Dhanlakshmi’s Green Secret: The Kuber Plant – Diwali’s True Money Magnet
Diwali is known for lights, sweets, and celebrations — but what if we could make it greener and even more prosperous?
Across India, families are adding plants to their festive rituals — not just for beauty, but for blessings. And among all these greens, one plant stands out — the Kuber Plant, also called the Jade or Crassula plant.
Named after Lord Kuber, the god of wealth, this small, plump-leaved plant is believed to bring abundance, positivity, and financial growth. Placing it near the entrance or in your workspace is said to invite Dhanlakshmi — the goddess of wealth and prosperity — into your home.
The Prosperity Plant: Why Kuber (Jade/Crassula) Is So Special
Here’s why the Kuber plant is becoming the heart of modern Diwali décor:
🌸 Symbol of Wealth and Growth – Its round, coin-like leaves represent money and abundance. Keeping it healthy is believed to attract steady financial growth.
🌿 A Gift of Good Fortune – Many now gift the jade plant instead of sweets or candles — a thoughtful, eco-friendly gesture that lasts long after the festival.
💨 Cleans the Air, Clears the Energy – The Crassula plant helps purify the air indoors and radiates calming energy, perfect for peaceful celebrations.
🌞 Low Maintenance, High Vibes – Easy to care for and resilient, the Kuber plant reminds us that prosperity grows best when nurtured with patience.
Green Diwali, Global Goals
This year’s Diwali celebrations also connect beautifully with global green goals.
As India’s G20 Summit highlighted, sustainability and responsible living are the future. (🔗 Learn more about G20 India’s Sustainable Development Goals)
The idea is simple — when we light diyas, we should also light up awareness for our planet.
Similarly, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) encourages individuals to take small, eco-friendly steps at home — whether it’s planting greens, saving energy, or avoiding plastic. (🔗 Explore the UN Environment Programme)
