Do you know how many types of money plants are there? Maybe you know about two or three; but we guarantee that after reading our list, you would know many of these.

Why is Pothos Famous as a Money Plant in India?

Pothos is popular in India for a couple of reasons. Many people here believe the money plant brings good luck and prosperity to the home. This belief is linked to Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice that emphasizes balance and harmony in living spaces.

The money plant’s five leaves on each stem are said to represent the five elements of Feng Shui–metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. So, keeping a money plant around is seen as a way to attract positive energy and financial success.

Neon Pothos is a stunning houseplant with heart-shaped leaves that stand out because of their bright, almost glowing green color. Unlike other Pothos varieties, it doesn’t have any yellow or white streaks on the leaves. It’s amazing, bright leaves are enough. Here’s how to grow it.

8. Pearls and Jade Pothos

Botanical Name: Epipremnum aureum ‘Pearls and Jade’

Pearls and Jade Pothos is a stunning houseplant with a luxurious look. You might be wondering where it gets the name from.

12. Cebu Blue Pothos

Botanical Name: Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Cebu Blue’

You might have guessed it, but Cebu Blue is called so because of its light color, which is a mix of silver, green, and blue shades. Its leaves are elongated and can have a slightly wavy texture. As the plant matures, the leaves may develop splits, which add to their beauty.
