BAMBOO


To the Chinese the bamboo is an auspicious plant. There are many side effects and implications to where in your garden your bamboo will grow, and not just which variety you choose.

  • The following is some info about Feng Shui and Bamboo:
  • Use bamboo to combat the 'Killing Breath' or 'Shar Chi', as bamboo grows so quickly.
  • The chinese regard bamboo for Feng Shui as one of the Four Gentlemen of the Garden, (Chrysanthemums, Plum blossom, and Orchids make the other three. 'Disciplined and upright', it is also one of the friends of old age.
  • Bamboo is associated with longevity and durability as it flourishes throughout the year.
  • The chinese believe that hanging a piece of bamboo in the home wards off malign spirits.
  • When fashioned into windchimes and flutes, bamboo is a powerful antidote to bad Chi.
  • Planted at the back it signifies support and is especially lucky for those involved in business.
  • Having a clump of bamboo on the left hand side of your home or office can signify the dragon which is highly auspicious however if it is planted at the back of the house bamboo signifies solid support and would be especially lucky for those involved in business.
  • If bamboo planted near the front of the home, bamboo can attracts auspicious "Chi" flows. Grown everywhere else bamboo represents longevity and good health and so it seems to be a good idea to plant bamboo all around your home.
  • And finally, in the interests of good Feng Shui, always cut back old or dead growth.
