There was a farmer whose crops were not doing very well. He was in desperate need of money. So, he prayed for help one night. The next morning he went out to his fields to find a new type of plant growing that he had never seen before. He thought that maybe this was the answer to his prayers so he carefully removed the plant and brought it home. Once home, he took very good care of the plant. He was able to produce new plants from this one began to make money. He also sold the nuts that grew from the plant. He no longer had the money worries he had before he had discovered the plant. This is why, to this day, people believe the money plant is such a lucky plant.
Another great thing about this plant is that it is often used by those who practice feng shui. There are five elements that need to be in a room when adhering to the rules of feng shui. They are wood, fire, earth, metal and water. It is believed that when a room is missing one of these elements, it can be balanced out by the addition of a money tree. Why? Because it usually has five leaves.
