Best direction
Place the money plant in the south-east, the direction ruled by Lord Ganesha and Venus, linked with wealth. Avoid the north-east, which is believed to cause financial strain.
How to grow it
- Grow it indoors in a pot or a glass bottle with water.
- Let the vines climb upwards with a support, as upward growth symbolises rising fortune.
- Do not let the vines touch the floor or hang down sadly.
- Use a green or blue pot or bottle for good energy.
Care
- Remove yellow or dry leaves immediately.
- Change the water every week if grown in water.
- Keep it away from direct harsh sunlight.
A popular belief
There is a common belief that a money plant should not be given away from your home, as it is said to give away your wealth. Many people prefer to receive it as a cutting from a friend.
