Another plant with positive vibes right in its name, the peace lily can bring — you guessed it! — inner peace and happiness to you and your home. Plus, this plant thrives in indirect sunlight, making it a low-maintenance pick and therefore a great choice when it comes to bringing in positive energy. "It's never a good idea to have more plants than you can manage or ones that you have difficulty caring for," says Cho. "This all translates to challenges that are typically the opposite of the vibe you want to bring in."

Luckily, peace lilies don't require much effort — just occasional watering when the top of the soil is dry.

Yes, olive trees can be grown inside your home, as long as you're able to provide the plant with 8-10 hours of direct sunlight.

Regardless, these plants represent friendship and peace — that's where the phrase "extending an olive branch" comes from!

Another feng shui plant, rubber trees bring wealth, abundance and happiness to a home. The gently curved leaves bring soft, smooth texture to harsher areas, making it a great fit for any corners throughout your home.
