Which potted green plants have good feng shui and can bring good luck?
Many people like to buy some plants around the New Year to enhance their home environment, and at the same time want to use the wonderful power of nature to bring themselves some good luck. So which common green plants have good meanings? Read on to learn a thing or two.
Money tree (Pachira aquatica)
Just from the plant's name it is quite popular with everyone. Its leaves stay evergreen all year round and its trunk is thick and sturdy. It symbolizes gathering wealth and can enhance one's financial luck.
In terms of care, it likes a hot and humid climate and has poor cold resistance. When the temperature is low, it basically enters a semi-dormant state and stops growing, so at this time when watering, keep the soil dry. For soil, it likes acidic soil and avoids alkaline or heavy clay soil. As for fertilizing, at low temperatures it cannot absorb nutrients, and instead the fertilizer just sits in the soil and becomes a burden.
Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)
Lucky bamboo is an evergreen plant all year round, symbolizing longevity, wealth, peace and health. Keeping it at home brings good fortune to the house and is pleasing to the eye. Usually, when an elder in the family has a birthday, you can present a pot of lucky bamboo, taking the meaning of wishing the elderly to be as young and long-lived as the lucky bamboo.
In terms of care, it is a herbaceous, rooted flowering plant. The care environment requires keeping it warm, humid and semi-shaded, and it fears waterlogging, so it cannot be watered too much.
Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)
From its name you can see its auspicious meaning. In feng shui, lucky bamboo signifies a smooth official career. Growing lucky bamboo at home not only adds ornamental value, but also carries the beautiful meaning of rising step by step.
In terms of care, it is naturally fond of a shady and humid environment and can be placed in a spot with scattered light, which can accelerate its growth. For soil, it is best to grow it in loose, fertile soil, and it can also be grown hydroponically.
Money tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
The money tree, also called the money pouch, has leaves in the shape of pinnate compound leaves, like hanging copper coins. In feng shui, it is recommended to place it in the wealth position of the home, which can enhance the effect of bringing in wealth and treasure. In terms of care, the suitable temperature for the money tree is around 22 to 28 degrees. In daily life, you can place it in a spot with plenty of sunlight, but note that in midsummer above 35 degrees it should avoid direct sunlight, and when the winter temperature is below 15 degrees, it will enter a stage of slow growth, and when the temperature is below 10°C it will begin to drop leaves.
