As the saying goes, "Rich or not, it can be seen from the trees in the house." This means that whether a family is prosperous and wealthy can be judged by the trees planted in front of the door. Therefore, the older generation often says that it is good to plant some "trees that bring prosperity and wealth" at home. Besides the sayings in Feng Shui, planting trees in front of the door has many benefits. It can reduce soil and water loss and purify the air. Looking at the green leaves often can also relieve eye fatigue.
I have shared with you before about the large trees suitable for planting in the yard, such as cassia, paulownia, and podocarpus macrophyllus, but now more people live in cities without a yard to plant large trees, so they can only choose some trees suitable for potting to plant at home. Below, I will share with you 5 types of "auspicious trees" suitable for home potting, which not only provide a green and healthy environment but also bring you good luck.
I. Lucky Money Tree;
The Lucky Money Tree is the first choice for home potting. First, its name has a good meaning, containing the words "lucky money," which everyone likes. It symbolizes a continuous flow of wealth and is unstoppable. It is suitable for both home and office potting.
Second, it has good ornamental value, as its leaves are green all year round, and with proper care, it can even bloom. Third, there are many plant shapes to choose from. The Lucky Money Tree potting plant has a wide range of options, from large pot plants for the living room, medium-sized pot plants for the entrance or balcony, to small pot plants suitable for the desktop. You can find any size you want. Lastly, its ability to purify the air is superb, as it can absorb harmful gases such as sulfur and benzene, and it can also absorb second-hand smoke, making it a natural air purifier.
II. Happy Tree;
The Happy Tree is also one of the most common trees for home potting. It symbolizes peace, happiness, health, and longevity. The scientific name of the Happy Tree is Radermachera sinica, and its leaves are green all year round. Green symbolizes hope, vitality, and energy, making the Happy Tree a very popular tree.
It prefers a high temperature, humid, and relatively well-lit environment. When potted indoors, it is important to ensure good ventilation. Poor ventilation can easily lead to leaf drop. It is best to place it near a window with relatively good lighting to make the leaves greener.

III. Money Tree;
The Money Tree is a perennial evergreen herb with a rare underground tuber, native to tropical Africa. It prefers a relatively warm environment. The Money Tree is called an "auspicious tree" because of its meaning, as it symbolizes attracting wealth and a continuous flow of money, which is a favorite for many.
The Money Tree is also known as the "Dragon Phoenix Tree." The newly sprouted leaves are of different lengths, with some thick and some thin, creating a unique bipinnate leaf. The elliptical or ovate small leaves on the compound leaves are thick and dark green, giving a vibrant and lush feeling.
The Money Tree has some drought resistance, so be careful not to water too frequently as it can easily cause root rot. In the spring and autumn growing seasons, water only when the soil is completely dry, usually every 7 days. In the summer, water every 3-5 days, and when the temperature exceeds 35°C, growth slows down, and watering should be controlled. In addition to controlling water in the summer, it is also necessary to control water in the winter. When the temperature is low, excessive watering can easily cause frostbite. In dry environments, you can spray water to keep the leaves green and shiny.
IV. Rubber Tree;
The Rubber Tree is a common ornamental plant, symbolizing steadiness, stability, and good fortune. In Feng Shui, it is believed to have the function of accumulating wealth and prosperity. It can be placed in the living room or office. The Rubber Tree is highly adaptable and can even grow in relatively dark corners. If the lighting in your home is poor, the Rubber Tree is the most suitable choice. It can also purify the air, absorbing formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and other substances from the air.
The Rubber Tree's leaves are green and thick, with a red terminal bud, and it does not shed leaves all year round, making it highly ornamental. It is also easy to care for, requiring placement in a well-ventilated area at home with moderate light requirements. Water when the top 3-4 cm of the potting soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do. Watering should be controlled in winter because the Rubber Tree will enter a dormant state due to low temperatures.
