Ever since I started growing flowers, friends have kept coming to ask me: I'll be moving into a new house before long, do you know of any plants with good feng shui that you could recommend I grow a few pots of? The entryway at home is all empty, I don't know which plants are better for feng shui, could you recommend a few to me?...

Actually, those of us who truly love growing flowers don't care what effect flowers and green plants have on household feng shui. What we care about more is whether the plant itself looks pleasing to the eye, and whether the plant itself is safe, non-toxic and harmless, and suitable to keep at home, that's all. If I really had to consider a plant's effect on feng shui, I can only say I don't know either! If I really had to introduce a few, I could only pick some with nice-sounding names and beautiful meanings, and that would be it!

So which plants actually have great names and also beautiful meanings? Let's take a look below at exactly which ones there are.

1. Guzmania (Guzmania lingulata)

The name Guzmania sounds very festive, and the plant's flower center is also bright red, which fits Chinese people's aesthetic taste very well. Growing a pot of Guzmania at home, hopefully it can bring people good luck!

Care tips:

Guzmania should be grown in a place with plenty of scattered light, avoiding direct sunlight. The growing soil should be slightly moist, and waterlogging that soaks the roots should also be avoided.

2. Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)

The name lucky bamboo perhaps means bringing people wealth and good fortune. So growing lucky bamboo also means wealth and peace, because bamboo reports peace!

Care methods:

For growing lucky bamboo, it is best to choose a bright spot. Lucky bamboo grown indoors needs the pot turned often, to keep it from bending due to its tendency to grow toward the light. Lucky bamboo can be grown in water or in soil; when growing in soil, be careful to avoid waterlogged soil.

3. Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum)

The anthurium, with its green leaves and red flowers, is perhaps a plant that fits our country's traditional habits very well. When it blooms, the bright red flowers give people a festive feel and a beautiful wish for a thriving life.

Care tips:

A warm and humid growing environment is what the anthurium likes best. The anthurium likes a semi-shaded growing environment and moist soil; it tolerates neither drought nor waterlogging, so watering should follow the "water when dry, stop when wet" rule and be done promptly.

4. Copper coin grass (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)

Just hearing the name copper coin grass, it already carries the word "coin," so it must be a plant that carries very beautiful hopes. Copper coin grass is evergreen all year round, and its round, glossy green leaves are very pretty. Copper coin grass can be grown in water or in soil. Grow one and believe it can bring rolling wealth!

Care tips:

Copper coin grass likes a semi-shaded environment and is generally grown by water culture. Copper coin grass easily develops yellow, withered leaves under strong light, so when growing it outdoors, be careful to avoid direct sunlight and provide semi-shade. Copper coin grass grown in soil needs timely watering to avoid the soil drying out, which easily causes the branches and leaves to dry up.

5. Money tree (Pachira aquatica)

The money tree, as the name suggests, gives people a hint of wealth. Growing one might really give a positive hint of wealth, and under this positive hint we can more easily attract wealth and treasure!

Care methods:

The money tree is a plant that does not tolerate waterlogging, and watering should not be too frequent either, otherwise the roots easily rot. Watering the money tree also cannot follow the usual "water when dry, stop when wet" principle; we should water according to the "rather dry than wet" method, and after each watering we must wait at least half a month or more before watering again. In addition, the money tree is also a plant that does not tolerate strong light; growing it under the sun easily causes sunburn on the leaves.

6. Peace lily (Spathiphyllum)

"Smooth sailing" is what people say to wish others success in everything. Although the plant itself has green leaves and white flowers, the meaning its name gives people is indeed very beautiful. If there is an official in the household, it means uprightness and integrity, and can give people a sense of elegance.

Care methods:

The peace lily has emerald green leaves, and its flowers are white when it blooms. It can beautify the environment and purify the air, and is very suitable for growing in a semi-shaded environment.

7. Radermachera (Radermachera sinica)

Radermachera is a graceful green plant with lush leaves, evergreen through all four seasons, always showing a scene full of vitality. Just look at its name and it already carries a beautiful expectation of pursuing happiness.

Care methods:

Growing radermachera requires watering according to the "water when dry, stop when wet" principle; it can neither be dry for a long time nor suitable for waterlogged soil that soaks the pot. Semi-shade is best for light, and the leaves should be misted often.

8. ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)

The ZZ plant is like many copper coins strung along its branches, existing as if to give people an endless stream of wealth. This is also a plant that stays evergreen through all four seasons and is very easy to grow.

Care methods:

The ZZ plant is very suitable for growing in the living room in a cool place with scattered light. The ZZ plant should not be grown in direct sunlight; just water it according to the "water when dry, stop when wet" principle.

The above are the eight plants that Hua'er Gu introduces to you, whose names themselves carry very beautiful meanings. Add to that people's deeper hopes for flower meanings for these plants, and these plants have also put on the cloak of safeguarding the household and bringing wealth, so these plants are commonly grown in many households. Of course, growing flowers is best treated as a hobby; do not be superstitious and lazy!

If you also want to find some plants with beautiful meanings, then these should be very suitable! I wonder what else everyone can add? You are welcome to leave a comment and share!
