Tree for Luck Bonsai moneytrees are perfect gifts for people who are superstitious by nature because in Eastern legends, bonsai moneytrees are symbols of luck especially when you acquire them not by purchase but by way of gifts from other people. Make sure that you inform the recipient of course that luck won't knock on their doorstep if they don't take special care of their plant.

The luck of bonsai moneytrees depend on the number of leaves it has on each stem. It's typical for bonsai moneytrees to have four or five leaves on each stem. Make sure then that you don't give anything less than this as it could cause your more superstitious recipients to think that you don't wish for them to fully prosper.

The luckiest among all bonsai moneytrees are those with seven leaves on each stem. If you find a bonsai moneytree of this kind, do make sure that you give it to someone who's extremely dear to you. A special bonsai moneytree, after all, is meant for a special person!
