This is a summer plant per the booklet. It was easy to put together and display!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unclear instructions at step 28

DirectorPricklyVardy100 pointed this out in their review from January 11th and how they resolved this issue of parts not fitting together by removing some pieces.
I also encountered this problem at step 28 and started undoing the build of the pot/planter. I took out the 2 most-interior clear flat 1 x 4 pieces added at step 17 and removed the lucky coin and left them out while I built the bamboo stalks. I also built the stalks and their base separately — I did not build them inside the planter. The problem at step 28 is that the planter is rotated 90 degrees clockwise from how it appears at step 21. If you rotate the planter 90 degrees clockwise between steps 21 and 28, the base for the stalks should fit without having to remove the lucky coin or any of the clear flat bricks.
The rotate symbol appears at step 28, but that could be misinterpreted as after building the base vertically, rotate the base flat to attach it to the planter. Since the planter is symmetrical, there’s no way to tell it needs to be rotated between steps 21 and 28. This lack of clarity at step 28 cost me time in undoing and backtracking to step 17.
Also, my bag 1 was missing a smooth flat taupe 1 x 2 piece for the upper edge of the planter. However I got an extra of the same piece but in gold, so I flipped the planter over and replaced one of the hidden taupe pieces with the gold piece. My booklet also looked like it had gotten wet or damp and then dried (looked wrinkled) despite the exterior box being okay. Just a little disappointing that the booklet didn’t look as polished and glossy as they normally do.
The Lucky Bamboo set was a fun and quick build that leaves you with a cute and decorative "plant" that you can keep on your desk or wherever you'd like a pop of color. It's my first of the Botanical Collection but I totally want more now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very nice piece,,, she collects them and this is the latest one she built
This is not to previous Lego building standards. Not stron “bamboo” and falls apart when trying to add leaves due to lack of strong connections. Looks alright finished but not a sturdy plant like they used to make.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy Elizabeth, LEGO® Customer Service, January 26, 2025
If your set seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you need assistance!
