Plants don’t just beautify our spaces, purify the air, and bring a touch of nature — they are also believed to carry specific types of energy. Since ancient times, popular wisdom and Feng Shui have regarded certain plants as magnets for money, abundance, and prosperity in the home.
If you’re looking to boost your finances or simply surround yourself with positive energy that invites good fortune, your next “good luck charm” might just grow in a pot!
Discover these five plants that tradition says attract wealth — and learn how to care for them.
🌱 1. Chinese Money Plant (Plectranthus verticillatus)
The name says it all — this plant is the star of the list. With its round, plump leaves that resemble coins, the Plectranthus verticillatus is a symbol of wealth and abundance in many cultures, especially in Asia.
Why does it attract money?
Tradition says its rounded leaves and vigorous growth symbolize the continuous flow of fortune. It’s also very easy to care for and propagate — representing prosperity that multiplies.
Placement tip:
Place it near your home’s entrance or in your office to activate abundance energy. It looks beautiful on shelves or hanging, as its cascading leaves symbolize a “shower of coins.”
🌳 2. Jade Plant (Crassula ovata)
Known as the “money tree” or “lucky plant,” the Jade Plant is another beloved Feng Shui favorite. Its thick, fleshy, deep-green leaves — resembling tiny jade coins or gems — make it a powerful symbol of prosperity.
Why does it attract money?
Its miniature tree shape and coin-like leaves represent wealth that grows and endures. Its long lifespan is also linked to financial stability.
Placement tip:
Keep it in your home’s or office’s wealth area (southeast corner). It also works well near a cash register. Requires bright light and moderate watering.
🌿 3. Money Tree (Pachira aquatica)
This plant is easy to recognize by its braided trunk and hand-shaped leaves. In Eastern culture, it’s one of the strongest symbols of luck and prosperity.
Why does it attract money?
According to tradition, the braided trunks “trap” and protect good fortune, while the five leaves represent the five Feng Shui elements, bringing balance and luck.
Placement tip:
Perfect as an indoor plant. Place it in a bright corner of your living room or office. It prefers indirect light and moderate watering.
