In our daily life, many people like to plant some plants with auspicious meanings at home, hoping that they will bring good luck and wealth. There is a folk saying: "Three trees bloom, but even if you are not rich", it refers to three types of trees that are believed to bring good luck and wealth.
So what are these three kinds of trees? They are the Golden Branch, the Fortune Tree, and the Fortune Bamboo. Today, we're going to take a closer look at these three types of trees and how to maintain them.
1. Golden branches and jade leaves
As the name suggests, it is regarded as a symbol of wealth and good fortune because of the bright shape and color of its leaves. In traditional Chinese culture, golden branches and jade leaves are often used to decorate the courtyards of palatial palaces and wealthy families.
In the process of caring for the golden branches, it is best to place them in a sunny place, such as a south-facing window sill. Especially during the growing season, it needs to be exposed to at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day to ensure normal growth and full color of the leaves. The need for fertilizer is not high, but in order to promote growth, a thin succulent special fertilizer can be applied once a month in spring and autumn. In the summer heat, avoid fertilizing to avoid burning the roots.
2. Fortune tree
The Fortune Tree, with its lush leaves and lush greenery, symbolizes vitality and wealth, and is considered by many to be a "fortune tree". It is not only beautiful, but also has a strong air purification ability, and is one of the common green plants in homes and offices.
The fortune tree likes light but is not tolerant of direct sunlight. During daily maintenance, it should be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light to avoid leaf burns caused by strong direct light. If the light in the room is low, you can move the fortune tree to the sun for a brief light replenishment at regular intervals.
The fortune tree prefers a moist environment, but is equally afraid of waterlogging. When watering, the soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season, and the air humidity should be kept high, which can be increased by spraying. In winter, the amount of watering should be appropriately reduced, and the soil should be kept slightly dry.
3. Fugui bamboo
Fugui bamboo is considered to be a plant that symbolizes auspiciousness and wealth because of its rising form and evergreen characteristics in all seasons. Fugui bamboo is often placed in the home or office to decorate and add vitality.
Fugui bamboo is highly adaptable and can be cultivated in soil and hydroponics. During hydroponics, it is necessary to keep the water quality clean, change the water once a week, and increase the frequency of water change appropriately when the temperature is high in summer. It is best to keep the water level at 1/3 to 1/2 of the roots to avoid root rot. When planting soil, choose well-drained soil and wait for the soil surface to dry before watering each time.
Fugui bamboo does not have high light requirements and is suitable for placing in scattered light or bright indoor environments. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the leaves from turning yellow. In low-light environments, light can be supplemented with artificial light sources, but not excessively.
Fugui bamboo does not need to be fertilized frequently, but in order to promote growth, liquid fertilizer can be applied every two months. Be careful not to have too high a fertilizer concentration to avoid burning the roots. Fertilization should be stopped in winter, the environment should be kept warm, and low temperature frost damage should be avoided.
Through the above introduction, I believe you have a deeper understanding of the three plants that symbolize wealth and good luck, such as the golden branch and jade leaf, the fortune tree and the rich bamboo. Both in terms of ornamental value and meaning, they are very suitable plants to grow at home. If you don't already have these three trees at home, you might as well try to raise them, and they might really bring you good luck and wealth!
