But if you’re not ready to give up on the thought of a plant bringing you good fortune, don’t despair! Instead, try a Chinese money plant, or Pilea peperomioides, which, as you may have guessed from its name and its coin-shaped leaves, symbolises prosperity.
As well as hopefully helping your bank balance, this handsome plant purifies the air, is low-maintenance and grows quickly and easily. They also produce lots of baby plants at the base, which you can re-pot and gift to friends.
