Happy Plants That Bring Luck to Your Home

Lily of the Valley — Star Plant of Spring Day

Lily of the valley is a lucky plant we love giving each other since the era of Charles IX. Proof of this — annual production of 60 million lily of the valley buds in France.

To boost your chances, try to find a lily of the valley with thirteen bells — a more powerful talisman than a four-leaf clover. Is it no coincidence that wedding under lily of the valley marks the 13th anniversary of marriage?

Pilea That Brings Fortune

Originally from China, pilea is also called the money tree: its round and thick leaves have a feature — a long thin stalk located in the center, resembling coins. This similarity means your pilea may bring you fortune! According to rumors, burying a real coin at the base of the plant increases its power tenfold.

Pilea loves sunny spots (but not direct sunlight) and moderate watering (preferably rainwater). Avoid water accumulation in the tray. Propagation is easy, as little pileas (buds) appear quickly when the plant feels good.

Bamboo — Lucky Plant of Excellent Kind

Lucky bamboo or Bamboo of Fortune doesn't hide its purpose: it's considered a lucky plant in China, often given as a gift for success, wealth, happiness and health. Note: the number of stems matters: two stems symbolize love, three — happiness, eight — prosperity and so on.

Lucky bamboo is not a real bamboo: it actually belongs to the dragon tree family (dracaena). Dracaena sanderiana got the name 'lucky bamboo' due to its resemblance to real bamboo stems. Unlike real bamboo, it's very easy to care for indoors: it is often grown in water but also possible with soil.
