Aldi Just Restocked These $6 “Lucky” Plants & You’ll Want One for Every Room
Today’s your lucky day: Aldi just brought back its bestselling lucky bamboo plants for another year, and you’ll want to add one to every room!
Aldi has sold potted lucky bamboo plants since 2020, and they’re just as popular today as they were back then. These little guys come in tall pots with colorful bottoms, and some of their stems may be curled (which is a decorative feature and won’t affect their growth).
“Got my bamboo today!!” one person commented on Aldi’s recent post. Another shopper lamented, “I didn’t see the bamboo,” adding a crying face emoji.
This year, the lucky bamboo plants are going for just over $6, making them a super-affordable houseplant that anyone can add to their collection.
And bamboo couldn’t be easier to care for. It likes to be placed in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight, and for its soil to stay slightly damp between heavy watering. Or if it’s planted directly in water without soil, make sure to change the water about once per week to keep algae growth at bay.
So why are these plants so lucky? Well, because of its rapid growth and easy propagation, bamboo is seen as a symbol of health and wellness. In fact, some believe that the number of stalks per plant holds symbolism. One represents general good luck, two stalks double your luck and may help you find a partner, and three stalks symbolize health, wealth, and happiness.
If you need a little luck on your side and extra greenery, head to your nearest Aldi to pick up one of these lucky bamboo plants while they’re in stock!
