Where to place your pilea plant based on the Bagua map

Abundance: This plant has circular or tear drop leaves that resemble coins. Coin symbolism is associated with wealth and prosperity. Plants with round leaves are perfect to place in the wealth and abundance gua. You can also place this plant within the career gua of the home if you are calling in more financial success through work.

Friendship: Pileas create offshoots and sprout new plants easily. These are also symbols of abundance and are easy to separate and share with others. Sharing is pure abundance energy, signaling to yourself that the universe will provide for you and there is plenty for everyone. Place a pilea plant in the relationship gua of you home to stimulate beneficial realtionship energy as new offshoots grow and flourish.

Where not to place your pilea plant based on the Bagua map

I would not recommend placing this plant in the bathroom. The pilea plant is most often associated with money and attracting wealth. You would not want to invite wealth and prosperity into your life only to be washed down the drain.

My pilea plant sits on the upper right hand corner of my desk (the abundance area of my desk) and my desk is located in the abundance area of my home, that should equal double abundance right?!

It likes bright, indirect light and to be watered around every 2 weeks.
