Feng Shui placement of fortune tree

Feng Shui

Whether they are business people or ordinary people, they raise money trees in the hope of making a lot of money. So before understanding the Feng Shui of placing a money tree, you must first understand the wealth position in your home.

For the Gan house facing northwest and southeast, the wealth position is in the west, northwest, and north; for the Kun house facing southwest and northeast, the wealth position is in the east and southwest; for the Gen house facing northeast and southwest, the wealth position is in the northwest and northeast; for the Kan house facing north and south, the wealth position is in the southwest and north; for the Li house facing south and north, the wealth position is in the northeast and south; for the Zhen house facing east and west, the wealth position is in the east and north; for the Dui house facing west and east, the wealth position is in the south, northwest, and southeast; for the Xun house facing southeast and northwest, the wealth position is in the southwest and southeast.

After knowing the wealth position in your home, you can place the money tree in the corresponding place, commonly known as the Feng Shui position. Placing a money tree in a Feng Shui position will make the whole family more energetic. The Feng Shui location is very suitable for placing bonsai to enhance the energy of the wood element. To keep the bonsai healthy and lush, avoid using dried flowers as they will accumulate negative energy. The money tree is the most popular choice. Some people put the money tree next to the TV, not knowing that they violate the taboo of Feng Shui. The TV belongs to the metal element, and metal overcomes wood, which is not conducive to the energy of the wood element. Therefore, it is not recommended to place it next to a TV.

When a company opens, it usually places money trees on both sides of the company's door to symbolize money rolling in.

Taboos on placement

In Feng Shui, where there are beautiful meanings, there will be corresponding taboos. What are the taboos in placing a money tree?

The wealth position should not be empty: There should be a solid wall behind the wealth position, because it symbolizes having a backer to rely on, ensuring that there are no worries, thus achieving the purpose of storing wind and gathering energy.

The wealth position should not be impacted by sharp corners: Feng Shui is most afraid of sharp corners, so there should be no sharp corners near the wealth position, so as not to affect your wealth. Generally speaking, the closer the sharp corner is to the wealth position, the greater its impact force. Therefore, try to avoid placing furniture and clutter with sharp corners near the wealth position.

The wealth position should not be polluted: it would be a pity if the toilet or bathroom is located in the wealth position. Because not only will this prevent the wealth position from attracting wealth, but it will instead cause the family's wealth to be depleted. Solution: Clean up the wealth position. If the feng shui of your living room is good, you can place the money tree there, as long as it is not facing the beams or the toilet.

Can it be put in the bedroom?

The bedroom is a place for people to sleep and rest, so it is advisable to create a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere. Small and medium-sized, graceful and elegant plants, such as asparagus fern, arrowroot, money tree, and thornless succulent plants, such as jewelweed, squirrel palm, aloe, etc.

The size of the money tree is generally large, so from a maintenance perspective it can be left there, but not for too long. If there are other flowers, they can be placed in turn. Leaving the same plant there for too long at a time will affect its growth.

Origin and meaning of the name

Origin of the name

Why is the money tree called the fortune tree?

The money tree is not a local plant, but was introduced from abroad. It originally had no Chinese name, so of course the Chinese name can only be created by us. In most cases, we will name it according to the pronunciation of its English or Latin literary name.

The internationally accepted scientific name of this tree is Pachira macrocarpa, which is pronounced in Chinese characters as "帕彩拉马柯罗咔吧". Therefore, the first half was read as "发财啦" (get rich) by the Cantonese people who first introduced it based on the homonym, and the second half was read as "玛拉栗" (Malabar chestnut). Therefore, this plant has two Chinese names: one is the auspicious "财树" (Lucky Tree) and the other is the somewhat confusing "玛拉栗" (Malabar chestnut).

Meaning

The money tree is often seen as a symbol of wealth in Guangdong and is often used as a decorative item in offices or homes. Planting a money tree symbolizes prosperous business and huge amounts of money. Money is the material guarantee for people to improve their spiritual realm. Therefore, everyone's struggle for wealth is also a yearning for a better life. The beautiful meaning of the money tree has made it popular in recent years. Flower lovers who like it can buy it and keep it. It can be used for viewing, purify the air, and bring a beautiful symbol, killing three birds with one stone.

Etiquette and taboos

It is advisable to give away a few fortune trees for the opening of a business

In Guangdong, the money tree is the most common plant given as a gift at business opening ceremonies. Although it is not a rule, giving a money tree as a gift symbolizes good wishes to friends who are opening a new business, and of course friends will gladly accept it. In addition to giving money trees as gifts, if a friend opens a store, you can also give him lucky cats, pixiu, etc. In "Love Apartment", didn't Hu Yifei say that Zhang Wei was a Pixiu, which actually meant that he was rich.

So how many money trees should be given as gifts?

Chinese people like good things to come in pairs, so when a friend opens a store, it is usually appropriate to give two money trees as a gift. Or as long as it is an even number, you can give six or eight trees, which are beautiful numbers that are in line with the traditional understanding of the Chinese people. The price of money tree is not very high, you can buy two good pots for 100-200 yuan. Therefore, in order to add joy to your friends, give them an even number of money trees as gifts. Your friends will be very grateful to you!

What occasions are suitable for sending a fortune tree?

Congratulations on moving to a new house: My friend is moving from outside the Fifth Ring Road to inside the Third Ring Road. He doesn’t have to sing Xiao Yueyue’s “Song of the Fifth Ring Road” anymore. Congratulations to him on his new house. The best gift would be to give him two money trees! It has beautiful meaning and is full of spring.

Opening of a new store: A friend quit his job as a civil servant and opened his own store. No matter he opens a flower shop, a cake shop, a hotel or a restaurant, you can give him two money trees, congratulate him on the opening of the new store, wish him a lot of money, and then... let him take you flying!

Is there any taboo in giving away a fortune tree?

A friend of mine moved to a new house and opened a store, and he gave me a money tree as a gift. Is there anything I should pay attention to?

Chinese people pay the most attention to Feng Shui. They always choose an auspicious day for opening a shop, moving house, or getting married. They also pay attention to and observe taboos on the day of the celebration. For example, the numbers 4 and 7 are taboo.

Therefore, when you give a money tree to your friends, just avoid numbers like 1, 4, and 7. If you give your friends two pots of lush money trees, they will definitely be very happy!
