Plants are amazing for our health and well-being. People all over the globe love money plants, which are Chinese plants. Epipremnum Aureum is the scientific name of money plants. It’s quite a mouthful, isn’t it? We can, however, use the term money plant because of its flat, round leaves, which resemble coins. Money plants have another connection to money according to Feng Shui. We will explain this below!
Here’s a list of ten money plant benefits for your home. Some are based in science and others on symbolism or beliefs such as Feng Shui. Money plants are a popular houseplant in India. It’s not hard to understand why. Learn more about money plants.
The 10 Best Money Plants for Your Home
1. Low Maintenance
The temperature in the area where your money plant is located will determine how much water you need to give it. If it is cold inside your home in winter, watering your money plant only needs to be done every 2 weeks. If you live in a warm environment, or during the summer months, water your money plant more frequently. Around 7-10 days is a good rule of thumb. You will get to know how much water your plant likes. Just be careful not to overwater it as this can cause root problems.
2. Air Purifying
Money plants can help to purify the air, just like all other houseplants. The plants help to remove formaldehyde, benzene and other air pollutants such as xylene, benzene and toluene. You can improve your home’s oxygen flow by doing this. Money plants continue to produce oxygen even at night. Most other plants produce carbon dioxide. Experts are not sure if we can make such statements without further research. NASA’s Clean Air Study, conducted in 1989, found that some indoor plants – including the money plant- could potentially be a natural means of removing pollutants. It may take more research to come to any solid conclusions but we love the idea!
3. Cleans Aquarium Water
Although they are not aquatic, money plants can be easily grown in aquariums or glass bowls. Money plants must have their roots placed below the water level and their leaves above. The plant will die if the leaves are submerged in water. To prevent rotting, it is recommended that you leave a thumb-length of the normal plant outside. Money plants can be grown this way to absorb nitrates in the water. This will improve the water quality, making it a better place for your fish to live. You will still need a filter in order to purify your aquarium’s water. The stems are sometimes nibbled by fish! Overall, however, we believe that money plants are a wonderful addition to your home.
4. Relieves Anxiety, Stress
According to studies, interacting and viewing plants inside on a regular basis can reduce anxiety and stress. In this study, the responses of a group were studied in relation to computer tasks and tasks involving plants. The interaction with plants reduced stress compared to mental work. The plants were found to promote comfort and relaxation in the majority of the subjects.
A second study showed that older adults could benefit from viewing money plants. Monitoring blood pressure and brainwaves indicated lower anxiety scores. They concluded that watching a money plant in a room for five minutes could encourage physiological and psychological relaxation among older adults.
5. Improves Vastu
Vastu says that money plants attract wealth and good fortune. Vastu, a Sanskrit term and practice distinct from Feng shui, is a Sanskrit concept. Vastu, an ancient Indian architecture science, is believed to generate positive energy in a building. Vastu uses nature to create a harmonious environment for living and working. Vastu suggests that money plants be placed in a South East facing direction for blessings.
Money plants should never be allowed to become dry. If you notice any dried leaves, remove them. A dried money tree is a sign of bad luck. Money plants don’t need much light, so they should be kept inside. Money plants planted outdoors where they can dry out are said to cause financial scarcity. While this benefit is not scientifically proven, we would love to believe it!
6. Brings Prosperity Into The Household- Feng Shui
Vastu and Feng Shui! Many people follow these principles, whether they believe in them or not. Money trees can attract wealth and stability to your home, according to Feng Shui. Money plants are believed to encourage career success and financial prosperity by placing them in the workplace. Place it on your desk to remind yourself about the wealth that you’re bringing in. This should make you smile at work.
You can choose where to place the “wealth-corner” in your home. Imagine your house covered with a 3-by-3-grid. This will help you determine the “wealth corner”. Standing at the front door, facing the house, find the farthest corner on the left. This is your wealth corner. This method can be used to locate the wealth corner of your office or bedroom. Stand at the entrance and look inwards to find the far-left corner. Show us the money now!
7. Anti-radiator?
All plants absorb radiation. And so do our bodies! Some people believe that keeping money plants near electronic devices such as WiFi routers or computers will allow them to absorb the harmful radiations released by these appliances. Money plants are not proven to protect against the radiation that is released by such devices.
According to Feng Shui rules, money plants are best placed near electronic appliances. It’s a question of whether or not you believe in Feng Shui and its principles. We love the concept! We do know that having plants around the house can help to reduce stress, which is caused by our tech-driven lifestyles. We think you should try it.
