Each is believed to attract good energy and promote positive attributes.

13 Best Houseplants that Bring Positive Energy Indoors

Here are my top picks of feel-good plants that beautify your space and bring good vibes at the same time. Each plant brings its own benefits and charm, making it easier than ever to turn your home into an area of positivity and growth.

#1. Fiddle Leaf Fig

Hey, diddle-diddle, the Fiddle-Leaf Fig makes a bold statement with its large, glossy leaves resembling fiddles. This plant symbolizes good luck, abundance, growth, and progress and is a favorite for modern homes.

Fiddle-leaf figs also purify the air and add fresh energy to your space. Feng Shui suggests placing them in a wealth or career area of your home if you want financial luck. Put them in a family room to promote stronger, loving bonds.

#2. Orchid

Ah, the elegant and sophisticated orchid has to be on this list, but what does it represent? Orchids represent a few things, the top four being luxury, love, strength, and beauty. It’s easy to believe when one of their ornamental flowers brightens a room and inspires a sense of harmony.

Orchids are exotic beauties and practical air filters that improve your living environment. Place one in your workspace or living room to enjoy its graceful energy.

#3. Cactus

Cacti are tough, resilient plants that look unique and protect against negative energy. While some are superstitious about their spiky looks and irregular shape, I think cacti are a perfect low-maintenance plant as they represent resilience despite adversity.

Cacti thrive in sunny spots and need little watering. A cactus can add unique character (and a splash of color when flowering) to your home while keeping the bad vibes at bay.

#4. Basil Plant

Basil isn’t just a great herb for cooking—it’s also a symbol of protection, love, and good fortune. Many cultures consider it sacred and believe it wards off negativity. Just the other day, my local grocery store owner wanted me to admire her “Sacred Basil” that she planted for our community.

In other cultures, Basil is believed to draw lovers together and can even symbolize an intent to marry someone! Symbolism aside, Basil’s fresh, spicy scent makes your kitchen smell amazing, and it’s easy to grow. Enjoy the sense of well-being and abundance it brings to your space.

#5. Pothos

Despite its nickname, “Devil’s Ivy,” Pothos is a powerhouse of positivity. It’s a type of money plant believed to bring wealth and good vibes while purifying the air.

Pothos is called Devil’s Ivy because it’s a hardy plant that will thrive even if you don’t have green fingers. Its long, trailing vines are perfect for creating a lush, green look that will up the vibrancy of a space.

#6. Lavender

Lavender is a pretty member of the mint family, and its soothing scent helps you relax and unwind. Place it in your bedroom to enjoy better sleep and less stress, and put a lavender sprig in your bath to level up the chill vibes.

Lavender has cute purple flowers that bring a pop of color and elegance to your home. I sometimes use the edible flowers to embellish a salad—they look pretty and have the advantage of calming those who eat them. Lavender smells amazing and creates a calm and uplifting atmosphere wherever it grows.

#7. Heart-Leaf Philodendron

Philodendrons are all about love and compassion, and they have many other awesome meanings, too! For instance, they symbolize emotional healing, peace, joy, nature, growth, renewal, and more! When I admire my Philodendron’s trailing vine and pretty leaves, it reminds me to nurture my relationships.

Philodendron’s heart-shaped leaves add warmth and charm to any room but would be most harmonious in an East-facing space. They’re easy to grow and thrive in indirect light. This plant also cleans the air, promoting a fresh and inviting feel in your home.

#8. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is helpful for your skin and your home’s energy. This sap-filled succulent is believed to attract positivity and block negative vibes. Plus, it’s a natural air purifier—a hardy one at that!

Keep aloe vera near a sunny window and water sparingly. Whenever you enjoy its soothing presence, remember that its super handy gel is also excellent for burns and cuts.

#9. Jade Plant

The Jade Plant, or Money Tree, is a Feng Shui favorite that symbolizes wealth, luck, and friendship. Its thick oval-shaped leaves are thought to attract financial luck, which makes it ideal for the home office.

The Jade Plant is low maintenance and lasts a long time. Place it near your front door to invite good fortune and abundance into your home.

#10. Chinese Money Plant

With a name like Money Plant, it’s easy to figure out what this cute indoor plant represents: fortune and prosperity! The Chinese money plant has coin-shaped leaves and stalks that grow in groups of five, representing the five elements of Feng Shui.

This plant grows fast and looks impressive with trailing vines, perfect for hanging baskets or shelves. The Chinese money plant also absorbs negative energy, making your space feel more positive. It’s easy to propagate and share with your friends, too, so share the love!

#11. Peace Lily

According to Feng Shui, the Peace Lily brings peace, harmony, and a sense of calm to your home. Yet, while it looks all tranquil, this powerful plant purifies the air by filtering toxins like formaldehyde and benzene.

Peace Lilies thrive in low light and are simple to care for. Their refined white flowers add a touch of purity and serenity to your space. However, they are toxic to dogs and cats, so you should place them thoughtfully.

#12. Lucky Bamboo

As its name suggests, Lucky Bamboo symbolizes good luck, prosperity, and positive energy. In Chinese culture, the number of stalks on a Lucky Bamboo has different meanings. For example, two stalks symbolize love, three stalks suggest happiness, five stalks mean financial prosperity and ten stalks represent completeness.

The Lucky Bamboo’s unique stalks can be shaped into twists or spirals, making it a fun, stylish, and unique addition to your home. It grows easily in water and tolerates low maintenance and overwatering. Give it a sunny spot, and let your Lucky Bamboo bring vitality and fortune to your home.

#13. Anthurium

The Anthurium, called Laceleaf, has brightly colored heart-shaped flowers that symbolize love, happiness, and hospitality. Also known as the “Flamingo Lily” because of the brightly colored flowers, this plant is a cheerful addition to any room.

Anthuriums also help to purify the air, making them as functional as they are beautiful. It’s the perfect plant for a home with a welcoming and joyful vibe.
