While there are many different feng shui plants that attract wealth and abundance, the most well known feng shui money tree is the Pachira Aquatica.
The Pachira Aquatica is a tree with a braided trunk and stems with 5 leaves.
They are extremely popular as indoor plants because they require little maintenance and only bright, indirect light.
Let’s discuss how to use the feng shui money tree to increase wealth and abundance in your life!
Feng Shui Money Tree Meaning
For feng shui, the money tree is thought to trap fortune in its braided trunk.
And of course, as with all things feng shui, the number of trunks can have a meaning of its own!
Most money trees have at least 3 braided trunks, but larger ones can have 5 or even 8 braids.
- 3 braided trunks represent: happiness, long life, and good health
- 5 braided trunks represent: the five elements and good luck in all areas of your life
- 8 braided trunks: the luckiest and most auspicious number, infinite abundance and wealth. 8 braided trunks are also known as the golden cage design, which traps and grows wealth!
Most feng shui money tree stems have 5 leaves, which represent the 5 elements.
But sometimes your money tree might grow a branch with 7 leaves, which is considered even luckier!
If you see 7 leaves on your money tree, even more good fortune and luck are coming your way!
The Money Tree’s Spiritual Meaning
The money tree’s spiritual meaning comes from Chinese legend.
The story says that a man prayed for abundance and found a mysterious tree growing in his field.
He took it home and grew many more plants from the seeds of the tree.
He was then able to sell them and grow his wealth and abundance.
The money tree is often given as a gift on Chinese New Year to increase prosperity and blessings.
It’s also often given as a gift to new business owners to celebrate their business and increase good fortune!

Some things to consider when deciding where to place your feng shui money tree:
- Will the plant be happy there?
- Will it get enough sunlight? If not, can you use a grow light in that space?
- How is the humidity?
- Is it in a place where your family gathers and will enjoy it?
Money trees are living, breathing plants that need care.
Even though they are extremely low maintenance, all plants require some interaction!
Keeping your money tree in a spare bedroom that you barely use isn’t good for the plant and it isn’t good for feng shui either!
Everything in your home needs attention and the more you interact with it, the more it will thrive.
Chi needs to circulate, and of course, there are so many studies that show plants like to be talked to or even have music played for them!
Keeping your money plant somewhere you will enjoy it will ensure that your plant is healthy and that your financial success keeps growing and growing!
