Geomantic omen at the junction of Guangxi and Hunan

Fu Guizhu's commodity names are also called Fortune Bamboo, Lucky Bamboo, Longevity Bamboo, Wannian Bamboo and Champion Bamboo ... It can be said that they have got what they want, and people have to sigh the profoundness of "Feng Shui Culture". Fugui bamboo has the "ancestral" characteristics of excellent indoor plants: it does not need much light, grows well at room temperature, and is easy to cut and hydroponic.

Therefore, it occupies an important position in the foliage plant planting market. Because it can improve the "Feng Shui" in some places in the home, Fuguizhu is especially sought after by the Chinese world, and in line with the contemporary consumption concept of "saving trouble at home", many potted art shapes have been derived. In the end, the rich bamboo representing the "mysterious power" of the East even spread to the United States, India and other places.

As a commercial foliage plant, Phyllostachys pubescens was probably introduced to the mainland during the reform and opening up. It was soon widely planted in the border areas of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan, and created a number of millions of households in the flower industry. This not only makes China a great producer, but also has the final right to interpret the relevant culture. Subsequently, the ingenious creations of the working people also led the relevant aesthetics of people all over the world.

If we go back to the old almanac, the literature related to gardening and flowers in Europe and America shows another story. After the Victorian era, plant hunters collected species that can be raised in gardens around the world for personal fame and fortune, and at the same time refreshed the understanding of nature in western scientific circles, so an endless stream of new species were named. Today, the catalogue of plants in the Royal Botanical Garden shows that two possible scientific names of Phyllostachys pubescens were published in 1892.
