What do Chinese people buy for the Chinese New Year? Generally, they buy some 
auspicious decorations to decorate their home, which means lucky strike in the 
coming year; or they buy green plants and colorful flowers, symbolizing that 
they will be healthy in the coming year, and their life, career, and studies 
will be successful.

Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) has the meaning of "a year of peace and good 
luck". Before the Chinese New Year, many families buy the plants to decorate 
their home, symbolizing their expectation of good luck in the coming year. 

Mazhang is located in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, the southernmost city 
of the Chinese mainland. Since the reign of Tianbao in Tang Dynasty, Mazhang 
has enjoyed the reputation of "a distribution center for merchants from all 
over the world and a hub for land and marine transportation". Over nearly 30 
years' development of flower industry, Mazhang District, Zhanjiang City, has 
developed into an important flower and seedling production base and trading 
center in South China, currently providing rich flower varieties such as Lucky 
Bamboo, Heteropanax Fragrans and Dracaena Angustifoli. Mazhang has a Lucky 
Bamboo market share of 70%, which has developed Lucky Bamboo from a single 
variety into a variety of weaving art and modeling products supply chain. 
Integrating planting, processing and modeling, market service, export business 
and industrialization promotion as a whole, Mazhang is expanding its industrial 
influence.

Lucky Bamboo is easy to take care of, waterlogging-resistant, 
fertility-resistant, and cold-resistant, because it is adaptable to various 
climate and light conditions. Mazhang Lucky Bamboo is mainly used for 
ornamental purposes and can be placed in offices or homes. It can help 
disinfect and purify indoor air and improve the air quality in rooms where 
people don't often open windows for ventilation.

On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, Mazhang passes on the luck from Lucky 
Bamboo to the people all over the world and wishes everyone good luck in the 
Year of the Tiger!
