Regardless of the time and economic situation in the country, people try to follow ancient signs to increase income. A simple and effective way today is to purchase the Crassula plant. Let's figure out how to plant a money tree correctly so that you always have money in your pocket.
How to choose the right planting material
The second name of an interesting and unusual plant is Crassula or Crassula. The money tree is called so because the leaves resemble coins in shape. The leaf part contains the maximum amount of useful vitamins and other substances.
For planting, you need to use a 5 cm long branch. It is advisable to cut a young shoot from the mother tree. Be sure to sprinkle the cut area with ash. You cannot purchase a grown money tree in specialized stores or from hand. You can ask good friends for a scion.
It is important that the family where the ornamental tree grows has a loving, trusting relationship. An important aspect is the financial condition of the family. You shouldn't take sprout from people living paycheck to paycheck. The sprout will bring unfavorable energy into your home.
To plant a money tree with a money plot, you need to purchase new planting equipment and land, and how to choose and prepare it correctly, read below.
Living money talisman
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, a unique tree grows in nature that attracts wealth and good luck and can completely change the life of its owner - make him rich and successful. It is called "Crassula tree" or "Crassula". This plant is flexible and extremely unpretentious, so growing it is a pleasure.
How did it happen that the crassula began to be considered a money tree? Perhaps for the reason that its original dense leaves look like coins. Be that as it may, according to Feng Shui, this tree is a must-have in your home, because it establishes a connection with the egregor of wealth and prosperity. If you want to establish a connection with this energy structure, you need to follow all the rules for growing a money tree.
Planting a cutting
The propagation process of an ornamental plant goes through 2 methods - cuttings or leaf shoots. They need to be carefully separated from the plant and dried for 2 days. You can use the old effective method: place the cuttings in a container with clean water. Leave for 2-3 weeks for the plant to take root.
To plant a money tree according to Feng Shui you need:
- Place the shoot cut from the mother plant in a glass of clean water. Leave for 2-3 weeks for rooting. Temperature: room temperature.
- Place a small layer of drainage on the bottom of the prepared planting container. Then 3 coins of equal value with the coat of arms facing up. At this moment, be sure to say the following words: “Let the tree grow in my house and bring wealth. I’ll hide the coin in some raw earth and bring a lot of income into the house. Rich people will give generous gifts, I will no longer feel concerned about money. Let it be so commanded, done three times, and locked. Amen, amen, amen."
- While speaking the words, you need to fill the container with nutritious soil.
- The planting depth of the rooted cutting is 40–60 mm. Level the area around, but do not compact the soil.
- The final step is abundant watering. If necessary, add nutrient soil, as the soil may lose volume.
The planted money tree is placed in the south-eastern part of the room. As Feng Shui says, it is in this direction that the zone responsible for financial well-being is located.
Chinese coins tied with red thread are hung on branches. It is important that the plant is strong. Of course, there is no need to stir the coins onto the handle. In this case, it is enough to place a Chinese frog next to it with money in its mouth.
During the period of rapid tree development, watering is recommended twice a week. First of all, you need to check the condition of the ground. The liquid is used clean, previously kept at room temperature for 24 hours. During the specified time, rusty residues from pipes and impurities in the water will settle to the bottom of the container. Additionally, it will have time to warm up to the optimal temperature.
In winter, the procedure is carried out once a month. By overwatering, the process of rotting of the root system begins. Most experienced flower growers prefer to spray the flower with a spray bottle in winter. You can remove dust from the leaves with a soft, damp cloth.
Gold or silver can be used to purify water. A liquid infused with precious metals is additionally charged with energy, attracting even more success and prosperity to the family.
Each time, when watering a money tree, it is recommended to say the words: “For you, my tree will grow, and for me, it will bloom in wealth. Amen".
It is important not only to water and feed the fat woman, but also to talk to her regularly. Express gratitude to her for her wealth, do not forget to talk about plans for the near future, dreams, desires. Only the owner should care for and water the money tree, with whom a strong connection is subsequently created.
As the tree grows, your income increases. For those who do not have a money tree in their family, an alternative can be a souvenir tree made from scrap materials. It is also necessary to hang Chinese coins on it, which attract success.
Soil preparation
In nature, Crassula grows on soils where sand predominates. It is loose and free-flowing. For planting indoor plants, ready-made soil suitable for cacti and other types of succulent plants is suitable.
The soil can be prepared at home. In a separate capacious container you need to combine (the quantity is indicated for clarity of the proportional relationship):
- 600 grams of medium-grained sand;
- 400 grams of peat;
- 400 grams of leafy soil.
To ensure normal air permeability, it is necessary to add a baking powder in the form of vermiculite or perlite to the soil. The plant does not tolerate compacted soil. Moisture stagnates in it, which leads to the death of the plant. It is important to regularly loosen the soil, enriching it with oxygen and not allowing excess liquid to stagnate.
Choosing a pot
The container for planting the cuttings must be chosen correctly and carefully. The plant is quite active in growth. The tree's aerial part quickly increases. With the rapid growth of a tree, a heavy crown appears on the plant, which is poorly supported by the root system due to weakness and underdevelopment.
Therefore, it is recommended to purchase heavy, deep and capacious flower pots made of clay or ceramics.
It is impossible to replant a tree often, especially for mature and heavily grown specimens.
It is also considered equally important to choose a pot not only by material, but also by color. According to Eastern beliefs, it is recommended to purchase a container for planting in a red or green shade. The latter is considered the color of development. Red indicates determination and increased prosperity.
Preparing the container and soil for planting
Once all types of soil have been combined, they need to be thoroughly mixed. The mixture should be homogeneous. The pot must be washed with laundry soap, doused with additional boiling water to avoid infection, and dried.
Further actions directly depend on what method the plant will be planted: with the presence of a root system or using the cutting method. The last method is inconvenient because it does not allow determining the formation of the root system. For improved rooting of cuttings, it is necessary to use nutritious soil.
You can speed up the process if you lubricate them with a stimulating liquid. The cutting without a root system must be kept under plastic film for 2 weeks, and watering is carried out through a tray.
When is the best time to plant a money tree?
Experienced gardeners recommend planting the plant in spring and summer. Winter and autumn are not suitable for working with decorative wood.
All about the living money talisman
In all the diversity of the plant world, there is one small tree that has an impact on cash flows. This is what can change your life financially. Meet the Tree Crassula, also known as Cotyledon, Bear's Ear, Crassula or Money Tree.
Crassula. An unpretentious plant, with an easy-going character and easy care. Small in size, with original leaves, small, fleshy, shaped like coins. But simply placing a purchased plant on a window is not suitable. In order for the luck of the money tree to be revealed to the owner, it is necessary to learn more about Crassula.
How to plant a money tree according to Feng Shui so that it attracts wealth:
How to plant a living talisman
Feng Shui recommends not buying a ready-made plant (it cannot be bought for money at all). It is necessary for the money tree to absorb your energy so that it feels the sincere care of the owner. According to the rules of Feng Shui, you need to plant the Crassula yourself! Before planting, you need to talk to the tree and ask for protection and welfare, and also promise that you will always take care of it, and in the future you should always talk to the tree.
- Break off a leaf or stalk from an adult tree (it would be ideal if you do this secretly, without asking permission).
- It is believed that a gifted money tree will not bring good luck to either its new owner or the donor.
- Before planting the cuttings of a money talisman in the ground, keep the cutting in a glass of water for several days (so that it takes root).
- Have a pot ready in advance. It should be wide and shallow. According to Feng Shui rules, the color of money is the suit of metal and earth. The whole range of brown and black. Red or burgundy. Silver or gold.
- It must be planted (like all plants) on the waxing moon. Transplant day is Wednesday.
Crown formation and feeding
In order for the money tree to grow and develop well, it is important to know how to form a crown. To do this, two popular methods are used: pruning or pinching. The latter is used for young specimens; for older trees, the first method is used.
Let's look at the step-by-step steps for pinching and forming a beautiful tree:
- As it grows, the money tree will shed weak leaves. They must be removed, otherwise they will take root and instead of one powerful plant there will be several weak ones.
- As soon as 8 leaves appear on the young tree, the bud between them is carefully pinched off.
The procedure is repeated several times as necessary. As soon as a bud appears between the paired leaves, it is carefully removed again. As a result of this treatment, a full-fledged trunk is formed in the Crassula. If you do not remove new buds, then instead of a powerful tree you will end up with a small bush.
Pruning is used if the trunk has hardened. For this process, it is recommended to use sharp scissors or pruners. Upon completion of the process, the cut sites are treated with garden varnish for rapid wound healing. Trimming excess shoots is quite a troublesome, but effective task, unlike the method described above.
After the procedure, be sure to water and fertilize. Feeding is carried out up to 2 times a day per month.
How to care for Crassula at home
- The plant needs to be watered twice a week in the evenings to prevent the soil from cracking. An abundance of moisture will lead to rotting of the tree, and then you will need to have time to break off a branch to grow a new specimen. In winter, money trees are watered extremely rarely.
- To water the fat plant, you can charge the water using Feng Shui. Pour the liquid into a jug and put 10 silver coins in it. After 3-4 days this water can be used.
- Dark rooms are not suitable for Crassula, but direct sunlight is also harmful because it dries out the leaves and they slowly wither. Try to protect the tree from extreme cold and drafts. The fat woman also does not like temperature changes in the summer.
- Don't forget to water the plant with a spray bottle. This not only helps the tree to withstand heat or dry winter air, but also removes the layer of dust that interferes with financial feng shui energy. It is also useful to periodically ventilate the room with such a talisman.
- Talk to the money tree and give it only a good mood. If you are in a bad mood, you should not communicate with a fat woman, otherwise she will get sick.
- Strangers should not touch the plant, otherwise there is a risk of stealing financial success. You only need to water and replant the money tree with your own hands so that the connection with the talisman is very strong.
How to replant a money tree
When the fat tree grows, the question arises of how to transplant a money tree according to Feng Shui. This procedure is carried out in early spring - once every 2-3 years. It is very important that the Moon is in its waxing stage during this period, otherwise the tree may wither.
It is also useful to bury three small coins or one large coin, preferably of Chinese or Russian origin, at the bottom of the pot. Then replanting the money tree according to Feng Shui will definitely be successful. If everything is done correctly, the fat woman will react very sensitively to your financial situation and grow as it increases.
How to properly replant a money tree
For good flower development, it needs to be replanted in the spring. How to properly replant a money tree to attract money:
- Prepare a new container, soil, coins, as described above;
- Pour some drainage mixture into the pot. Place the flower with the old soil and fill the remaining space with new soil.
When replanting, you must be extremely careful, since the trunk and root system of the tree are very fragile and delicate.
In order for the family to have prosperity, understanding, mutual respect and love to reign, it is necessary to properly plant a decorative money tree. Housewives who truly love the money tree help the family budget increase.
Feng Shui tree to attract money
The Chinese believe that attracting finances into a person’s life is largely determined by the symbols and various signs of wealth in his home or work.
The money tree according to Feng Shui is a great opportunity to make material wealth varied and large.
However, not everything depends on the talisman itself, since the tree requires significant care and respect from its owner.
How does working with plants that bring good luck affect a person?
When you take care of a dollar tree with all your heart or create a tree of happiness from wire, semi-precious stones and their analogues and believe that these rituals will attract cash flow into your life, your brain begins to work hard to achieve your goals.
Thus, thanks to the appearance of a dollar tree in the house, a sharp increase in material well-being can occur: a new source of income appears, for example, monetization of a hobby or passive income is activated.
The money tree, according to Eastern teachings, should be in the zone responsible for material wealth - that is, in the southeast of the apartment. If there is only one room in the house, then a corner of the room is selected. It is better to give preference to the living room or office, and the bedroom is considered not a very suitable place, because thoughts about material wealth will not allow you to fully relax. You can put the fat woman on your desktop.
Crown modeling
The structure of the money tree allows you to model its crown according to personal preferences. If you let the growth of branches take its course, the plant will begin to tilt in one direction, stretch out and have a sloppy appearance. To avoid this, it is worth maintaining the shape of the crown. To do this, it is enough to periodically remove excess shoots and stimulate the growth of new branches in suitable places. The latter is carried out by pinching the apical leaves.
At the same time, you should not remove unnecessary leaves from the trunk of the plant. It is better to wait until they naturally fall off along with the growth of the crown. With this approach, the trunk will have a more natural and pleasant appearance.
What does the tree of happiness mean?
The tree of happiness is called an amulet made in the form of a plant with a wide crown and leaves made of semi-precious stones. The larger and denser the crown of such a tree, the more positive Qi energy it emits into the house. Each family member must make his own tree.

Everyone who has purchased a Crassula sooner or later is faced with the question of whether it is possible to throw away the money tree. Particularly impressionable individuals are so afraid of signs and superstitions that they refuse to throw away amulets when they become unusable, citing the fact that happiness will leave the house.
But a broken talisman will also not bring the expected benefits. The best thing to do in such a situation is to get rid of the amulet to prevent negative energy from spreading throughout the house.
But how do you know whether it’s worth saying goodbye to the fat woman or whether there’s still an opportunity to revive it? Experts do not give specific instructions on this matter, so you can only act at your own discretion. When a tree is sick, try to cure it. Find more detailed guides on caring for this plant or talk to fellow gardeners.
If you can see from the Crassula that it won’t last long, then you have several options:
- completely get rid of the plant;
- leave a sprout for yourself to grow a new tree;
- give it to another person (but it is better not to do this for the reasons given in the previous paragraph).

Never throw the money tree in the trash or landfill. Mascots are not treated that way. If you don’t want to re-gift the plant or keep the sprout for yourself, just bury the fat plant in the ground away from the house.
