Leaf flowers, although they rarely bloom, are fresh and beautiful, making the entire environment clean and reflecting a natural sense of beauty. For example, the following five types are very popular leaf flowers this year, with both large and small leaves, each bringing luck and attracting wealth. Remember to keep one pot at home.
First, the Rubber Plant
The leaves of the rubber plant are wide and thick, evergreen, and highly glossy, making it a plant with high ornamental value. It is very common for foliage appreciation and is suitable for placement in the living room and balcony, highlighting its strong vitality. Its meaning is auspicious, representing opportunities and attracting wealth and good fortune.
The cultivation method of the rubber plant is simple, grows rapidly, and requires a lot of water and nutrients. During the growing seasons of autumn and spring, ensure sufficient water and fertilization, as well as plenty of sunshine, to keep it thriving.
Second, the Money String Plant
The money string plant is the brightest among succulents, with full, plump, and very cute leaves. They come in strings like coins, symbolizing wealth and are suitable for placement on office desks or study tables, bringing more fortune.
The money string plant should grow in well-ventilated sandy soil, with a mature liquid fertilizer applied once a month during the growing season, plenty of sunshine, and not to miss the autumn sunlight, which can quickly color its leaves and turn them into jelly-like flesh, very colorful, and super beautiful.
Third, the Duckbill Plant
The duckbill plant is a common ornamental flower at home, famous for absorbing formaldehyde and nicotine. Placed in the living room, it looks vigorous, like a small forest, naturally fresh. It is also known as the small money tree, which can attract wealth and change luck.
To care for the duckbill plant, water it every 5 to 7 days, ensure the soil is loose and breathable, regularly prune the basal leaves to increase ventilation and light penetration, and also do topping to promote branching and make the shape full. Red decorations can be added to highlight the festive atmosphere.
Fourth, the Bird-of-Paradise
Besides the rubber plant, the bird-of-paradise is another large-leaf ornamental flower with wide leaves, rapid growth, strong invasive ability, and a significant presence, suitable for decorating the living room and balcony, exuding a high-end feel. The bird-of-paradise is also called the天堂鸟 (Paradise Bird) because its flowers look like small birds, vivid and symbolic of freedom, and can also bring fortune and protect the home.
The bird-of-paradise should be placed in a sunny location and ensure sufficient water. During hot weather, spray water on the leaves frequently. Fertilizer can be used during the growing seasons of spring and autumn, applying twice a month for two consecutive months to ensure a healthy state.
Fifth, the Cinnabar Root
The cinnabar root is native to China and Japan, also known as the富贵果 (Fortune Fruit), 富贵籽 (Fortune Seed), and 黄金万两 (Ten Thousand Gold Ingots), which sound very luxurious. It represents celebration and auspiciousness and is very suitable as a New Year's flower during the Spring Festival, placed in the living room or balcony, bringing a festive and lively atmosphere, fortune, and auspiciousness.
Different from the previous four, this type of potted plant is also the most popular this year and can produce red fruits, like red gems, crystal clear, plump, and very tempting, with a long-lasting fruiting period and high ornamental value. Its shape is full, with small and slender leaves, setting off the bright fruits. It is best to place it on a sunny balcony, using fertile and well-drained sandy soil and adding a small amount of bone meal to increase fertility.
