Why yellow bamboo?

Yellow or golden bamboo symbolizes growth, vitality, and resilience in Feng Shui. Predominately, when situated in the East direction, it is thought to foster health, peace and balance in the household as East is associated with the wood element, making it an ideal area for this plant.

It is said to bring in growth, harmony and spiritual protection as it repels negative energy protecting your homes from bad forces.
