A pot of flowers at home: placement matters a lot. Get it right and it nourishes the people and protects the home, bringing endless good luck.
As people's living standards improve, many like to keep a pot of flowers at home. It beautifies the room and cultivates the mind, and some potted plants even purify the air. Especially when you watch the plants you grew yourself fill the pot and burst into bloom, that sense of achievement really makes you happy. But did you know? Keeping flowers at home actually involves many finer points, especially the placement of indoor potted plants. Since ancient times, China has had the concept of home feng shui, and flower lovers should not ignore the feng shui taboos of growing flowers either. Next, let's briefly talk about the placement of flowers in the home. I hope you enjoy it!
A pot of flowers at home: "placement" matters a lot. Do it right and it "nourishes the people" and "protects the home", bringing endless good luck.
1. Money Tree
The money tree (Pachira aquatica) is a foliage plant that everyone loves. It is easy to care for and its name has an auspicious meaning, so many people place one at home. But many people just put it anywhere after buying it, which is actually not ideal.
According to feng shui, the money tree should not be placed where it blocks the way. First, it obstructs the passage and makes it inconvenient to walk through. Second, placing the money tree this way means blocking wealth from entering and shutting wealth out the door, so it should only be placed in a corner.
Place the money tree at a 45-degree angle opposite the living room door, because according to feng shui this spot is the home's wealth position and can generate wealth, so placing the money tree there is more suitable.
The money tree needs bright, indirect light and good ventilation. Generally, water it thoroughly once every 15-20 days, and apply green-leaf fertilizer 1-2 times a month. If the money tree blooms in December or July, it means you are very likely to receive an unexpected windfall.
2. Clivia
Clivia (Clivia miniata) is best placed in the bedroom. Everyone knows the bedroom is where a person rests, and in home feng shui the bedroom is a very important place for nourishing people. If your bedroom is decorated too flashily or holds potted plants that compete too much for people's oxygen, then it cannot be called nourishing. So placing a pot of clivia in the bedroom is most suitable, because clivia can purify the air and absorb impurities in the air. A pot of clivia in the bedroom not only helps reverse bad fortune but also brings a calm and peaceful state of mind.
Clivia placed in the living room or entryway can also play a role in attracting wealth. Putting clivia in this position is like welcoming auspiciousness and goodness into the home every day, which can greatly help attract wealth and welcome joy. Over time, happy events come one after another and good luck arrives at your home!
3. Happiness Tree
The happiness tree, also called the bean tree (Radermachera sinica) or snake tree, grows in valleys or open thin forests on flat ground. It is often also a landscape plant in flower markets. Therefore, it is a common tree in home decoration too. It not only plays a role in decorating the environment but also has a certain effect in feng shui, able to attract fortune and dissolve negative energy for the owner.
As for placing it at home, we had best put it on the balcony or in the living room, because the happiness tree has dense, emerald leaves full of lively energy and can serve as a plant that boosts prosperity. It also carries the meaning of bringing happiness to people, so it is even more beneficial for our home.
Generally speaking, in feng shui, living room and balcony plants that boost prosperity are tall and sturdy; the thicker, larger and greener, the better. So everyone can choose a large, sturdy happiness tree.
4. Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana), as the name suggests, represents health and longevity, peace and good fortune, and abundant longevity and wealth. Its plant form is compact and petite, suitable for placing at home, on the balcony and in the living room.
Placing kalanchoe indoors, such as on the coffee table or dining table, not only beautifies the space and improves the environment but also carries very good feng shui meaning, blessing family members with health, longevity, happiness and well-being.
And when placed in the living room, it is very suitable for receiving relatives and friends. It can also add a festive winter holiday atmosphere and bring the family a blessing and warmth from the flowers.
