The money plant, also known as Pothos, is a popular indoor plant. It is a common plant in every household, believed to bring wealth and prosperity. However, a lot of myths surround this green beauty. Let’s debunk the top 7 myths about the money plant to help you care for it better and clear misconceptions. 

Money Plant Brings Wealth

    Fact: While the money plant is believed to attract wealth, fortune, and prosperity according to Vastu, it definitely doesn’t magically increase your bank balance. Its association with wealth is more about creating a positive and peaceful environment in your home, which can influence your mindset and boost productivity.

    The Plant Needs Direct Sunlight

      Fact: It is said that money plant requires direct sunlight to thrive. Whereas it can survive in all light conditions, including low-light conditions, and purely indoors as well. In fact, direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, causing damage. The plant is strong enough to tolerate various light conditions but prefers bright, indirect light.

      It Only Grows in Soil

        Fact: Another myth is that money plants only grow in soil. However, it can grow in water, soil, and pots. The fattest way to grow your plant is water. For healthy water growth, change water once a week. If using soil, water the soil once a week in summer and every couple of weeks in winter. Additionally, ensure that the pot you’re using has a good drainage system.

              The More Leaves It Has, the More Money You’ll Get

                Fact: The number of leaves on a money plant has no connection to your financial status. While a bushy plant may look attractive, wealth and prosperity come from hard work and smart decisions, not from the plant’s leaf count.
