Money Plant (Crassula Ovata)
According to Feng Shui, specific types of jade plants from the genus Crassula can help bring prosperity and good fortune. Crassula ovata, a species of jade plant, is also known as the money plant, dollar plant, cauliflower-ears, or money tree. The coin-shaped leaves of this Feng Shui plant are said to represent wealth. Despite its name, the Crassula ovata Feng Shui plant should not be confused with the true money tree, Pachira aquatica.
Succulents with tree-like stems, smooth branches, and thick fleshy leaves are known as jade plants. The succulent leaves are jade green, with red or yellow edges on some cultivars. These ovate-shaped leaves can reach lengths of 1" to 3.5" (3 - 9 cm) and widths of 1.5" (4 cm).
If you're lucky, money plants will bloom in the winter. Small pink or white star-shaped flowers with a sweet scent appear. When the conditions are favorable, jade plants will usually bloom during the winter months. This usually occurs when the nights become longer, the weather becomes colder, and the plant is not watered for a few weeks. Money plants can grow up to 8 feet (2.5 meters) tall and resemble a large shrub-like tree in some cases. Money plants grown indoors, on the other hand, rarely reach these heights.
Aside from the possibility of increasing your fortunes, one of the reasons to keep jade plants in the home is their hardiness. Jade plants, like many succulents, do not require much care or maintenance. According to some studies, jade plants can live for up to 100 years.
Money plants are commonly given as gifts to new business owners or placed in offices to attract success or wealth. These money plants are also low-maintenance houseplants that can contribute to a natural, well-balanced indoor environment. It is among the best Feng Shui plants to attract prosperity
