Ready to start the year on a positive note? Houseplants are not only a refreshing addition to any home but many are also believed to attract good fortune. Here are five houseplants that symbolize luck and prosperity, along with expert care tips.
The Money Tree (Pachira Aquatica) is a favorite for those looking to bring wealth and positive energy into their space. Chad Massura of Rosy Soil notes how this plant thrives in bright, indirect light and needs watering when the top inch of soil is dry. For a braided Money Tree, keep braiding as it grows to maintain its shape.
The Pilea, also known as the Chinese Money Plant, is cherished for its coin-like leaves symbolizing prosperity. It thrives in bright indirect light and requires consistent moisture, but use rain, distilled, or filtered water to avoid sensitivity to fluorides.
Lucky Bamboo, a plant associated with Feng Shui, is often grown in water and symbolizes harmony and prosperity. Keep Lucky Bamboo in bright indirect light and immerse the roots in fresh water, changing it weekly to prevent buildup from municipal water.
The Jade Plant represents growth and is a popular housewarming gift. It flourishes in bright light and a well-draining potting mix made for cacti. Feed your Jade every two weeks for vigorous growth.
Lastly, the Peace Lily is a peaceful symbol that also embodies purity and prosperity. It enjoys indirect light and soil that is kept slightly moist.
With these beautiful plants, you can invite beauty and good vibes into your home as you step into the New Year.
