When your space needs a little extra something, from a full revamp to a seasonal refresh, green plants and flowers always deliver. Beyond looking gorgeous, some of these beauties are believed to bring good luck, prosperity, and mood-lifting energy into your space. At Phillips Flowers & Gifts, Chicago’s go-to florist, we’ve gathered 10 of the luckiest plants and flowers to infuse those positive vibes around your home (or gift them to someone who could use a little boost of good luck!).

Five Lucky Plants

Lucky Bamboo

Lucky bamboo is know worldwide for bringing peace, prosperity, and all kinds of good fortune. However, it’s crucial you count the stalks before bringing one home! Three stalks represent a healthy balance in life and five are said to give your finances a little glow-up. Four stalks means bad luck in many traditions, so it’s best to skip those. Sleek, low-maintenance, and rich in symbolism, lucky bamboo is the perfect pick for adding a touch of zen and good juju to your space.

Money Tree

With its braided trunk and glossy green leaves, the money tree is both a stunner and a symbol of success, wealth, and prosperity (the name is a bit of a giveaway). Rooted in feng shui tradition, the money tree represents balance among the five elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and metal. It brings a sense of harmony wherever it lives. If your plant grows seven leaves instead of the usual five, that’s considered a rare and extra-lucky sign. Stylish, meaningful, and easy to care for, the money tree is a no-brainer for home offices, cozy corners, or anywhere you’re manifesting abundance.

Snake Plant

The snake plant has bold, upright leaves (like swords) and a modern, sculptural style that instantly levels up any room. Known as a protector plant, the snake plant is believed to bring health, good energy, and a serious shield against negativity. Plus, it’s an air-purifying powerhouse. Since snake plants are famously low-maintenance, embracing low light and minimal watering, they’re ideal for new plant parents. Sleek, resilient, and packed with good juju, this plant is a must for stylish spaces.

Peace Lily

If your space could use a little calm, the peace lily delivers with graceful green leaves, elegant white blooms, and all the serene vibes. Whether it’s tucked in a bedroom corner, your go-to reading spot, or even your desk, this plant brings soft, balanced energy wherever it lands. Peace lilies are natural air purifiers, quietly working to freshen up your space while you go about your day. Low-maintenance and full of feel-good energy, it’s the ultimate chill plant for anyone craving a little peace with their greenery.

Jade Plant

If you’re manifesting wealth, the jade plant is your new green bestie. With its glossy, coin-shaped leaves and rich symbolism in Feng Shui, it’s long been associated with prosperity, success, and all things abundant. Display this leafy good luck charm on your desk, in your home office, or gift it to someone kicking off a new job or business. Jade plants are low-maintenance, super resilient, and built to thrive. Classic, meaningful, and full of money-magnet energy, this plant is a smart (and stylish) way to invite abundance in.

Five Lucky Flowers

Hydrangea

Big, fluffy, and effortlessly elegant, hydrangeas are the kind of blooms that radiate gratitude, abundance, and heartfelt emotions. These lush beauties are known to bring good fortune and a calming, luxurious energy to any space. Whether you’re styling a dreamy dining table or sending a sweet “thinking of you” surprise, hydrangeas are always hit the mark. Charming, uplifting, and full of meaning, they’re the floral equivalent of a warm hug.

Orchids

Orchids have been turning heads for centuries with their elegant shape and luxe, exotic flair. These blooms are believed to attract good luck and elevate the energy in any space, and are a symbol of love, thoughtfulness, refinement, beauty, and charm. According to Feng Shui, placing orchids in the bedroom is said to spark harmony and emotional balance. Whether you’re manifesting romance or simply want a gorgeous dose of serenity, orchids bring that perfect blend of positivity and elegance.

Daffodils

Daffodils are sunshine with stems. They’re bright, happy, and bursting with fresh-start energy. Their golden petals offer an uplifting essence and have been symbols of luck, renewal, and new beginnings for centuries. In Welsh tradition, spotting the first daffodil of spring means a whole year of good fortune! Whether you’re gifting a bouquet or brightening up your own space, daffodils bring instant joy, warmth, positivity, and a little floral magic to every room.

Peonies

Nothing says “romantic elegance” like peonies. With their lush, cloud-like blooms and delicate ruffles, these flowers are all about good luck, prosperity, and love that lasts. Perfect for weddings, dreamy home decor, or just treating yourself to something beautiful, peonies bring a major mood-boost. Red peonies, in particular, are powerful symbols of passion, fortune, and happily-ever-afters. From abundance to love, peonies are the go-to bloom for beauty and meaning.

Sweet Peas

Sweet peas are tiny blooms with big heart. Their soft petals offer a gentle fragrance and symbolize gratitude, good fortune, and joyful new beginnings. It’s no wonder they’re a favorite for marking milestones like birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries. Especially popular in bridal bouquets, sweet peas are thought to bless couples with a lifetime of love and happiness. Light, lovely, and full of meaning, these blooms leave a whisper of beauty and warmth wherever they go.
