water.
Thus, a shelf over the toilet is a great location for the plant. Place the bamboo arrangement on the back of the toilet for the best placement. A clay pot will add more control over the waste water since the earth element destroys water.
Secondly, set the plant on a coffee table to prevent chi energy from accumulating. A rectangle or square coffee table often becomes an obstacle and prevents chi energy from moving freely around the room. The plant will attract the chi energy to lift above the coffee table and move freely.
An end table or a sofa table are also good choices for placement options.
Thirdly, a lucky bamboo centerpiece in a dining room promotes abundance. Place your bamboo plant as the centerpiece for the dining table so the energy it attracts is doubled.
The dining room is the seat of the family abundance. Placing a lucky bamboo plant in this room is an auspicious addition.
Finally, an appropriate feng shui dining room design will have a mirror that reflects the dining table to double the abundance.
Disclaimer : don't put your lucky Bamboo in the bedroom as Feng shui principles state that the yang energy of plants is too powerful for a room dedicated to rest and relaxation. Avoid placing any plant in the bedroom.
