A distinctive Feng Shui charm is the lucky bamboo plant, as it has characteristics from each of the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The plant itself represents wood. The pot that holds the plant signifies Earth. Water is of course the water used to sustain the plant. Finally, a metal coin is placed with the plant, representing metal, and a red ribbon is tied around the pot to represent fire.
