What is a jade plant in feng shui?
A jade plant, also known as a jade stone plant or a money tree, is scientifically named Crassula ovata. It is a type of plant native to South Africa and symbolizes wealth, luck, and prosperity.
The jade plant is a succulent plant with an average height of about 40-50cm. It has multiple branches on its stem. The stem of the plant is cylindrical and when young, it is light green in color. As it matures, it gradually turns brown.

The leaves of the jade plant are thick and fleshy, with a dark green color. They grow symmetrically opposite each other on the stem. As the leaves age, they turn light green, then yellow or red, and eventually fall off.
The flowers of the jade plant are small clusters that bloom in the shape of a 5-petaled star. They can be light pink or white in color. The flowers grow at the top of the branches, with long stems and a subtle fragrance.
Which zodiac signs are compatible with a jade plant?
Due to its green color, the jade plant represents the Wood element in feng shui. Therefore, people with the following zodiac signs should own a jade plant and place it at the cashier’s counter, money counting machine, or at the entrance of a store to attract wealth and ensure smooth business:
Nham Ngo (1942, 2002)
Ky Hoi (1959)
Mau Thin (1988)
Quy Mui (1943, 2003)
Nham Ty (1972)
Ky Ty (1989)
Canh Dan (1950, 2010)
Quy Suu (1973)
The jade plant represents the Wood element in feng shui.
In addition, according to the Five Elements theory, the Fire element is nourishing to the Wood element, so people with the following zodiac signs can also have a jade plant in their home to attract wealth and prosperity:
Binh Dan (1986)
Dinh Mao (1987)
Giap Tuat (1994)
At Hoi (1995)
Furthermore, those with the Wood element as their Chinese zodiac sign should avoid choosing a white pot for their jade plant. The color white belongs to the Metal element, which counters the Wood element and may bring unfortunate circumstances.
Where should a jade plant be placed in a home?
A jade plant is a shade-loving plant, so it can be placed indoors, in office spaces, restaurants, or eateries, to promote healthy growth.
Feng shui experts recommend placing a jade plant in the East, Southeast, West, or Northwest direction, as these directions are compatible with the Wood and Fire elements.
Common suggestions for placing a jade plant include:
Placing the plant in the East direction to harmonize the family, promote good health, and initiate educational projects and endeavors.
Placing the jade plant in the Southeast direction to attract luck and wealth. This direction is believed to bring financial prosperity, career advancements, and educational opportunities.
Placing the jade plant in the West direction to encourage creativity. The plant is particularly favorable for those with the Wood element, as the green color of the leaves, combined with the red edges (belonging to the Fire element), enhances intellectual abilities and career success.
Placing the jade plant in the Northwest direction to attract good luck and establish beneficial connections.
However, it is advised not to place a jade plant in the bedroom or bathroom.
