Fu Gui Zhu

Fu Gui Zhu
Fu Gui Zhu, also known as Da Ye Zhu (big leaf bamboo) and Wan Shou Zhu (immortal life bamboo), is a perennial evergreen small tree with ornamental leaves from the Agavaceae, Dracaena genus. The most common form is unprocessed, which can be grown in water or soil.
Ka Yun Zhu
Ka Yun Zhu, also known as straight bamboo, is obtained by cutting the top of Fu Gui Zhu after it reaches a certain height to encourage the growth of new lateral buds at the top. It is mostly cultivated in water.

Zhuan Yun Zhu
Zhuan Yun Zhu, also known as bent bamboo, is formed by fixing the growth direction of Fu Gui Zhu with physical methods during its growth period to create the unique bend of Zhuan Yun Zhu. After the bend is formed, the top is cut off to encourage the growth of new buds, which can then be sold. The common Zhuan Yun Zhu has 1, 2, or 3 bends, and generally, the more bends, the higher the price. Zhuan Yun Zhu is mostly cultivated in water.
Pyramid
The pyramid, also known as "Smooth Sailing", is made by cutting Fu Gui Zhu stems to size and weaving them together. Its shape resembles both a pyramid and a sailboat, so some call it pyramid while others call it smooth sailing.
Bamboo Tower
The bamboo tower is also made by cutting Fu Gui Zhu stems to size and weaving them together. The higher the number of layers, the more expensive it is. Some businesses will hang some auspicious hanging tassels on them to make them look cheerful, so they are often placed in stores, offices, etc.
