The Money Plant — Dubai's Luckiest, Easiest, and Most Affordable Indoor Plant
The Money Plant — known in Arabic as نبات المال and botanically as Epipremnum aureum — is the single most popular indoor plant in the UAE and across the world. Also called Golden Pothos, Devil's Ivy (لبلاب الشيطان), and Money Vine (كرمة المال), this remarkably resilient trailing plant has earned its legendary status for three reasons: it is almost impossible to kill, it is believed to attract wealth and prosperity, and it looks absolutely beautiful in any setting — trailing from shelves, climbing up walls, or growing in nothing more than a glass of water.
If you have never owned a plant before, the Money Plant is where you start. If you have killed every plant you have ever owned, the Money Plant is your redemption.
NiceDream Landscape delivers fresh, healthy Money Plants directly to your door across Dubai and the UAE.
Why They Call It the Money Plant
The Money Plant's name comes from a Feng Shui tradition that has spread across cultures worldwide. According to Feng Shui principles, the five leaves on each stem represent the five elements — earth, water, fire, wood, and metal — and when placed correctly in the home, the plant is believed to attract financial prosperity, positive energy, and good fortune.
In the UAE, the Money Plant is one of the most popular choices for:
✔ Housewarming gifts — symbolises prosperity for the new home
✔ Office desks — believed to bring business success and career growth
✔ New business openings — a traditional good-luck plant for shops and offices
✔ Eid and Ramadan gifts — meaningful, affordable, and culturally appropriate
✔ Weddings — represents growth and abundance for the couple's future
Whether you believe in Feng Shui or not, there is no denying the psychological benefit of seeing a healthy, growing plant on your desk or in your home every day.
Why the Money Plant is Perfect for UAE Indoors
The Money Plant did not earn the nickname "Devil's Ivy" for nothing — it is almost supernaturally resilient:
| UAE Indoor Challenge | How Money Plant Responds |
|---|---|
| Heavy air conditioning | Thrives — one of the most AC-tolerant plants available |
| Low light / no direct sun | Thrives — grows happily in dimly lit rooms, bathrooms, even windowless offices with fluorescent light |
| Irregular watering | Thrives — handles missed waterings with zero drama. Recovers from drought within hours |
| Dry AC air | Tolerates perfectly — no misting required |
| Travel / absence | Survives weeks without water — the ultimate plant for frequent travellers |
| Overwatering | One of the few plants that grows directly in water — impossible to overwater in a water setup |
| Limited space | Grows vertically (climbing) or trails downward — adapts to any space |
Soil or Water — You Choose
One of the Money Plant's unique advantages is that it grows equally well in soil or in plain water:
| Growing Method | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| In soil | Standard potting mix, water every 7-14 days | Traditional potted look, faster growth, larger leaves |
| In water | Stem cuttings in a glass vase, jar, or bottle. Change water weekly | Minimalist décor, zero soil mess, desk/shelf display, propagation |
| Hanging basket | In soil, trailing downward from a high shelf or ceiling hook | Cascading green curtain effect — stunning in living rooms |
| Climbing | In soil, trained up a moss pole, trellis, or wall hooks | Vertical green wall effect, largest leaf development |
Pro tip: Money Plants grown climbing up a support develop significantly larger leaves than trailing specimens. If you want big, impressive Golden Pothos leaves in your Dubai home, give it something to climb.

Plant Care Guide — Dubai & UAE
| Care Factor | In Soil | In Water |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Low to bright indirect — tolerates almost anything except harsh direct sun | Same |
| Watering | Every 7-14 days — when top 3cm of soil is dry | Change water weekly. Add liquid fertiliser monthly |
| Humidity | Not required — handles Dubai's dry AC air | Same |
| Temperature | 15-35°C — perfect for UAE year-round | Same |
| Feeding | Balanced liquid fertiliser monthly in growing season | Few drops of liquid fertiliser in water monthly |
| Pruning | Trim trailing vines to encourage bushier growth | Same |
| Repotting | Every 1-2 years in spring | Not needed — just change water |
| Toxicity | Mildly toxic to cats and dogs if ingested — keep elevated | Same |
Pro tip for Dubai: If your Money Plant's leaves are losing their golden variegation and turning solid green, it needs more light. Move closer to a window. If leaves are scorching or bleaching, it is getting too much direct sun — move slightly further from the window.

- Remove the bottom 1-2 leaves to expose the node
- Place the cutting in a glass of clean water, ensuring the node is submerged
- Place in bright indirect light
- Roots appear within 7-10 days
- Once roots are 5-10cm long, plant in soil or keep growing in water
This is the perfect project to do with children — watching roots grow in a clear glass is educational and fascinating.
Common Questions
Is the Money Plant the same as the Money Tree?
No. The Money Plant (Epipremnum aureum / Golden Pothos) is a trailing vine with heart-shaped leaves. The Money Tree (Pachira Aquatica) is a tree with a braided trunk and fan-shaped leaves. Both are associated with prosperity, but they are completely different plants. We sell both in our store.
Can it really grow in just water?
Yes — indefinitely. Money Plants in water need only weekly water changes and occasional liquid fertiliser. They will grow slower than soil plants but remain healthy and attractive for years.
Is it safe for pets?
Money Plant (Epipremnum aureum) is mildly toxic to cats and dogs — it contains calcium oxalate crystals that cause mouth irritation if chewed. Place on elevated surfaces, hanging baskets, or high shelves out of pet reach.
How fast does it grow?
In good conditions — bright indirect light, regular watering, monthly feeding — expect 30-45cm of new vine growth per month during the growing season. One of the fastest-growing indoor plants in the UAE.
My Money Plant's leaves are turning yellow?
Most common cause in Dubai: overwatering. Allow soil to dry between waterings. Yellow leaves can also indicate too much direct sunlight or root rot from waterlogged soil.
