There are several kinds of fortune trees, and the varieties of fortune trees are introduced

The money tree in the general sense refers to the Taiwan money tree, but it has a total of three varieties, namely the Taiwan money tree, the large-leaf money tree and the beautiful money tree.

1. Taiwan Fortune Tree

The origin of the Taiwan Money Tree is not in Taiwan, but in Mexico. Because the money tree is widely planted mainly in Taiwan, it is also called the Taiwan money tree. The money trees currently grown in mainland China are mainly introduced from Taiwan. They have high ornamental value and are suitable for growing indoors. There are usually eight leaflets on its petiole, and "eight" is homophonic with "fa" (meaning fortune), so gradually, it came to be called the money tree.

2. Big Leaf Fortune Tree

The big-leaf money tree is also called the Queensland umbrella tree and is native to Europe. Its main feature is its leaves, which are bright green in color, large in size and good looking. When growing it indoors, keep it in a bright place with sufficient light, so that its leaves can grow more beautifully.

3. Fortune Tree

The money tree is commonly known as Schefflera arborvitae. It is native to tropical regions and belongs to the Araliaceae family. It is widely planted in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Fujian and Hainan in China, and has great economic value. In addition, it also has a high ornamental value and is generally suitable for growing in corridors and aisles of public places such as libraries. It is also suitable for home cultivation on balconies or in courtyards. Its branches have a relatively soft texture and are suitable for making matchsticks or steamers. Its leaves and rhizomes have certain medicinal value and can be used to treat influenza or bruises. In addition, it can absorb harmful substances in the air and purify the air.
