Monstera deliciosa is a favourite plant among decorators thanks to its dramatic and unusual leaves, and it is also an ideal plant to attract money and good fortune according to Feng Shui. This low-maintenance plant has also enjoyed a boost in popularity thanks to its ubiquity on social media.
Although monsteras are capable of adapting to a variety of conditions, there are certain areas in the home where Feng Shui recommends locating them in order to best enhance their qualities. Read on to learn about the best spots in your home for these attractive plants.
A Plant With Growth Potential
Monstera deliciosa, also known as a split-leaf philodendron, stands out from other houseplants thanks to its large leaves with “holes” in them (a phenomenon known as “leaf fenestration,” which is not unique to monsteras). The plant, native to Mexico, is remarkably easy to care for. It also fills spaces with positive energy and attracts good luck, according to Feng Shui. This plant species’ energy influences the home environment—for the better—and helps to filter out any bad vibes.
Where should I place my Monstera deliciosa according to Feng Shui?
The location of furniture and decorative items is one of the most important aspects of Feng Shui. The ancient practice uses what is called a bagua map to reflect how different energies move through a space. This impacts everything from the placement of furniture to where houseplants should be located.
According to bagua maps, the place where money and fortune are attracted to a house is in its upper left corner, so you have to focus on this area of the home (and that part of the rooms within it) when using plants to attract wealth. There are also other strategic places where you can place Monstera deliciosa plants to encourage the energy associated with money and then generate more income.

The principal place where Feng Shui practitioners recommend that you add plants to attract good fortune is at a home’s entrance and at its windows. This is because it is here that energy enters a home and plants will help to purify the incoming energy. Locate your Monstera deliciosa at the entrance of your home and it will attract money, fortune, and abundance by encouraging good energy to enter your home. Plants are also believed to offer excellent protection from negative energy, and you should always have one in your foyer.

It will encourage energy related to economic activity and it will also increase your motivation when working.

According to feng shui, Monstera deliciosa is an important plant because of its ability to generate its own positive energy. The living room is one of the most important places for that energy since it is typically at the centre of a home. You can place your Monstera deliciosa in the living room, dining room, and even in the TV room to promote family harmony and economic abundance.
Finally, a Monstera deliciosa can also be positioned in the kitchen as it has important abilities to purify the air. In terms of Feng Shui, a monstera plant will help you cleanse the energies in the space while preparing food and also when the family gathers for meals. Just remember that your kitchen should be well ventilated so that extreme temperature changes do not harm your plant.
The attractive appearance and easy care of Monstera deliciosa plants are reasons enough to add one—or several—to your home. Its ability to attract money and wealth while also purifying a home’s energy are helpful extra pluses.
