Those who follow Feng Shui often use lucky bamboo plants as a lucky charm. Like a bonsai tree, these plants are miniature versions of the bamboo plants that grow in Asia and Africa. These miniature bamboo plants are hydroponic plants, meaning their roots are submerged in water rather than sand.

Lucky bamboo plants are a unique Feng Shui charm as they represent all the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water in it. The wood is represented by the plant. The pot holding the plant represents the element earth. The water that sustains the plant represents the water element. The bamboo plant is placed with a metal coin and a red ribbon is tied around the pot to bring in the remaining metal and fire elements.
