Mandarin Trees Symbolise Wealth & Prosperity
If there’s one plant that captures the spirit of Lunar New Year, it’s the Mandarin Orange Tree. In Chinese culture, fruiting mandarins symbolise luck, prosperity and wealth, which is why they’re often displayed near entrances and living spaces during the festive season. The bright orange fruit represents gold and success, while a tree heavy with fruit is believed to attract abundance for the year ahead.
At Hello Hello, we stock a beautiful range including Imperial, Emperor, Afourer, Clementine, Japanese Seedless, Murcott, Hickson and Ellendale, plus compact dwarf varieties perfect for smaller spaces. In Australia, mandarins naturally fruit around Lunar New Year, making them especially meaningful. They thrive in full sun, handle heat well, and offer both ornamental beauty and delicious fruit — a perfect blend of tradition and practicality.

Cumquat Symbolise Wealth & Prosperity
Cumquats and Calamondins may be smaller than traditional mandarin trees, but their symbolism is just as powerful. In Chinese culture, gold represents wealth and the word “orange” sounds like luck — making these compact citrus trees a symbol of prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead. Their neat size makes them perfect for entryways, balconies and smaller homes. In Australia, they thrive in full sun and hold their bright fruit for weeks, bringing long-lasting festive colour throughout the Lunar New Year season.
Jade Plants Symbolise Nobility and Prosperity
The Jade Plant has long been associated with nobility, prosperity and flowing streams of wealth in Chinese culture, with its thick, glossy leaves resembling pieces of jade — a stone traditionally linked to fortune and success.
It’s especially popular in homes and business settings as a symbol of steady growth and financial stability. Known as one of the ultimate low-maintenance plants, jade plants are incredibly easy to care for, making them perfect for both experienced collectors and beginners
The Chinese Money Plant Symbolises Wealth and Treasures
The Chinese Money Plant is widely associated with attracting wealth and prosperity, thanks to its distinctive coin-shaped leaves that symbolise financial luck and abundance.
It has become especially popular with younger generations who love its clean, modern aesthetic as an alternative to more traditional money plants. Compact and stylish, it works beautifully on desks, shelves or countertops, making it a thoughtful Lunar New Year gift or decorative feature for homes and businesses.
In Australian conditions, it performs best indoors in bright, indirect light, thriving comfortably in air-conditioned spaces during the warmer summer months.
Anthuriums Symbolise Thriving Life, Success, and Good Fortune
Anthuriums feature glossy, heart-shaped blooms that make a striking statement in homes, reception areas, and shop counters. Loved for their long-lasting flowers and elegant tropical look, they thrive indoors in Australian summers with warmth and bright, indirect light — keeping the festive spirit alive well beyond the New Year.
Golden Pothos Symbolise Vitality and Channelling Positive Energy
Golden Pothos, also known as Devil’s Ivy, symbolises vitality, growth and flowing prosperity with its golden variegated leaves. Its trailing vines create beautiful movement on shelves, in hanging baskets or reception areas. Exceptionally resilient and easy to care for, it thrives indoors in Australian conditions and handles summer heat well, making it perfect for busy homes and workplaces.
Lucky Bamboo Symbolises Blooming Wealth and Peaceful Blessings
Lucky Bamboo has long been associated with blooming wealth and peaceful blessings, making it one of the most recognisable plants during Lunar New Year. Its upright green stems symbolise steady growth and good news arriving at the door, which is why it’s such a traditional favourite for homes, offices and shop counters. Grown in water, it brings a refreshing, cooling visual that feels especially welcome during the height of the Australian summer. Easy to care for and beautifully simple, Lucky Bamboo is an ideal choice for anyone wanting meaningful festive decoration without the worry of constant watering or maintenance.
