These 10 money-attracting flowers bring more wealth the longer you grow them, a must-have for every home!
Money Tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
The Money Tree stays evergreen all year round, with thick, glossy leaves that look like strings of ancient coins, which is how it got the name Money Tree. It symbolizes bringing in wealth and treasure and having a prosperous financial future.
Besides its auspicious meaning, just look at its bold appearance. It not only purifies the air but is also a master at decorating the home, making it almost a must-have for every household.
1. Leaf cuttings for the Money Tree, grow as many as you want!
Don't be fooled by how aloof the Money Tree looks, just a few leaves can propagate a whole pot: pick a few healthy leaves, stick them in moist sandy soil, place them in a shaded spot, and keep the soil moist. Roots will form in less than 10 days.
2. Place the Money Tree in the wealth corner, the plant flourishes and so do you
When growing a Money Tree, place it in a spacious, bright, well-ventilated spot and avoid direct sun exposure, such as on both sides of the TV stand in the living room, on both sides of the sofa, in the hallway, and so on. These are also the wealth corners of our home. These spots not only benefit the Money Tree's growth but also help cultivate good luck.
Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)
Everyone is familiar with Lucky Bamboo. It's fresh and elegant, symbolizing wealth and peace. Put a few stalks at home and it's both good-looking and easy to care for.
Hydroponic Lucky Bamboo is clean and hygienic, looking crisp and fresh; soil-grown Lucky Bamboo grows bigger and stronger, and from time to time it even sends out small shoots.
1. Rooting hydroponic Lucky Bamboo
Many flower lovers buy Lucky Bamboo stalks directly and put them in a vase with water at home. You can sprinkle some rooting powder in the water, or first soak the Lucky Bamboo in sugar water for 1-2 hours, then after soaking, cut off 1-2 cm from the bottom, and place it in a vase of clean water. This can speed up rooting.
2. Add a rusty iron nail to the water, and the Lucky Bamboo stays evergreen all year round
Hydroponic Lucky Bamboo needs its water changed every 3-5 days. The water has few nutrients, so the leaves easily turn yellow. You can put a rusty iron nail in the vase to supplement some trace elements, reducing yellowing and leaf drop.
Money Drop (Polyscias fruticosa)
The scientific name of the Money Drop is Polyscias fruticosa, symbolizing both fortune and prosperity. It's a very popular feng shui green plant. It stays evergreen all year round, with round, large leaves shaped like a bellyband, which is why everyone calls it Money Drop.
The Money Drop was introduced from New Caledonia and has become widely popular in southern China in recent years, especially in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, China, and the Guangzhou area.
1. Occasional misting keeps the leaves shiny green
The Money Drop has large leaves and does photosynthesis quite actively. Occasional misting and cleaning of the leaves helps them breathe freely. Normally, don't water too much, and don't let water accumulate and cause root rot and leaf drop.
2. Plenty of light, the more it grows the more vigorous it gets
The Money Drop is suited to a spot at home with good light, but not direct sunlight, and away from drafts. Only then will it grow vigorously and get taller and bigger.
Money Tree (Pachira aquatica)
Everyone is familiar with the Money Tree. It can be grown in the office or at home. Its meaning isn't just about getting rich, it also represents energy. Take a look at it every day and your spirits will double.
Money Trees come in large and small sizes. The large floor-standing potted ones look grand, while the small ones placed on a desk or windowsill are also full of life.
1. Pruning and cuttings for the Money Tree
The Money Tree can be propagated by cuttings, and it roots fairly quickly, but its growth rate is slow, so it can only be grown as a small potted plant. If you like the large Money Trees with thick, sturdy trunks, it's better to just buy one.
2. A ventilated spot boosts wealth luck, proper water control produces an old stump
The Money Tree must be placed in a well-ventilated, bright spot. This not only circulates wealth and energy but also helps the Money Tree's own growth. Don't water too much; water only when the potting soil is dry. Water accumulation in the pot easily causes yellowing leaves and wilting.
Jade Plant (Portulacaria afra, "Golden Branch and Jade Leaf")
The Jade Plant has a very artistic air, symbolizing family nobility, lasting family bonds, and unity of heart and mind. As a potted plant, it can be shaped freely, and every single one is a unique beauty.
Some Jade Plants often sold on the market have pink in the middle of their leaves, but these are actually produced by applying chemicals. You can buy them, but after growing them for a while, the pink will disappear.
1. Pruning and cuttings for the Jade Plant
Just cut off any branch of the Jade Plant, stick it in potting soil, and keep it moist. It will root and survive in 1 to 2 weeks, so growing 1 pot can turn into 10 pots!
2. Regular pruning is the only way to create a shape
Many flower lovers wonder why someone else's plant is a work of art while their own looks no different from a pot of weeds. You have to be ruthless with pruning. Shape it however you like, and with a few snips of the scissors it starts to look right.
Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)
The leaves of Pennywort are round like little copper coins, symbolizing having copper coins at home and continuous good luck. Best of all, it's also very easy to fill out a pot.
Many flower lovers have Pennywort at home. Some grow the leaves fat and large, and Huahua can't help but admire them, true experts are among the people!
1. One Pennywort plant can fill a whole pot
Pennywort has super strong vitality. Just pick one leaf (preferably with roots), put it in water (it's best to add a little soil at the bottom), and in 2 weeks it will produce more leaves. In less than a month it will fill the pot!
2. Half soil, half water, occasional pruning
Pennywort is best grown half in soil and half in water. This ensures both nutrients and moisture, making it hard not to fill the pot. When it gets too dense, prune it a bit, and the remaining leaves will grow bigger and bigger!
String of Coins (Crassula 'String of Buttons')
The String of Coins looks like strings of copper coins, symbolizing good fortune and wealth. It's great to grow for yourself and also very suitable as a gift for others.
Although the String of Coins is a succulent, it isn't that delicate. It has no problem being grown outdoors. Once the sun hits it, it colors up and turns red. Growing 1 pot can multiply into 100 pots!
1. String of Coins cuttings, one branch can fill a pot
The leaves of the String of Coins are all "strung" together, so it can only be propagated by cuttings. Cut the String of Coins branches into small segments, each with one leaf, stick them in soil, water thoroughly, and place them in a shaded spot to wait for rooting.
2. String of Coins and String of Pearls (Curio rowleyanus)
Many flower lovers can't tell the String of Coins apart from the String of Pearls. The String of Pearls has smaller leaves, distinct angular edges, and a redder color. Once compared side by side, the difference is obvious.
Ardisia / Bailiangjin (Ardisia crenata)
Ardisia is also called Bailiangjin. Its berries are bright red and grow beneath the leaves, looking auspicious and festive. It's suitable for weddings and housewarmings.
The bright red berries of Ardisia are also a medicinal herb, but without a doctor's guidance, it's best not to eat them carelessly. Those with children at home should also be careful.
1. Sowing Ardisia
Ardisia has so many berries. Leave them on the plant without bothering, and after a while they will sprout and split open. At this point you can pick them and bury them in soil, spray a little water on the surface, and at temperatures of 18-26 degrees they will germinate and grow into seedlings.
2. Grow Ardisia this way to enjoy prosperity year after year
A newly purchased Ardisia looks full of energy, but once home it needs proper care: place it in a bright, semi-shaded spot, water moderately. In summer, water once every 1-2 days; in spring and autumn, once every 3-5 days; in winter, keep it warm and water less.
Lucky Hand (Mammillaria gracilis)
Many flower lovers think feng shui plants are hard to grow, so try this miniature cactus, the Lucky Hand. May it bring lots of wealth!
The scientific name of the Lucky Hand is Mammillaria gracilis. It's fairly miniature and round, emerald green in color, and produces small red flowers. Everyone, be sure to tell them apart!
1. The lazier you are with it, the better it grows, and the little lucky hands sprout like crazy
As a cactus, it doesn't need much water. In summer, water once every three to five days; in spring and autumn, once every 1-2 weeks is enough; in winter, growth is slow so water less. In short, with plenty of sun it will keep sending out new shoots.
2. Place a pot near electronic devices
A small pot of Lucky Hand can be placed next to the TV or computer to help relieve eye strain and purify the air.
Guzmania (Guzmania lingulata, "Good Fortune Arrives")
Everyone is very familiar with Guzmania, which symbolizes continuous good luck. It stays evergreen all year round, with vivid flower colors and an extremely long blooming period. Whether for the office or home decoration, it's often used.
The scientific name of Guzmania is Guzmania lingulata. It comes not only in red but also in rose red and yellow. The yellow Guzmania is called "Yellow Robe Added," and it's also a rather special feng shui flower.
1. Water it this way and it's full of energy
When watering Guzmania, pour water into the center of the flower, not into the potting soil. It's best to use settled tap water, and don't pour too much at once. If the water in the center of the leaves doesn't dry for a long time, stuff in some toilet paper to absorb it.
2. Prune ruthlessly and it will keep sending out pups
Guzmania generally blooms only once, though of course it blooms for a very long time. At the end of the blooming period, some small shoots will grow in the pot. At this point, cut off the flower stalk so the small shoots can grow quickly.
