LEGO Botanicals: Lucky Bamboo (Set 10344)

If you’re a fan of the LEGO Botanicals collection or just love the idea of adding some green to your shelf without watering anything, the LEGO Lucky Bamboo set (10344) might be just the thing. It’s a peaceful, decorative build that fits right into an office, bedroom, or cozy corner at home.

Build Experience: Simple, Soothing, and Satisfying

This set includes 325 pieces and offers a fairly straightforward building experience. It’s not overly complex, making it perfect for a quiet evening project. You’ll start with a small, stylish pot, then build up three bamboo stalks that are cleverly pieced together using round bricks, small plates, and even wheelchair wheels (a creative touch!). LEGO uses some smart techniques to keep things interesting, without overwhelming you.

Design and Display: Looks Great

The final model stands about 29 cm (11 inches) tall, with three green bamboo stems set in a pot that includes faux pebbles and clear tiles to simulate water. The overall effect is modern, minimal, and realistic—at a glance, it really could pass for a small potted plant. One minor downside: the back view reveals some exposed LEGO connectors, which slightly breaks the illusion if you’re looking too closely.

Parts and Techniques: Cool Pieces

This set features some nice new and rare parts, including a curved 1x2x1 brick in dark tan, which helps create the rounded pot shape. That said, a few builders have noted that the bamboo stalks feel a little unstable at the base. While it’s not likely to fall over on its own, it’s not the most solid build if you plan to move it around ofte

Final Thoughts

The LEGO Lucky Bamboo is a lovely, peaceful little set. It’s not about flashy features or intense building techniques—it’s more like a mindful moment in LEGO form. If you want a set that’s relaxing to build and looks great when finished, this is a strong choice. Just don’t expect it to be super sturdy if handled frequently.
