Don't Underestimate These Green Plants: A Few Pots at Home Bring Wealth and Good Fortune
Keeping plants at home now is not only valued for their ornamental appeal and air-purifying benefits; they can also help us improve our fortune. Growing some potted green plants with auspicious meanings at home can appropriately boost our luck and attract wealth, so how should we choose potted plants? Let's take a look below.
1. Bamboo
The bamboo mentioned here is not the tall kind of bamboo; it mainly refers to potted flowers such as lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) and Buddha belly bamboo (Bambusa ventricosa). Lucky bamboo is also called "fortune-turning bamboo," symbolizing great luck and prosperity; placing it on a desk or office desk can boost wealth and fortune. Buddha belly bamboo has a fairly strong life-boosting effect and also has a certain power to ward off evil.
2. Money Tree
The money tree (Pachira aquatica) symbolizes thriving business and rolling in wealth. It is an evergreen tree that prefers a high-temperature, high-humidity environment and generally needs loose, breathable, water-retentive sandy soil. It is fairly drought-tolerant and slightly tolerant of waterlogging, making it quite suitable for placing in an office.
3. Asparagus Fern
Asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) is quite suitable for placing in a study and on an office desk. It has a certain sterilizing effect and can play a purifying role. Asparagus fern also carries the meaning of "bamboo reporting peace." It is a potted plant with high ornamental value, with a light and graceful posture, and is deeply loved by people.
4. Kumquat
The kumquat (Fortunella margarita) has golden-yellow fruit and a delicate fragrance, and the fruit stays on the plant for a relatively long time, making it an excellent fruit-viewing plant. The kumquat stays green all year round with lush branches and leaves. It carries the double meaning of wealth and good fortune, and people prefer to place a kumquat full of fruit at home for care, promptly removing any yellow leaves.
5. Bromeliad (Guzmania)
The flower color of the bromeliad looks very festive. It not only has a very strong decorative effect but also symbolizes good fortune and wishes coming true. It is very popular during the Spring Festival and is a very suitable flower for the Spring Festival. The bromeliad is best able to receive 4 hours of light every day.
6. Narcissus
The narcissus (Narcissus tazetta) has the elegant title of "Fairy of the Waves." It is mostly grown in water and has a rich fragrance, fresh and elegant. The narcissus symbolizes good fortune and rolling wealth. When growing narcissus in water, you can usually add one or two aspirin tablets to the water, which can make it grow more robust and lush.
