The money plant (Epipremnum aureum), also known as pothos or devil’s ivy, is one of the most popular houseplants in India. Beyond its easy-care nature, it holds special significance in Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui, believed to attract wealth and positive energy.
Vastu Tips for Money Plant Placement
Southeast Direction: According to Vastu, placing a money plant in the southeast corner of your home attracts financial prosperity. This direction is governed by Lord Ganesha and planet Venus.
Avoid North-East: Placing money plants in the northeast direction is considered inauspicious in Vastu Shastra.
Indoor Placement: Keep money plants inside the house rather than outside for maximum Vastu benefits. Sharp corners and near electronic devices are good spots as they absorb negative energy.
How to Grow Money Plant
In Water: Simply cut a healthy stem with 2-3 nodes and place it in a glass jar with clean water. Change water weekly. Add a few drops of liquid fertilizer monthly.
In Soil: Plant cuttings in well-draining potting mix. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Money plants prefer indirect sunlight but can tolerate low light conditions.
Care Tips
Money plants are incredibly low-maintenance. They tolerate neglect, low light, and irregular watering. However, for lush, healthy growth, provide bright indirect light, water regularly, and wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free.
Common Problems: Yellow leaves usually indicate overwatering. Brown leaf tips suggest underwatering or low humidity. Leggy growth means the plant needs more light.
