In Feng Shui, both the Money Plant (typically Epipremnum aureum or Pothos) and the Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) are powerful symbols used to attract wealth, prosperity, and positive energy. While they share similar symbolic goals, they are distinct plants with specific placement rules
The Jade Plant (Crassula ovata)
Often called the “Money Tree” or “Friendship Tree,” its thick, succulent, coin-shaped leaves symbolize the accumulation of wealth and steady financial growth.
- Best Placement:
- Southeast (Wealth Corner): This is the primary location to activate financial luck.
- Main Entrance: Placing a healthy jade plant near your front door (facing inward) welcomes opportunities and prosperity into the home.
- Office Desk: Keeping a small jade on your desk can enhance productivity and attract success in business.
- Symbolism: Resilience, longevity, and “slow and steady” wealth accumulation.
The Money Plant (Epipremnum aureum/Pothos)
Commonly known as Golden Pothos or Devil’s Ivy, this vining plant is revered for its heart-shaped leaves and air-purifying abilities.
- Best Placement:
- Southeast: Similar to the jade plant, this aligns with the wealth sector of the Bagua map.
- East: Placing it here promotes health and family harmony.
- Symbolism: Abundance, renewal, and the “climbing” or upward movement of success.
General Rules & Tips for 2025
- Healthy is Key: A wilting or dying plant can signify financial stagnation. Ensure they receive bright, indirect sunlight and avoid overwatering, which causes root rot.
- Amplify with Red: Tying a red ribbon or placing the plant in a red/golden pot is a traditional 2025 practice to “activate” and amplify the fire element’s energy for wealth.
- Avoid These Areas:
- Bathroom: Energy is “flushed away” here, which can lead to financial drain.
- Bedroom: These plants have high “Yang” (active) energy, which may disturb restful sleep.
- Kitchen: The intense heat can clash with the plant’s wood energy, though some modern interpretations allow windowsills if the plant remains healthy.
