Move over lucky bamboo, lucky log is here!
It was love at first sight. First time I lay my eyes on it I was mesmerized by its beauty. Fresh green leaves on its thick dead stem had this out-of-the-world feeling. It was a symbol of perfect harmony between old and new. Lucky Log is here to stay!!
You might have seen small green bamboo in gift shops, stores and god knows what places. They are called lucky bamboo and suppose to bring good luck. But now a new star is in town. Lucky Log.
check the images. Isn't it beautiful. The most amazing thing about this plant is at first it looks just like a piece of dead wood. It looks the same from both sides, no top and bottom parts. But if you keep it in half a inch of water for some days it will produce beautiful green leaves. I love it.
Look, no roots!!!
