Eight Feng Shui Methods for Wealth and Luck with Plants: Placing Wealth-Bringing and Family-Prospering Plants at Home and the Taboos

Growing some plants at home and placing them properly will fill the house with vitality and bring good luck and happy events. Below, let us explore this in detail.

1. The living room, joy for the whole family

The living room is the face of the home, the place where the whole family and close friends gather. You can place some fruit-bearing plants or wealth-attracting plants, such as the money tree (Pachira aquatica), the "smooth sailing" plant, and the clivia (Clivia miniata), representing abundant fruits and rolling wealth for the household, bringing a warm atmosphere to the living room. At the same time, note that if plants drop leaves, wilt, or rot, they should be replaced promptly.

2. The bedroom, harmony between husband and wife

The layout of the bedroom affects harmony between husband and wife, physical health, and family happiness. If some plants are placed appropriately in the bedroom, they can increase the vitality of the space and also purify the air. Bedroom plants should not be too large or too many; you should choose plants that make people feel cozy, such as snake plant (Sansevieria) and spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum).

3. The study, improving efficiency

Placing some small, delicate plants in appropriate spots in the study will have an ornamental and decorative effect, adding a touch of elegant and peaceful atmosphere to the study; studying becomes more relaxed, your mood is good, and efficiency is high. You can choose elegant plants such as Wenchang bamboo and lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana).

4. The dining room, adding ambiance

For the dining room environment, cleanliness and hygiene should first be considered. When plants are in harmony with the dining table setting, meals will have a special charm and appetite will increase. Plants should also mainly be clean varieties with no unusual odor, such as yellow carnations and yellow roses.

5. The entryway, beneficial to career and wealth

The entryway symbolizes the family's future development potential and is inseparable from the family's career and wealth luck. Plants placed at the entryway should mainly be evergreen plants, such as sago palm (Cycas revoluta), money tree (Pachira aquatica), golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), and weeping fig (Ficus benjamina); however, thorny plants such as cacti and roses and azaleas must never be placed at the entryway, lest they damage the wealth energy there.

6. The romance position, increasing love luck

For friends born in the years of the Rat, Dragon, or Monkey, the romance position is due west; for friends born in the years of the Ox, Snake, or Rooster, the romance position is due south; for friends born in the years of the Tiger, Horse, or Dog, the romance position is due east; for friends born in the years of the Rabbit, Goat, or Pig, the romance position is due north. Placing plants in this position can enhance your love luck. Peach blossoms, violets, lilies, peonies, orchids, roses, and lotuses are all good choices; be sure not to place climbing vine plants.

7. The wealth position, increasing wealth luck

The wealth position is generally at the top of the diagonal line from the living room entrance; if the residence door is on the right side, the wealth position is on the left diagonal. Correctly placing plants in the direction of the wealth position will greatly increase wealth luck. Plants with large or round leaves, such as golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), rubber tree (Ficus elastica), money tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), and Brazilian ironwood (Caesalpinia ferrea), are most suitable; thorny cactus-type plants should not be grown.

8. About spiky plants

Friends whose love life is not going smoothly should not place spiky plants, such as cacti and cactus balls, because these plants with pointed tips and thorns can affect love luck and easily lead to quarrels and discord.

However, in Feng Shui, spiky plants can neutralize the negative energy of surrounding buildings. For example, if from the living room window you see the pointed corner of a building across the way rushing toward your home, you can place a cactus ball on the living room balcony to block it.
