Money Plant

Money Plant is also called the “Good Luck Plant” and is an age-old token of good luck and an invitation to good fortune. It is the most popular plant for "Feng Shui" because it creates positive energy ("Chi" or "Qi"). It is rumored to bring prosperity and wealth to your surroundings and decorates your home with nature and good luck. The name "money tree" refers to the story of its origin, where a poor man prayed for money, found this "odd" plant.

Consistent over watering a money plant will cause root rot, and eventually kill the plant.You want to allow money plant soil to dry out slightly between watering, but don’t let it dry out completely. Money trees don’t need as much water during the winter as they do in the summer, so allow the soil to dry out a bit more between watering in the winter.

Feng Shui, Vastu, and the Money Plant

Vastu experts recommend planting money plants inside the house as they bring good luck. Placing a money plant in front of a sharp corner or angle reduces anxiety and stress. After all, sentiments and moods play a great role in energizing people and encouraging them to work relentlessly to achieve goals. The growth of the plant, however, takes place when planted in the tilled soil with proper watering and nutrient application. Vastu experts say plants activate positive energy in our lifes.
