Propagation and Energy Symbolism
The money tree is easy to propagate — even a single leaf can take root. According to legend, to attract wealth, you should secretly obtain a leaf (or buy one), not take it from friends.
Thanks to its round, fleshy leaves, the money tree stores and radiates positive energy. To properly direct these energy flows, placement is key.
The southeast-facing window is ideal, as it is considered the most favorable position for financial well-being.
To enhance its wealth-attracting energy, tie a red silk ribbon to one of its branches, and bury a coin in the pot. On New Year’s Eve, decorate the tree with coins, colorful ribbons, tinsel, and sweets.
Sunlight and Watering Needs
Though it loves bright light, protect the money tree from intense summer sun. Water moderately during summer, and only once every 1–2 months in winter.
Do not spray the leaves — simply wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dust. While humidity is not crucial, regular ventilation is important.
During warmer months, you can move the plant outdoors (e.g., balcony or veranda). Rotate the pot occasionally to ensure even growth.
Never place the money tree near cacti or other spiky plants.
Conclusion: The volatile compounds released by the money tree are beneficial for human health — they improve air quality, reduce physical and mental fatigue, relieve stress, and support overall healing. It’s drought-tolerant and thrives even in low light and low soil moisture. A money tree is not only a symbol of wealth but also a true green healer in your home.
