Remember, the Money gua (purple) is the back left corner of the space when you are standing at the entrance facing in. |
Plants are generally just awesome because they are alive and therefore will generate beneficial chi (which loosely translates to "life force"). But plants also clean the air, emit oxygen, and reduce the effects of EMFs. Plus they are pretty, and they bring healing nature indoors, into your space.
Feng Shui 101: There are two plants that are known to be great for the Money gua.
The Money Tree (duh) & Lucky Bamboo.

This is the Money Tree. It's scientific name is Pachira aquatica. It can come small (say 8 inches high and be able to sit on an end table, like you see here), or they can get quite large, up to three feet or more! The trunks are usually braided, and the leaves are a lovely, shiny green that sprout very easily and, well, abundantly.

Wood is the element for the Money gua, and these plants are perfect symbols for how you would like your Money to be: growing with little effort, providing pleasure and breathing room, and easy to tend to.
Happy plant-buying! Cha-ching!
