Each Wednesday Aldi releases a list of its upcoming finds . And each Wednesday morning I scour the retailer's website, looking to see if there's anything that I want to add to my shopping list for next week. This time, it looks like I'll be stocking up on new houseplants.
That's because Aldi just released its upcoming Aisle of Shame (AOS) finds and there's a 5-Inch Money Tree on the list that I just have to have. The cute plant is not only a great accessory when it comes to updating your home decor, but there's also another symbolic reason why this plant makes the perfect addition to your home this time of year.
5-Inch Money Tree, $8.99 at Aldi

Aldi's 5-Inch Money Tree is a great find because adding live plants to your home can help improve air quality. Not only that, but this cute tree is also fun to look at thanks to its unique shape, which involves braiding multiple plants together to create the illusion of a thick bark with a lush green canopy of leaves above it.
And when you consider how affordable this find is—priced at just $8.99 it makes for a great impulse buy—it's clear why many people are going to want to nab one of these trees as soon as they hit shelves.
Speaking of hitting shelves, you'll have to wait until Sept. 9 to bring your money tree home, since that's when these plants are expected to arrive in stores.
Why Money Trees Are More Than Just a Pretty Plant
While I like money trees for their appearance, there's also a neat symbolism attached to these plants as well. According to Lively Root , these plants are believed to bring wealth, prosperity, and luck to the people who have them in their home. That's because people say that these trees attract positive energy.
And what's even better is that Lively Root says they are fairly easy to care for as well, which means that you won't need a green thumb in order to keep this one alive (I'm looking at you, prayer plant ).
