Money Plant
The money plant or Crassula ovata is the most well-known of all Feng Shui plants. It looks simple, and if you didn’t know it was a Feng Shui plant, you probably wouldn’t even notice it. It is said that the money plant is useful in harmonizing energies around a person. It breaks up conflict and allows confluences of energies to coexist without harming one another. It is a well-rooted and robust plant that also encourages personal growth. Place it indoors and expose it to bright light (but not direct heat of the sun).

The money plant can be watered once a week, twice a week, or even less. It is not a sensitive plant at all.

As he was walking, he encountered this plant and brought it home. He tended to the plant, and soon enough, he was able to multiply his plants by collecting the seeds. His fortune grew from the money tree. The money tree loves semi-shaded areas.
