The "money tree," also known as the jade plant (Crassula ovata), is more than just an aesthetic addition to the home. According to feng shui, this plant is said to bring positive energy, prosperity and even business success. But can it really affect our financial situation? Let's delve into the symbolism and care of this mysterious plant.
The money tree – the jade plant originates from southern Africa and has spread throughout the world over the centuries. It is characterized by its fleshy, oval leaves that resemble small coins. It is because of this shape that it should become a symbol of wealth and success. Feng shui experts believe that its presence in a home or office is the key to attracting positive energy.
Symbolism in feng shui
In feng shui, plants are used to improve the energy of a room. The "money tree" is said to be particularly effective in attracting abundance. Placed in the right location, for example, in the southeast part of the home, it is said to improve the financial situation and increase the chances of success. The southeastern part is associated with wealth and prosperity. This plant is also said to reduce stress and improve relationships, as it brings a sense of peace and stability to the room.
Care and placement
The "money tree" is extremely undemanding in care. It likes moderate sunlight, so the ideal place for the plant is near the window. Water it sparingly; water it once a week in summer and less often in winter. It is important that the soil dries completely between waterings, as excessive watering can cause root rot.
According to feng shui, the key is where we place the plant. If placed on the right side of the hallway or near the front door, it should attract opportunities and abundance to the home. In the office, it is best to place it on the desk, as it can stimulate creativity and success.
Legend and tradition
According to an old Chinese legend, a "money tree" appeared to a poor man as a symbol of hope and opportunity. Over time, this story has become an important part of Chinese culture and feng shui, where the plant represents more than just decoration – it has become a talisman for attracting wealth.
