Grow a money tree in the living room: pay attention to this one thing and the leaves will be lush with no root rot
Feng shui is a very important part of traditional Chinese culture, and when growing plants at home, feng shui cannot be ignored either. Put them in the right spot, and not only will they attract wealth and good fortune, but the plants will also grow better. So where is the best spot to place plants in the home? Come take a look with Huahua!
Living room
Living room placement taboos:
The living room has a wide open view and bright light, and is the place for entertaining guests and daily activities, so it is best to choose broad-leaved foliage plants.
Huahua's recommendation 1: Money tree
Placement: the diagonal position 45° from the main door
The diagonal position 45° from the main door is the wealth position; placing a pot of money tree here can attract wealth and bring in treasure, adding prosperity to the home.
In summer, many friends like to close the windows and turn on the air conditioner. Over time, the water in the money tree's potting soil evaporates more slowly, making it prone to waterlogging and root rot, so after turning off the air conditioner be sure to open the windows and improve ventilation in the living room.
Huahua's recommendation: Bromeliad
Placement: next to the sofa or the TV
The bromeliad carries the meaning of bringing good luck, and placing it in the living room can add fortune and prosperity to the home. The bromeliad also has bright red flowers, adding a splash of color to the living room.
If there is not enough light, the bromeliad will fade in color, while too much light and poor ventilation will cause its leaves to scorch, so a living room with plenty of scattered light and good ventilation is very suitable for bromeliad growth.
Bedroom
Bedroom placement taboos:
The bedroom is where we rest and sleep, and it requires a fresh and quiet environment. So do not place strongly scented flowers, as this will excite the nerves of the occupants and affect sleep quality.
Huahua's recommendation: Snake plant
Placement: by the bedroom window
Placing a snake plant by a window with good light has the effect of attracting wealth. It can also purify the air in the bedroom, absorb toxic gases indoors, and benefit the health of the occupants.
The snake plant is highly adaptable to its environment; as long as you water it thoroughly when the potting soil is dry and open the windows for ventilation during the day, it will grow vigorously even in the bedroom!
Huahua's recommendation: Kalanchoe
Placement: dressing table
Kalanchoe symbolizes health and longevity, peace and good fortune, and after blooming it basically has no floral scent. Friends who find the bedroom too plain can place a few pots of kalanchoe as decoration.
Bedrooms generally face the sun, with plenty of light but no direct sunlight, making them very suitable for kalanchoe to get through the summer. Normally, just water thoroughly whenever you see the potting soil has dried out.
Study
Study placement taboos:
The study is a place for studying and reading; placing red-toned flowers will interfere with thinking, and strongly scented ones will affect study. It is best to choose green foliage plants, which can help relieve eye fatigue.
Huahua's recommendation: Asparagus fern
Placement: desk
The asparagus fern has jointed stems, and placing it on the desk symbolizes the owner's career and studies "rising step by step." If you place an asparagus fern grown in a hydroponic bottle, it also carries the meaning of "bamboo announcing peace."
The asparagus fern likes a semi-shaded environment, and studies generally do not have very good lighting, so it is very suitable for asparagus fern growth. Normally, just keep the potting soil slightly moist and occasionally spray a little water on the leaves.
Huahua's recommendation: Lucky bamboo
Placement: upper left corner of the desk
If someone in the family is progressing in their studies, you can place 4 stalks of hydroponic lucky bamboo in the upper left corner of the desk, which can help improve academic performance.
Lucky bamboo does not have high light requirements, and the scattered light environment of the study can meet its growth needs. To prevent its leaves from turning yellow, you can add a few drops of ferrous sulfate solution to the hydroponic bottle.
Balcony
Balcony placement taboos:
The balcony is the position in the home that directly faces the outside world. The light is good, but it is easily invaded by external evil influences, so specific flowers need to be placed to neutralize them.
Huahua's recommendation: Golden barrel cactus
Placement: balcony
The golden barrel cactus is covered in spines and has the effect of resisting external evil influences. If there are hospitals or corner streets around the home, you can place a few pots of golden barrel cactus on the balcony to neutralize them.
The golden barrel cactus likes places with plenty of light, and the balcony happens to meet that requirement. In summer, balcony temperatures are relatively high, so after watering be sure to open the windows for ventilation, otherwise the golden barrel cactus is prone to root rot.
Huahua's recommendation: Pennywort
Placement: by the balcony window
Pennywort leaves are round like little coins, symbolizing both reunion and abundant good fortune, as well as the beautiful meaning of rolling wealth.
The balcony has plenty of light, meeting pennywort's need for sunlight. As long as you water it promptly, pennywort will grow big and round, and both fortune and wealth will come!
Bathroom
Bathroom placement taboos:
The bathroom is the place in the home with the heaviest yin energy and the most moisture, so you need to place some shade-tolerant and high-humidity-tolerant green plants. Since most families' bathrooms are not very large, it is recommended to choose smaller plants.
Huahua's recommendation: Maidenhair fern
Placement: on the shelf & next to the bathtub
The maidenhair fern has the effect of warding off evil and countering negative energy. Placing a pot in the bathroom can neutralize the evil influences brought by the bathroom's excessive yin energy.
The maidenhair fern can absorb odors in the bathroom and purify the air. At the same time, the maidenhair fern has very low light requirements, and the dark, damp environment of the bathroom is simply its growth paradise!
Huahua's recommendation: Chinese evergreen
Placement: next to the sink
The Chinese evergreen symbolizes health and longevity, wealth and good fortune. If the bathroom in your home is located at a declining position, it is best to place a pot of hydroponic Chinese evergreen there, which can turn decline into auspiciousness and turn bad luck into good.
The highly humid environment of the bathroom is especially suitable for Chinese evergreen growth. Although the Chinese evergreen does not have high light requirements, if the bathroom has no light all year round, you need to regularly take the Chinese evergreen to a place with good light to sun it.
Kitchen
Kitchen placement taboos:
The kitchen is where the family cooks, and it must be clean and tidy; it is best not to place plants with pollen. At the same time, the kitchen has a strong cooking fume smell, so the plants placed there need to have a certain ability to purify the air.
Huahua's recommendation: Spider plant
Placement: on the cabinet
To save kitchen space, you can place the spider plant on the cabinet. The spider plant has a very strong ability to absorb toxic gases; placing 1 pot in the kitchen is like installing an air purifier.
Dry air and poor ventilation can easily cause the spider plant's leaf tips to dry out, so spray water on the spider plant leaves regularly and open the windows often for ventilation.
Huahua's recommendation: Peace lily
Placement: kitchen windowsill
The peace lily is also called "smooth sailing," symbolizing a smooth and successful family. Placing a pot of peace lily in the kitchen can remove unpleasant cooking fume odors and purify the air.
The peace lily has relatively high requirements for air humidity, so it is best to place a water-filled tray under the flowerpot, and you can also spray water on the leaves regularly to increase humidity.
