Plants not only freshen up your living space but also play a significant role in feng shui, bringing balance and positive energy.

Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or just starting your plant journey, here's a list of the best plants to bring good vibes into your home this festive season.

Nothing says prosperity like the iconic lucky bamboo. Symbolising strength, resilience, and good fortune, this plant is a feng shui favourite. 

The number of stalks you choose can influence the type of luck it brings: three for happiness, five for health, and eight for wealth. Place it in the east or southeast corner of your home to attract positive energy.

Care Tip: Keep the water level high and change it every two weeks to keep the stalks fresh.

Commonly known as the 'money tree', the jade plant is a symbol of growth, wealth, and prosperity.

Its vibrant, coin-shaped leaves are believed to attract financial success, making it perfect for the Chinese New Year season. For the best effect, place it near the entrance of your home or in the southeast corner.

Care Tip: Jade plants love sunlight, so make sure they get plenty of indirect light.

Orchids are more than just beautiful blooms — they're symbols of love, luxury, and refinement. In feng shui, they are also believed to enhance family harmony and personal growth. 

Choose pink or purple orchids for romance and peace, or go for red or yellow to boost wealth and happiness. Place them in the living room or bedroom to bring positive energy.

Care Tip: Water your orchids sparingly, letting the soil dry out between waterings.

The peace lily is known for its elegant white blooms and air-purifying qualities. In feng shui, this plant represents tranquillity and purification, helping to cleanse negative energy from your space. 

It's perfect for high-traffic areas like the hallway or living room, where it can promote calmness and balance.

Care Tip: Peace lilies prefer low light, making them ideal for those tricky corners of your home.

The money plant, also known as the golden pothos, is a symbol of wealth and abundance. Its heart-shaped leaves are believed to attract prosperity, and it's a great option for both beginners and busy individuals as it's incredibly low-maintenance. 

Place it in the southeast corner of your home or office to attract wealth luck.

Care Tip: Let the vines grow long and drape them around your space for a lush, jungle-like vibe.

Mandarin oranges are a must-have during Chinese New Year, and what better way to embrace this tradition than with a small mandarin orange tree? 

The bright fruits are symbols of good luck, prosperity, and joy. Place the tree in the east or southeast area of your home to enhance wealth and happiness.

Care Tip: Keep your mandarin tree in a sunny spot and water it regularly to encourage fruiting.

Bonsai trees bring a touch of elegance and mindfulness to any space. In feng shui, they symbolise harmony, patience, and balance. 

Bonsais are also said to attract good fortune, especially when placed in the living room or home office. Choose varieties like the Chinese elm or juniper for their easy care.

Care Tip: Bonsais thrive on routine, so keep them in a spot with consistent light and temperature.

Chrysanthemums are known for their vibrant blooms and are often associated with long life, joy, and optimism in feng shui. These flowers are perfect for adding a splash of colour to your home during Chinese New Year. 

Opt for golden or yellow chrysanthemums, as they represent wealth and abundance. Place them in the living room or on your dining table to invite good fortune.

Care Tip: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms and keep your plant looking fresh.
