Luck plays an almost foundational role for the Chinese, wherein the belief that we are the stewards of our fates and fortunes often guides principals that decree our association with lucky colours, dishes, numbers, phrases, and even plants. Rooted in ancient cultural beliefs, these facets are not merely ornamental additions but also serve to represent an abundance of good luck, prosperity, Health, and positivity in any space.
Where the home is concerned, this is especially true with the lucky plants that often makes an appearance around the festive corner.
