Not to mention the seasonal blooming of these beautiful, white lilies that compliment these radiant green plants that exude life all year round!
Taking care of these beauties does not take much. These tropical plants are sensitive to cold weather. They require low, indirect sunlight although they thrive in brightly lit environments.

The Lucky Bamboo is a great conversation starter for your guest. This plant is said to be one of the favorite FengShui plants. It is said to represent growth, wealth, success, and good luck. It is traditionally suggested that placing your lucky bamboo plant in the east or southeast direction can increase the flow of positive energy.
The Lucky bamboo is an easy plant to care for. This plant thrives best in indirect sunlight and moderate temperatures. Direct sunlight and cold drafts may cause the leaves to turn yellow and brown.

The Jade Plant is a classic for me. Another one that attracts prosperity and wealth in all it's simplicity. It is said to spread positive vibes within your environment while increasing the inflow of oxygen.
Jade Plants are succulents. This means that they hold water in their leaves, just like the Aloe Vera Plants. This means that you do not want the soil to be saturated. Watering your plant about once every 2-3 weeks should keep it healthy. 6 hours of bright sunlight is going to keep this lovely plant growing.
We often think of Basil simply for cooking. It is also a great antioxidant for your living environment. The Basil Plant is another one that is said to have spiritual and healing properties, clearing away negative energy in your atmosphere.
