As long as a money tree thrives in the house, prosperity and happiness should not run out - this is how the meaning of the money tree is popularly seen. The money is even said to multiply if you grow a penny tree indoors. That's reason enough to take good care of your houseplant.
What is the meaning of a money tree?
The meaning of a money tree in popular belief is that it represents prosperity and luck. Its fleshy leaves absorb pollutants from the air and release moisture, improving the indoor climate. In Feng Shui, the money tree promotes prosperity and abundance by being placed in places with a high yin content.
If the money tree collapses, bankruptcy is just around the corner
Some hobby gardeners really panic when the money tree threatens to die. Ultimately, this means that the previous prosperity is over and that money will no longer multiply by itself.
But even without this meaning, you should take good care of your money tree, after all, it is a decorative houseplant.
Without proper care, the money tree will die
You should not water money trees too often, especially not in winter. Fertilization is carried out a maximum of once a month.
The money tree needs a warm and bright location in summer, preferably in the sun. In winter it needs to be kept cooler and drier.
Penny trees ensure a good indoor climate
Even if its meaning as a guarantee of prosperity and increase in money has to be relegated to the realm of superstition, the penny tree definitely has a positive effect in the house.
Money trees are valuable houseplants because they absorb pollutants from the air through their leaves.
In addition, the fleshy leaves in which the succulents store water release moisture into the room air and thus increase the feel-good climate.
Tip
In Feng Shui teachings, the money tree is assigned to the metal transformation phase. It is said to ensure prosperity and abundance. It is placed wherever a particularly high proportion of Yin is desired.
