For good luck! Zamioculca: It belongs to the Aracea family. Its scientific name is Zamioculca Zamiifolia and its common name is money plant. The plant is native to Africa.
It is a plant requested in my country because of the belief that it opens the way for luck and prosperity. The plant develops from a bulbous rhizome with an erect and rigid stem which has oval leaves arranged on each side of the thick stem, in an orderly manner and with the underside up. The leaves are lustrous and shiny. Both the stem and the leaves are dark green, except for the new leaves that are light green. They are perennial plants which can measure up to a meter in height and both the stem and its thick leaves accumulate fluid.
This plant cannot be directly exposed to the sun's rays because it does not tolerate it. For the same reason it’s frequently used as an ornament indoors. It supports long periods without irrigation due to what has been said before about its accumulation of water. It is a perfect plant for beginners since its requirements are minimal to achieve a good development. The most important thing is not to expose it to the sun and not to water it abundantly, since it does not support the puddles of the substrate. Although it can be planted in many types of substrate, it must have good drainage to prevent water from accumulating. To reproduce the plant, the small bulbs that come out of the mother plant are extracted and they are sown in a pot. With compost and soil you can carry gravel or sand to encourage good irrigation drainage. They can also reproduce by sowing the leaves. After a few weeks, new plants will be born, with the same characteristics of the mother plant. When the bulbs or leaves of the plant are transplanted for reproduction, the substrate must be kept moist so that the new plant germinates.
This is a mother plant. I have been able to reproduce many plants through bulbs and leaves. With patience and without making many changes, the plant can be reproduced very efficiently.

we have here money tree.😅
Since your country has a climate similar to mine, many of my plants are also grown in yours. It is a very beautiful plant due to its glossy leaves and thick stem.
I should get one of these with the hope that it will bring more money for me. 😊😊 I guess that is just a belief. More money will come if I can manage my finances better and work harder in earning.
It's just popular belief. I have several for sale, and that does not bring more money.
If you are selling it to those who believe, you might get more money. It can be a nice Christmas present this year. Though it might nit bring money but I am sure it will give a desk a good look for the Christmas. Or maybe make a living room look a bit lively for those who love plants just like you.
Of course it brings in the normal money that selling any plant brings. even my cacti are more sold than this plant.
Ohh we have this plant at home but i don't think it works. I wonder if there's an oracion to do just for this work
I particularly believe that all plants are beautiful. The mere fact of having them with us in our home is already a source of positive energy and not having to do with popular beliefs and magic recipes.
Well true that they are beautiful, specially when i put them outside and they make the house look cooler but would be great to get some bit of fortune from it too
It would be great to make a fortune without working but I don't believe in that kind of fortune. I love plants for their variety of all kinds but not believing in their possible money formula.
There was also sone other kind of money plant circulating in my country but it's something that has these weird small black fruits
I think. Here in my country there are also other plants with the popular belief that they give money to those who own it. The people always in search of magic formulas.
Mind writing about those too when you have the time? I'm curious if the beluefs are similar too or not 😂😂😂
Ok I will try to do it.
