When placed in the "Wenchang" position (a feng shui location), it is called Wenchang Bamboo (usually four stalks are used). It belongs to the genus Dracaena in the Asparagaceae family. Originally native to Cameroon in West Africa. It is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant, mainly grown as an ornamental potted plant with high ornamental value, and symbolizes "great fortune and prosperity," which is also the origin of its name.

　　After 1970, it was introduced to China in large quantities for ornamental purposes and has now become a common ornamental plant in China, as well as quite popular in the international market.

　　When grown for commercial ornamental use, Lucky Bamboo is ideally cultivated to a height of 80–100 centimeters. It is mostly grown in gardens and prefers shady and humid conditions. Its stems and leaves are thick and fleshy. Varieties include green leaves, green leaves with white edges (called Silver Edge), green leaves with yellow edges (called Golden Edge), and green leaves with silver centers (called Silver Center).
