Money Tree
The Money Tree is a familiar plant to the people of Vietnam. It is also known as the Lucky Bamboo or Green Jade plant. With its straight stem and lush green leaves, it resembles a small bamboo shoot, symbolizing the homeowner’s upward-striving spirit. Money Trees are often grown in large clumps, and their white roots are particularly eye-catching when grown in water.
In feng shui, the Money Tree can be placed on altars dedicated to Buddha, as well as to the God of Wealth and Ancestors. According to feng shui principles, displaying three branches on the altar represents a wish for happiness, five for health, eight for wealth, and nine for good fortune. This is believed to bring luck and prosperity to the family.
