This plant is said to be particularly auspicious when given as a gift. Not only will you wish someone good health, prosperity and happiness, this plant will also increase Feng Shui. Two stalks symbolise love.
Note: Although this plant is called bamboo, it it in fact stalks of Dracaena sanderiana.

Lavender is a personal favorite. This perennial shrub is renowned for its hardiness. It will uplift the mood with it’s soothing and refreshing fragrance. It can refresh bath water, and be used as a herb in the kitchem. How is that for versatility? It’s a real winner as a Valentine gift.
