Crassula omens and superstitions

Crassula is a popular plant, widespread not only in foreign countries, but also in our homeland. There are just a huge number of signs and superstitions about the money tree (aka crassula or money plant, silver Dollar plant, jade plant or even friendship plant). But which ones are worth believing, and which ones are not? Probably the best way to learn this in practice is simply by planting a crassula in your home. However, you can get acquainted with the most common beliefs even before making this decision, and this is what we will do now.

Is jade plant a pet or a dangerous creature?

Of course, the very first question that comes to mind is “is it safe to keep a money plant at home?” In this regard the signs say an unequivocal “yes”. Eastern specialists in space harmonization (Feng Shui masters) believe that a crassula nourishes the room with positive energy, so every family should start such a plant. If you don’t have the time and energy to care for the money tree, just buy an artificial copy of it made of stone - it also has useful properties.

Crassula planting rules

Now let's move on to the features of keeping a jade plant at home. Signs and superstitions for the most part advise not to buy a plant, but to steal a crassula sprout from the owner. But, you must admit, if, for example, only one person out of the whole company has a silver Dollar plant, and everyone else steals its sprouts, the owner will notice this sooner or later, which can lead to an unpleasant situation.

Let's assume that by honest or dishonest means you actually got the sprout. What to do next, how to plant a money tree? The sign says that this should be done only during the period of the growing moon and certainly at night, accompanying the planting process with a special conspiracy for wealth. You need to pronounce the text in a quiet but confident voice, and after the sprout is in the ground, be sure to tie it with a red ribbon or thread. Red is a symbol of financial well-being, so such a “bow” will enhance the magical properties of crassula to attract material luck.

A number of signs and superstitions about the flower of the money plant say that you can put any coin on the bottom of the pot. The larger its denomination, the more money the plant will bring into the house.

Many people generally put unused or broken gold jewelry in the pot: it turns out a wonderful cache that no thief will find. By the way, a number of requirements are put forward for the pot itself: it must be the most expensive and beautiful in the store, it must be clay or ceramic, and it is desirable that red color be present on it. The ideal place for a new “pet”, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, is the southeast direction. The crassula tree should stand on the windowsill, and not somewhere in an inconspicuous corner of the apartment.

Crassula plant care

Let's see what signs about the money tree are associated with caring for it. In addition to the correct selection of soil, timely watering, creating comfortable conditions for growth, you need to talk with a crassula from time to time - it is believed that the plant brings material luck only to an attentive and talkative owner.

The leaves of the crassula need to be periodically wiped from dust, sprayed with a spray gun; you should trim the crown of the tree, but only the owner should cut it: if “foreign hands” touch the plant, or, God forbid, someone else breaks its twig - luck will turn away from family very quickly.

Assessing crassula state

Many signs and superstitions about the money tree for the home are associated with the appearance and condition of the plant.

• A lush crown, a tall crassula tree - promises the growth of well-being;
• Diseases in crassula - mean the appearance of envious people, enemies, ill-wishers, but if you managed to defeat the disease and you successfully “reanimated” the plant, their machinations will not be successful;
• The plant trunk is bent - expect financial difficulties soon;
• The crassula tree fell, but did not break, while the pot remained intact - difficulties will not be able to break you, a “white” stripe awaits ahead;
• If only the pot broke during the fall, this means some people envy you;
• If the plant itself is damaged, money will flow out of your home;
• If crassula has bloomed - wait for the most favorable moment in all areas of life.

Can you give crassula to someone?

There is such a superstition: a money tree can be gifted to a loved one only if it is grown by you. You should not buy a plant in a store, because it will not bring much luck. Therefore, if you want to give someone such a gift, transplant the shoot into a separate pot in advance, and only then make such a wonderful present.

What to do with a dead plant?

It is believed that you shouldn’t just throw away a dead crassula plant. The tree grew in your house for a long time, fed on your energy, brought good luck to the inhabitants of the home, so putting it in the garbage as unnecessary trash is bad. According to signs and superstitions, a money plant that has withered from an illness must be taken outside and buried in the ground. However, there is another option: just put a pot with a plant in the entrance of the house or in the yard, but do not forget to finally “talk” with the dead tree, thank it for all the good that it brought you. If the flower has preserved live sprouts, cut them off, and then transplant them into a new pot, try to grow an “offspring”.

By the way, the tradition of a proper farewell to the plant is valid only for self-grown crassula. If you bought a tree in a store, and it soon died, you can simply take it to the trash. By the way, selling your own grown plant is also not a good idea: if you are tired of caring for it, just give it to a good person whom you sincerely wish happiness.

As you can see, there are quite many signs and superstitions about crassula. We hope that after reading the article you no longer have questions about how to properly acquire, plant, and grow this symbol of monetary well-being.
