In feng shui, the money tree and the altar of the Wealth God are considered elements that help homeowners attract wealth and good fortune. Many people grow money trees in their homes with the desire to attract wealth and prosperity. This tree originated from America and can thrive in harsh environmental conditions, symbolizing growth and luck. Typically, each money tree pot has 3-5 grafted plants and large fruits around the trunk to signify abundant wealth. Underneath the trunk is a layer of lucky grass covering the soil surface to represent the combination of luck, prosperity, and peace.
Many people believe that placing the money tree near the Wealth God area will increase wealth: However, this is considered a taboo in feng shui. Worshiping the Wealth God is a belief of many people to have a divine guardian of wealth to manage their fortunes and bring prosperity.
Both the money tree and the Wealth God have the same “function,” so placing the money tree in the Wealth God area does not enhance the attraction of wealth as many people think, but rather clashes with feng shui. Placing the money tree in this position can cause the tree to wither over time, and moreover, it is considered a taboo in worship, similar to having a temple dedicated to two Gods of Wealth. Therefore, it is advised to avoid placing the money tree directly opposite the Wealth God or in the Wealth God area.
In addition, there are some positions that should not be used to place the money tree.
Placing the money tree under a chandelier: When the money tree stands under a chandelier, the energy of attracting wealth will be depleted, weakening its ability to receive wealth. This can affect the finances of the family and increase financial expenses.
Placing it near the bathroom: Placing the money tree near the bathroom is also considered a taboo because from a reproductive perspective, the money tree is a sun-loving plant that dislikes dampness. If the money tree is placed near the bathroom for an extended period, the humid environment will not benefit its growth. Additionally, placing the money tree near the bathroom can cause a clash between the bathroom’s yin and the tree’s yang energy. This creates imbalanced energy flow within the house, affecting the homeowner’s fortune.
Good positions to place the money tree:
To fully utilize the feng shui value of the money tree to attract positive energy, you should place it on the guest table, reception desk, work desk, entrance hall, next to a sunny window, etc.
The money tree is associated with the Wood element. Therefore, the best positions for the money tree are the Southeast, South, and the corners in the East as they have the most favorable feng shui for placing the money tree.
Placing it at the entrance: The entrance of the house is an important position in feng shui to attract wealth. Therefore, placing the money tree at this position can attract wealth and prevent negative energy and impurities from entering the room, balancing the feng shui in the room. You can place money trees on both sides of the entrance to slow down the flow of energy, creating a gentle atmosphere and a more inviting space.
Placing it in the living room: The living room is considered the gathering place of the family’s wealth and the place to attract wealth and luck. Therefore, placing the money tree in the living room not only makes the space more lively but also helps the house attract more wealth and good luck.
Placing it in the workspace: Placing the money tree in the office or workspace can bring prosperity and abundant financial resources. However, regardless of where the money tree is placed, it is important to remember that it is a plant that requires light.
