African yellow calendar is very yellow.

Fu Guizhu's commodity names are also known as Fortune Bamboo, Lucky Bamboo, Longevity Bamboo, Wannian Bamboo and Champion Bamboo ... It can be said that they get what they want, and people have to sigh the profoundness of "Feng Shui Culture". Fu Guizhu 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, so it occupies an important position in the growing foliage plant market. Because it can improve the "Feng Shui" in some parts of the home, Fuguizhu is especially sought after by the Chinese world. In addition, it conforms to the contemporary consumption concept of "staying at home to save trouble" and has derived many potted artistic shapes. In the end, the rich bamboo representing the "mysterious power" of the East even spread to the United States, India and other places.

As you may have guessed, growing rich and precious bamboo is not an ancient tradition in China. It's not really bamboo, but the stem nodes look like bamboo. The oldest document about "Fuguizhu" that can be found on the Internet today comes from 1987 "China Flower Bonsai" magazine. At the beginning of the article, it reads: "Compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao and foreigners like to bring one or two pots of flowers when they leave Guangdong, and the most popular one is Fuguizhu."

As a commercial foliage plant, Phyllostachys pubescens was probably introduced to the mainland at the time of reform and opening up. It was soon widely planted in the border areas of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan, and created a group 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 yearbook, the literature related to gardening and flowers in Europe and America shows another story. After the Victorian era, plant hunters collected species that could be kept in gardens all over the world for personal fame and fortune, and at the same time refreshed the understanding of nature in the western scientific community, 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.
