1. Money Plant (Crassula ovata)
The most popular feng shui money plant is Crassula ovata, which is commonly known as the jade plant, friendship tree, lucky plant, or simply money tree. This money plant is a succulent plant which flowers twice a year with small pink or white flowers. Its steady growth is believed to increase wealth and prosperity in the home. Propagate it from its cuttings.
