There is an art to keeping flowers at home; these 6 flowers bring wealth and good fortune while also nourishing the body
It seems everyone likes to keep a potted flower at home to boost their feng shui, but everyone's needs are a little different. Some people want progress in their career and studies, some want a promotion and to get rich... Since the needs differ, the flowers you want to grow will naturally differ too.
So who exactly is best suited to which flowers? Come along with Xiaohua and take a look!
I. Three flowers for rolling in wealth
1. Money Tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
The Money Tree gets its name from the shape of its leaves. Its leaves look like the coins used in ancient times; cluster after cluster of leaves, like string after string of coins, and so it is loved and grown by Chinese people who favor auspicious meanings
More importantly, the Money Tree can absorb formaldehyde, benzene compounds and carbon dioxide, and kill bacteria in the air. Very nourishing for people!
It is best placed on a balcony; on the balcony it can absorb the metal energy of the outside world, which is very beneficial for bringing wealth into the home. What's more, a Money Tree with thicker, larger and greener leaves works even better.
2. Money Tree (Pachira aquatica)
The Money Tree, as its name suggests, brings in wealth and treasure, and in China it is a very popular plant. And Xiaohua also heard that placing a 100-yuan renminbi note under the pot of a Money Tree lets you nourish wealth with wealth!
Placement: 45° directly facing the main door, or the southeast direction of the home
3. Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)
Pennywort has round little leaves, very cute, and at the same time, because those round leaves look just like the copper coins of ancient times, and because the name itself contains the words for copper coin, it also carries the meaning of wealth rolling in.
Placement: living room, coffee table
II. 3 kinds of flowers for health and longevity!
1. Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana)
The flower language of Kalanchoe: great fortune and prosperity, a long life of a hundred years, blessing, longevity and celebration. Kalanchoe has a fairly compact plant shape, and its leaves are crystal clear and bright, its flowers dense and gorgeous, in pink, crimson or orange-red, with a very ornamental effect, and it has a long blooming period, making it an excellent choice for beautifying the home.
Kalanchoe is called Kalanchoe because its blooming period is long. And longevity has been something Chinese people have eagerly pursued since ancient times, so needless to say, just by its name alone, Kalanchoe already implies a beautiful symbol that matches our wishes: longevity.
Kalanchoe is also called the Shouxing flower, implying health, longevity and peace, so for families with elderly people, it is the most suitable one to keep a pot of!
Placement: coffee table, balcony, windowsill
2. Chrysanthemum
In ancient myths and legends, the chrysanthemum was also given the meaning of auspiciousness and longevity. Paired with pomegranate, finger citron, peach and so on, the chrysanthemum symbolizes many children, much fortune and long life, and most commonly it is paired with the red-crowned crane, symbolizing a birthday congratulation
The chrysanthemum has the effect of "a superior tonic for nurturing one's nature, able to lighten the body and prolong life," and is honored as the "longevity guest" among the "twelve guests." People pair the chrysanthemum with other flowers, plants, objects and words that share the same sounds, forming all kinds of richly connoted "auspicious phrase" patterns to adorn daily life and seek happiness and longevity.
Placement: balcony, living room
3. Monstera (Monstera deliciosa)
Monstera has a long lifespan, hence the meaning of health and longevity; placing a pot of Monstera at home has a certain feng shui effect for the elderly. Putting Monstera in an elderly person's bedroom can add fortune and longevity, benefiting the elderly.
In the living room, at the diagonal corner from the entrance that symbolizes the wealth position, placing such a broad, thick plant can play a role in attracting wealth. At the same time, its special green and vibrant appearance can add vitality to the whole room, improve a person's mood, and make them more positive and optimistic.
Placement: elders' bedroom, living room, 45° diagonal from the main door
