I see this arrangement all the time when I visit plant stores. I don't actually know why the stems are twisted to each other. I wonder if the purpose is biological or decorative. Occasionally, a red ribbon is attached to the plant. That it also something that baffles me. Does it bring good luck or merely placed there to make it look good?

Panaderos, honestly this biology graduate has no idea.
Bunbungirl, I like Japanese food!
Bingkee, I think it's being marketed as one.
Random Ramblings, me too. How'd they do that. The trunks don't look very soft.
