How to plant money grass
The strong vitality of money grass makes it popular among many people. Just throw a sprout into water, grassy areas, or barren land, and the plant will quickly grow as long as it has enough light, moisture, and ventilation.
Money grass can be planted in aquatic conditions or in soil. You can grow money grass in a vase or in the ground and water it regularly.
Light: Money grass prefers bright light for good photosynthesis and green growth, bringing wealth. Therefore, you can plant them on your desk, balcony, or windowsill, where there is plenty of light. With sufficient sunlight, the grass leaves will grow longer and larger without becoming elongated or falling over.
Care: You should regularly change the water to allow the plant to grow well, and occasionally provide it with aquatic solution.
Watering: Money grass does not tolerate dry soil, so you need to water it regularly.
Considerations for planting money grass in feng shui
Money grass grows vigorously when planted in the ground. Therefore, when planting, you need to avoid letting the grass spread too quickly if you don’t want to spend effort cleaning up or breeding mosquitoes. It is necessary to determine the planting area. If you are planting as a miniature landscape, plant them in vases or containers with barriers to prevent the grass from spreading too quickly outside the garden, which would require extra effort to clear the grass.
Money grass remains green throughout the year, but its leaves turn yellow when it gets cold. Therefore, when the weather is cold, you should move the plant indoors to keep it warm.
Money grass rarely flowers, and its flowers are not beautiful, so you should cut off the flowers of money grass when they bloom.
You can place a pot of money grass in a fish tank, water tank in front of your house to create a beautiful feng shui for wealth accumulation. You can place a money grass aquatic pot in the Wealth Corner, as the Wealth Corner is a bright area in the house and requires water energy. Therefore, placing a money grass aquatic pot in this position is very auspicious for wealth.
A money grass pot placed on a work desk or in the wealth corner of the house is also beneficial because it combines water and money, attracting good fortune and wealth for the homeowner.
