5 lucky interior plants

1. Silver tree

The silver tree (also known as Pachira plant) is probably one of the most famous indoor plants in Feng Shui. We think that it attracts prosperity, wealth, good luck and positive energy - not only in the space surrounding it but also to its owner, explains Angela Higgins , main designer and owner of Nourished house and member of the International Feng Shui Guild.

According to Chinese legend, it is believed that a Pachira factory once brought a large fortune to a desperate farmer, reveals Hathaway.

But do not let the reputation of the silver tree put you pressure to put this plant in your home if it is not your style: Higgins says that it is a common error of Feng Shui. "Feng Shui is to surround yourself with things you love that resonates with you, so make sure that when you choose plants, you choose, you can take care of your lifestyle and your home."

2. Jade plant

The jade plant is sometimes called silver plant due to its room -shaped leaves. In fact, we think that these very leaves are what symbolizes good luck and fortune.

Higgins explains that, according to Feng Shui, any plant with soft and rounded leaves will be lucky by promoting soft and nourishing energy at home.

On the other hand, sharp plants like cacti are considered unlucky because they "drain the energy" of your environment, says interior decorator AUDREY SCHECK .

Jade plants tend to be common cleaning slots and new commercial gifts due to the conviction that they will bring wealth and good luck, notes Hathaway.

"It encourages personal growth and positive energy," said Higgins. Hathaway adds that the gracefully curved form of Lucky Bamboo "encourages the transparent flow of good energy of Feng Shui Chi".

Another reason why this plant is traditionally used in Feng Shui is that its large thin stems complete the wooden decoration - and wooden elements are one of the five main elements of Feng Shui, supposed to bring vitality, Growth, kindness and flexibility in your home, says Higgins.

4. Snake plant

Whether you call it a snake plant or its nickname "my mother-in-law", this inside plant is unlucky. But its vertical leaves symbolize the ascending growth of positive energy and prosperity in your home, explains Scheck.

In addition, the snake plant purifies air in your home, which "promotes good oxygen levels, clean air and energy, which is the basis of positive feng shui for well-being "Explains Higgins.

This is why you want to make sure that any plant you bring to your home is "vibrant, lush and healthy plants [like] dead or dying are bad for Feng Shui", adds Higgins.
