Top 5 Plants for Money & Prosperity

Introduction

In Feng Shui, plants represent "Wood Energy" (木), which symbolizes growth, vitality, and upward movement. But not all plants are created equal. Dead leaves or spiky cacti can actually create "Sha Chi" (negative energy).

Here are the top 5 living wealth magnets I recommend to all my clients.

1. The Classic Money Tree (Pachira Aquatica)

This is the heavy hitter of wealth Feng Shui. Its braided trunk symbolizes locking in fortune, and its five-lobed leaves represent the five elements.

With leaves shaped like coins/jade stones, this succulent is a favorite for business owners. It attracts steady, slow-growing wealth.

Unlike most plants, the Snake Plant releases oxygen at night and protects against bad vibes. It's great for cutting through stagnant energy.

Wealth isn't just about money; it's about harmony. The Peace Lily balances energy and cleans the air, creating a clear mind for making business decisions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Which feng shui plant is best for attracting money?

The Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) is the #1 choice! Its braided trunk represents locked-in fortune, and five-lobed leaves attract wealth energy. Place in Southeast (wealth corner) or on your desk. Jade Plant is second - its round leaves resemble coins and symbolize prosperity.

Where should I place my money plant?

Best locations: 1) Wealth corner (far left from entrance), 2) Southeast corner of any room, 3) Office desk (far left corner), 4) Living room (near entrance to welcome wealth). Avoid: Bathroom (drains wealth), bedroom (too yang), or directly behind you while working.

Why is my money plant dying? Is it bad feng shui?

A dying plant is worse than no plant - it symbolizes declining fortune. Some believe plants absorb negative energy and "sacrifice" themselves. If yours is dying: check watering/light needs, remove it immediately if dead, thank it for its service, and replace with a healthy plant. Also examine what stressors might be in your life.

Can I use artificial money plants for feng shui?

Real plants are always preferred because they contain living "chi" energy. However, high-quality silk plants are acceptable if you truly cannot maintain live plants. They must be kept dust-free and look realistic. Avoid cheap plastic plants - they attract stagnant energy rather than prosperity.

How many money plants should I have?

Quality over quantity! One thriving, healthy plant is better than multiple struggling ones. If adding more, use lucky numbers: 3 (growth), 6 (prosperity), or 8 (wealth). Avoid 4 plants (unlucky in Chinese). Place in different sectors - wealth corner, office, living room - rather than clustering together.
