Where to Keep the Money Plant at Home?

The money plant, known for its vibrant energy and air-purifying qualities, is a popular choice for homes. Proper placement enhances its benefits, attracting positivity and prosperity.

Direction & Entrance

• Southeast: Ideal for attracting luck and prosperity (ruled by Lord Ganesha and planet Venus).
• North-Facing House Entrance: Helps bring new career opportunities and income sources.

Living Room

• Place the plant in the SE corner of the living room.
• You can also grow the money plant in an aquarium located in the SE corner.

Kitchen

Position near a window or entrance door at least 4–5 feet away (to maintain distance from heat sources).

Corners

Sharp corners emit negativity. Placing a money plant there helps neutralize stress and anxiety.

Bedroom

• Keep it on the left or right side of the bed, but away from footrest/headrest.
• Maintain about 5 feet distance since the plant produces CO₂ at night.

Bathroom

• Money plants thrive in humid conditions.
• No negative impact per Vastu, provided there is some sunlight and it’s placed in the SE direction near a window.

Near Electronics

Capable of absorbing radiation from televisions, computers, and Wi-Fi routers.

Inside Aquariums

• Let the plant’s roots grow in water, reducing nitrates and benefiting fish.
• Enhances positive energy flow in the house.
