Chinese Arborvitae
The Chinese Arborvitae is a long-living tree, with a lifespan of up to several hundred years. Thus, if you plant one indoors, you not only have a decorative plant but also a “treasure” to pass down through generations. With its lush green appearance all year round, the Chinese Arborvitae symbolizes wealth, prosperity, and abundance. It is also a resilient plant that can withstand different environments and weather conditions, representing unwavering development and perseverance.
In feng shui, the Chinese Arborvitae signifies longevity and permanence due to its long lifespan. It is ideal for planting near the entrance or placing small potted versions in the living room.
To enhance the beauty of its lush branches and vibrant green leaves, careful maintenance is required. When planting, use well-aerated soil, place it in a bright spot, and avoid overwatering.
Golden Silver Flower
Also known as the Golden Silver Flower, this plant has another rich and noble name: the Gold and Silver Tree. Perhaps that’s why many families plant it at their entrance to create an arch or let it climb walls to “attract wealth and luck.” You can also plant the Golden Silver Flower in small pots and shape it into a bonsai to place indoors or at your workplace.
Aside from its captivating appearance, the Golden Silver Flower emits a subtle, pleasant fragrance and is used as a valuable herb in Eastern medicine. It has detoxifying and cooling properties, often combined with other herbs to treat skin issues, sore throats, and more. You can also pluck the flowers, dry them, and use them to brew a delightful tea.
Easy to cultivate, the Golden Silver Flower only needs a sturdy branch planted in the soil to take root. While it isn’t picky about soil type and is low-maintenance, ensure it receives ample sunlight to promote growth and blooming.
Pomegranate Tree
The Pomegranate Tree is not just a fruit-bearing favorite but also holds auspicious significance in feng shui. Specifically, it represents resilience and stability, while its blooms are believed to ward off evil spirits and invite good fortune and prosperity.
Notably, the large, round, and vibrant red fruits resemble Chinese lanterns, signifying happiness and blessings. Inside each pomegranate are numerous small seeds, symbolizing a happy and harmonious family with many offspring. Therefore, planting a Pomegranate Tree in front of your house not only provides shade and delicious fruit but also attracts wealth and good fortune.
The Pomegranate Tree is easy to cultivate and can bear fruit after just two years of care. As it thrives in sunny conditions, ensure it receives ample sunlight and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and flower/fruit drop.
