There’s something almost magical about walking into a home filled with plants. The air feels lighter, the mood softens, and even the quiet corners seem more alive. Beyond their beauty, many people believe that certain plants carry the power to attract luck, wealth, and good energy. As city living becomes more fast-paced, people are turning to greenery not just for aesthetics but for emotional comfort. Plants help purify the air, reduce stress, and make a space feel grounded.
Whether you follow Vastu, Feng Shui, or simply enjoy thoughtful home décor, these “lucky plants” have become a staple in modern homes for both their symbolism and the sense of calm they bring.
Tulsi
In Indian households, the Tulsi plant isn’t just a symbol but a part of daily pooja ritual. Families pray near it, use it in remedies, and treat it as a guardian of health. Tulsi is known for purifying the air and boosting immunity, making it both spiritually and physically uplifting. Vastu recommends placing it in an east-facing corner for maximum benefit, so it receives the gentle morning sun.
Lucky Bamboo
Lucky bamboo has become one of the most gifted plants worldwide because of its clean, sculptural look and the belief that it brings prosperity. The number of stalks even carries different meanings like wealth, happiness, good health. Since it thrives in water or soil and prefers low, indirect light, it fits beautifully into bedrooms, offices, and entryways. Its calming appearance also makes it a favourite for workspaces that need a dose of positive energy.
Golden Money Plant
If there’s one plant almost every Indian home has welcomed at some point, it’s the golden money plant. It’s believed to draw wealth and reduce financial stress, making it a popular choice for living rooms and study areas. This hardy plant also removes indoor pollutants, which means it works double duty: better air and better vibes.
Jade Plant
According to Feng Shui, the Jade plant is one of the most powerful symbols of wealth. With its thick, coin-shaped leaves, it’s believed to attract success and abundance when placed near the entrance or in a southeast corner. It’s easy to maintain too—bright, indirect sunlight, warm temperatures, and watering every few weeks.
Snake Plant
The variegated Laurentii Snake Plant is considered a guardian plant. It’s believed to bring longevity, protection, and strength. Since it survives low light and irregular watering, it’s perfect for urban homes. Vastu and Feng Shui both recommend placing it near the entrance to invite positive energy.

Jasmine and Lavender
Flower lovers can bring home jasmine for its soothing fragrance and association with love and positivity. It grows best near sunny windows. Lavender, though unexpected as an indoor plant, works brilliantly in bright bedrooms. Its scent is known to melt away stress and support better sleep.
