No matter how big or small your home is? And whether you’re living in a 1 BHK or 4 BHK Flat, the rules mentioned below are so easy to follow that you can follow them at whatever kind of home space you have.

Direction: Do not ever place the money plant in North-East direction. It is said to adversely affect the health and wealth in the home. You should keep it in a South-East direction of the home as this is the direction of Lord Ganesha who is said to bring wealth and prosperity in the home.

Indoors: Money plant gives the maximum benefits when it is planted indoors. Thus, rather than keeping it outside, place it inside. It can be potted in a small pot or a glass bottle and if you’re placing it outside, place it under the roof or covered area so that sunlight does not directly fall on it. This helps attract positive energy and generate wealth.

Water: It requires adequate watering, which is the best thing. It has a great survival power even if you don’t water it for a long time. However, it would be best if you water it at least twice during peak summer time and once a day in winters.

Light: As summers are quite harsh in our country, place your money plant in a partly covered patio. Harsh sunlight rays may damage the leaves, which is not good.

Cut & Prune: You need to cut dry, dead and yellow leaves regularly. Keeping a wilted money plant is considered highly auspicious for the finances of the home. Also, water and prune your money plant on a regular basis, so that stems and leaves don't fall on the floor. Don’t allow anyone else to cut or prune your plant. Always do it yourself or else you’ll be giving away your wealth to another person.

Money plant symbolizes actual money. So the greener your money plant, the more money, wealth, and luck you’ll get into the home. It is easy to maintain and take care so take note and who knows how lucky you’ll be. With unique presence, it breathes positive energy into your home, warding off negativity and opening the doors to opportunity.
