What are the main varieties of fortune trees?

Taiwan Fortune Tree

The Taiwan Money Tree is the Parama chestnut. From its name, you might think it is a Taiwanese tree species, but in fact its origin is Mexico. Because it is widely planted in Taiwan and is very famous, it is called the Taiwan Money Tree. Most of the money trees planted on our mainland now are introduced from Taiwan and have extremely high ornamental value. If we talk in a narrow sense, the money tree we usually refer to is basically the Taiwan money tree variety. Because some of its petioles have eight leaflets, and "eight" and "fa" are homophones, people in the south gradually called it the money tree.

Big Leaf Fortune Tree

The original name of the big-leaf money tree was Queensland umbrella tree, and Europe is its origin. As the name suggests, the leaves are definitely the main feature of this variety, and its ornamental value is also reflected in the leaves, so when cultivating it, you should pay attention to facing the leaves to the sun to ensure its good growth.

Fortune Tree

The money tree is also called Schefflera arborvitae, which belongs to the Araliaceae family. It is produced in the southeastern coastal areas such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Fujian, and Hainan, and has high economic value. It has a softer wood texture, so it can be used to make matchsticks or raw materials for steamers. In addition, its leaves and rhizomes can be used as medicine to treat influenza and bruises.

To summarize, the main varieties of money trees include Taiwan money tree, large-leaf money tree and beautiful money tree. They are very common home potted plants and greening plants.
