1. Lucky bamboo should not be placed in the wealth position; placing it in the wealth position or the sha position will both make fortune turn worse. Placing lucky bamboo in the wealth position of the whole house will lead to losses in wealth luck.
2. Lucky bamboo is usually placed on one side of the living room, and can also be placed in the study, but it is best to avoid placing it in the bedroom, because lucky bamboo is a plant and belongs to the yin nature in the five elements.
3. It is best to place lucky bamboo according to your own fate and five elements. For example, if your five elements belong to wood, then lucky bamboo should preferably be placed on the east side of the house.
4. Lucky bamboo should not be placed in a line with the kitchen, and avoid placing a single stalk, which easily forms the character "" (trapped) in the house, that is, a single piece of wood in the house is inappropriate.
5. Lucky bamboo must not be placed beside the TV or in places where the air conditioner or electric fan often blows, to avoid the leaf tips and leaf edges drying out and withering due to dryness.
6. If lucky bamboo withers or its leaves turn yellow and dry due to lack of water, these broken branches and yellow leaves must be trimmed off in time, otherwise the plant's qi will decline and the household owner will also suffer the consequences.
7. When you buy lucky bamboo, never remove the red ribbon on it, otherwise it will lead to yin flourishing and yang declining. Not only will wealth luck fail to prosper, but you will first lose wealth, and may even have continuous bad luck.
