Diwali 2025: Plant Lord Kuber’s Favorite Plant This Dhanteras — Attract Wealth and Prosperity All Year Round

The five-day Diwali festival begins with Dhanteras, a day dedicated to the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Dhanvantari, and Lord Kuber, the god of wealth. It is believed that bringing certain auspicious items home on this day ensures wealth and prosperity throughout the year. Among these, one sacred plant is especially significant — a plant deeply loved by Lord Kuber.

Let’s explore what this special plant is and how it should be placed in your home for maximum benefit.

Lord Kuber’s Favorite Plant

This plant is commonly known as Crassula Ovata, or the Jade Plant. It is also popularly called the Kuberakshi Plant or Lucky Plant. Both Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui describe it as a symbol of financial growth and good fortune.

It is believed that keeping this plant at home pleases Lord Kuber and attracts wealth. According to scriptures, if poverty or financial obstacles exist in your home, the Kuberakshi plant helps remove them. It is also said to resolve money-related problems and open new doors to prosperity.

If anyone in your family suffers from poor health or frequent illnesses, planting the Kuberakshi plant on Dhanteras is considered especially auspicious. It is believed to promote good health and balance planetary influences that may be causing recurring ailments. 

The Right Direction to Place It

According to Vastu Shastra, the north direction is governed by Lord Kuber. Therefore, the plant should always be placed in the northern part of the house, as it is believed to open pathways for wealth and success.

If you seek career growth or professional success, you may also place it in the southwest (South-West) direction.

It can also be kept near the main entrance or balcony of the house.

However, it should never be placed near the bathroom or under the bed. 

Planting and Care Tips

The Jade Plant is a succulent that requires minimal watering. It grows best in well-drained soil, so mix sand and compost in the potting soil to prevent water stagnation. Keeping it in a bright, airy space ensures steady growth and positivity in your home.
