Introduction to plant feng shui

P l a n t F e n g S h u i

Feng shui is not superstition; it is one of China's traditional cultures, and it contains a great deal of knowledge within it. Modern China has undergone earth-shaking changes, and much traditional culture has also been damaged, so modern people can no longer see the full picture of feng shui studies. True feng shui studies should be all the knowledge that can be used in building a home, such as architecture, geological structure, architectural art, gardens, and urban planning.

In recent years, bonsai collecting has gradually gained popularity. Apart from preserving and increasing value, some collectors also believe that bonsai can bring good luck. Besides collectors and enthusiasts collecting bonsai, ordinary citizens playing with "bonsai" have also risen suddenly as a new force, and among them there is no lack of young people. But in the process of playing with bonsai, people often overlook one important function of it, namely the relationship between plants and feng shui. Plants are not only distinguished by color, but also have the theory of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the yin-yang five elements. In ancient China, feng shui studies advocated that courtyards should widely plant vegetation, flowers, and plants, believing that they have four major functions: "storing water, sheltering from wind, nurturing the earth's veins, and dissolving baleful energy, increasing prosperity and good fortune." In short, plant feng shui is a discipline that studies, from the perspective of feng shui, how to regulate feng shui through plants.

The classification of plants as auspicious or inauspicious

There is a choice when planting trees in courtyard ground. Feng shui studies believe that plants are divided into two categories: auspicious and inauspicious. There are two standards for classifying the inauspicious: first, whether they are divided based on whether they have toxic gas or toxic sap. Any tree with an irregular, unrefined appearance and abnormal development is inauspicious. Auspicious trees are determined according to plant characteristics, symbolic meaning, and even homophony, and in real life people tend to agree with this view.

Speaking of it, plants and feng shui are quite closely related, and this is mentioned in many ancient feng shui texts. The following are excerpts: "All trees facing the house are auspicious; those facing away from the house are inauspicious." "When the bamboo and trees on the four sides of a residence are green and lush, wealth will come."

In summary, it can be seen that traditional feng shui studies paid great attention to the types of trees near a residence as well as the locations where they are planted, mainly because it was believed that this would have a great influence on the feng shui of the home.

According to their feng shui uses, plants can be divided into two major categories: one is evergreen plants used to "generate prosperity," such as Buddhist pine, orange jasmine, boxwood, lucky bamboo, and sago palm; the other is thorny plants used to "dissolve baleful energy," such as cactus-type plants.  
The most auspicious bonsai tree species for the home include: pine, orange jasmine, boxwood, Buddhist pine, and sago palm,

Many friends who have just finished renovating a new home like to place some small green plants at home. Not only can they absorb the odors from renovation, they can also make the home look more vibrant, and they also promote the regulation of indoor air circulation. However, there are also taboos in placing plants, and I wonder if everyone knows about them. Next, the editor will introduce indoor bonsai feng shui.

1. Potted plants cannot be placed in the same line as the kitchen, let alone directly facing the kitchen, because the kitchen belongs to fire, and when fire energy is excessive, it easily causes potted plants to turn yellow and lack water.

2. Leafy potted plants should be placed in places with ample sunlight, as this can make the yang energy of the house sufficient. And if a plant turns yellow and lacks water, it should be pruned immediately, cutting away the yellowed stems and leaves. This will reduce the yin energy of the house and increase the homeowner's fortune.

3. Climbing vine plants and cacti should not be placed in the home, because these two types of plants are too sharp in terms of fortune and often cause the homeowner to have quarrels, reduced luck, and unnecessary disputes and troubles.

4. It is best not to place potted plants in the bedroom. The bedroom is the place where the homeowner most often moves about, and the health requirements there are very high. Different plants have different effects on people's constitutions, and if the wrong plants are chosen, the harm to health can be considerable. In addition, potted plants belong to yin and are not suitable for placement in the bedroom, otherwise they can easily add to bad luck.

5. The choice of potted plants also requires great attention. More leafy potted plants should be placed, because large leaves attract wealth. On the contrary, fewer potted plants in the style of wooden stakes should be placed, because that will cause the family to lose wealth and lead to the outflow of fertile water.

6. Night-blooming jasmine, sensitive plant, lilies, and orchids should also not be placed in the home. Night-blooming jasmine releases a large amount of exhaust gas at night; the sensitive plant is a toxic plant, and frequent contact by people can cause hair loss; while lilies and orchids release a rich fragrance that stimulates people's nerves, causing the homeowner to suffer from insomnia at night due to excitement.

7. When choosing the color of potted plants, we often have many choices. Generally, from the perspective of color harmony and balance, red and yellow, which carry strong yang energy, are both lucky colors. Red is generally placed in the south, while the best position for yellow is the southwest and northeast. In feng shui, white and blue are called cold yin colors, so plants of these colors are best paired with brightly colored plants.

8. For residents on higher floors, because sunlight is too abundant, it is more suitable to grow sun-loving potted plants, such as bougainvillea, osmanthus, banana shrub, gardenia, jasmine, orchid tree, cactus, globe cactus, ixora, and variegated hibiscus. For these plants, when placing flower pots it is best to choose a southeast orientation, because the time of direct sunlight here is the most suitable. For residents on lower floors, it is best to grow shade-tolerant plants such as orchids, azaleas, asparagus fern, spider plant, and camellia.

Monstera deliciosa is a green plant with a graceful plant shape and peculiarly shaped leaves, and it is a famous indoor potted foliage plant. Decorating a room with a pot of Monstera deliciosa indoors can have many effects. Below let us look at what the specific functions of Monstera deliciosa are:

1. Decorative function

From the large living room to the small corridor, its elegant and charming temperament can provide a setting and accent, and it has strong ornamental value.

2. Improving indoor air

This is a plant that purifies the air and can effectively absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde indoors. According to data, it can very well eliminate 80% of harmful gases, and it is especially suitable for interiors that have just finished renovation. On ordinary nights, it can absorb the carbon dioxide exhaled by people, preserve it in the form of organic acids, and then decompose it again during the day for photosynthesis. Its advantage is that it will not create a situation of competing with people for oxygen at night, and instead improves the sleeping environment.

3. Edibility

Monstera deliciosa is a flowering plant and can bear fruit. The ripe berries are sweet, and their fresh fragrance is like banana or pineapple. They can be eaten as fruit and can also be used in cooking. The inflorescence and bracts can likewise be eaten.

4. Feng shui function

For placing Monstera deliciosa at home, attention must be paid to the location, namely: in the north, the place of the water element of Ren and Gui, use Monstera deliciosa as the Dark Warrior. Specifically, placing Monstera deliciosa at the study door can increase official luck and add fortune and emolument. Placing Monstera deliciosa in an elderly person's bedroom can add fortune and longevity and benefit the elderly.

The diagonal corner from the living room entrance, from the perspective of feng shui surveying, should be the fixed wealth position of the home. The wealth position needs to be mutually generating and thriving, thereby drawing the small home toward prosperity. It is best to plant some broad-leaf plants at the wealth position, as this can gather wealth and vitality. The Monstera deliciosa beside the sofa, fortunately, I care for it with my heart. Whenever there is a rest day, I use a cloth to gently wipe away the dust on it. I remember, in the autumn of last year, I brought this pot of Monstera deliciosa home from Wanxiang Flowers, lush and green, ready to be replaced.

In addition, the arrangement of the living room wealth position is also very important. With wealth, all things go smoothly. A lush bonsai set off against the wealth position can make fortune even better. The flowers and leaves of the bonsai must be round and large, with plants such as the money tree and Monstera deliciosa being especially best, because such plants symbolize the owner's positive, upward, optimistic, and enterprising attitude toward life. Moreover, the height of the vase is best above half the height of the house.

5. Matching with home style

The Chinese-style decorative style advocates solemnity and elegance, and emphasizes symmetrical beauty. The colors are mainly red and black, rich and mature. The quiet and elegant atmosphere is suitable for placing noble plant elements of ancient gentlemen. Chinese-style ornamental plants emphasize "observing their leaves, appreciating their forms," and it is suitable to place soil-attached potted plants at home. Placing a pot of twisted pomegranate with old roots coiling at a screen partition, or placing a winter plum at the entrance, can both bring the Chinese style to the extreme. Chinese people seek squareness and stability, so the broad-leaved Monstera deliciosa exactly embodies this kind of charm.

The "kitchen garden," which is increasingly popular in horticulture, can also be expressed in daily life through floral art. This ever-intensifying pastoral style is sweeping across various home decoration styles. Those common floral materials and natural ingredients, through clever conception and creative design, form exquisite, practical, and highly approachable combinations of flowers and vegetables. Monstera deliciosa has broad, thick, and large leaves. Usually it plays the role of the finishing touch and highlights the theme for other floral materials or home decorations, but it will not overshadow the host.
