Good Luck Plants: Overview

Discover the luck-bringing properties attributed to plants by Feng Shui. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy that aims to attract positive energy by harmonizing the space around you.

Lucky plants come in many varieties and sizes, from lush ficus plants for your living, like the gorgeous Ficus Ginseng, to cute and small lucky plants for your office desk, like succulents and ferns. If you’re a fan of flowering plants, there are also positive energy plants with blooms.

Plants of good luck were believed to bring good fortune and attract wealth in cultures worldwide. These plants’ aesthetic appeal, low-maintenance requirements, and ability to improve indoor air are further reasons to surround yourself with their refreshing greenery.

Whatever the type of luck you want to attract, there’s a good luck plant just for you. Whether it’s the majestic Alocasia 'Grey Dragon' or the cute Rabbit Foot Fern, why not give them the chance to bring some positive vibes your way?

Lucky Plants: Care & Growing Guide

Since a wilting luck plant doesn’t bring good fortune according to Feng Shui, keeping your lucky charm plant lush and thriving is important. Fortunately, many lucky plants for the home are quite easy to care for. Here’s what you need to know to keep your Feng Shui plants for office or home happy and healthy:

Watering, Light, Humidity, and Temperature

Always check your plant’s watering needs; many Feng Shui lucky plants prefer the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings. Use pots with drainage holes to prevent overwatering.

Place lucky plants for indoor settings in a location with the appropriate light levels. Succulents and palms require bright sunlight, but some popular Feng Shui front door plants, like Sansevieria, can tolerate low-light conditions.

If you’ve chosen a good fortune plant that thrives in humid environments, increase indoor air humidity by placing the pot on a pebble tray, grouping plants in one area, or keeping it in the bathroom.

Most lucky plants that grow in indoor settings flourish in temperatures from 65°F to 80°F. Tropical plants particularly need warm temperatures.

Repotting, Soil, and Feeding

Don’t repot your good luck tree immediately. Wait until spring, giving it time to adjust, and then plant in a slightly larger pot.

Check the best soil type for your goodluck plant. Chunky, aerated soil is best for epiphytic plants, while some varieties require rich, nutritious soil. Generally, the soil has to be well-draining to prevent root rot.

Regularly feed your plant with a soluble or slow-release fertilizer. Balanced fertilizers contain equal parts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen-rich fertilizers boost foliage growth, while those rich in phosphorus encourage flowering.

Placement

Feng Shui helps you find the right plant placement for luck, as harmonious spaces attract positive, vital energy (chi). Place money, good luck plants in a southeastern corner, a Peace Lily near the entrance to keep negative energies at bay, and an Olive Tree facing East to welcome positivity in your home. 

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues 

Prune your plants for good luck to maintain their healthy appearance. Trim damaged leaves and spent flowers to encourage new growth. Wipe your plant’s leaves with a soft cloth or shower it to remove dust. Overwatering often leads to root rot, so ensure to test the soil. Check for insects regularly and use insecticide or neem oil to keep pests away. Only vibrant and thriving lucky plants can do the magic of bringing good fortune.
