There is an art to placing flowers in the home; put them in the right 6 spots and you boost both fortune and lush growth

In cities of steel and concrete, no matter how well a home is decorated, it always needs flowers to add that finishing touch, instantly filling it with life and giving people a comfortable, relaxed feeling. But when placing flowers in different spots indoors, you must remember never to place them just anywhere. The spots in a home are generally divided into "prosperous positions" and "declining positions." In prosperous positions, place some "life-boosting" plants, such as evergreens with green leaves and broad-leafed flowers: lucky bamboo (Aglaonema), anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum), cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum), and so on. These plants have a fairly restrained energy, and can generate wealth, boost fortune, and absorb and neutralize stale indoor air. Of course, from a botanical standpoint, these broad-leafed plants can effectively purify indoor air and are greatly beneficial to human health.

In declining positions, it is best to choose plants that dissolve negative energy, such as the common cacti and cactus balls, these spiny flowers. Placing them in declining positions can dissolve negative energy and ward off bad luck. That said, the most important thing is still to distinguish clearly between the different types of directions and the flowers suited to being placed and grown in each. If you mix them up and misplace them over the long term, not only will they fail to boost fortune and dissolve negative energy, the plants' growth will also be affected and they will be in poor condition.

Entryway

The indoor entryway counts as a prosperous position, so naturally you should place some life-boosting plants there. Placing money tree (Pachira aquatica), sago palm (Cycas revoluta), lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana), golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) and other fortune-boosting plants in the entryway will make the auspicious even more auspicious and help the inauspicious avoid misfortune. The plants placed in the entryway must stay evergreen through all four seasons; if yellow leaves appear, prune them off promptly.

Living room

The living room is the main place for entertaining guests in the home, so it is naturally very important. Placing cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum), lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana), Buddhist pine (Podocarpus macrophyllus), elephant ear (Alocasia macrorrhizos), dragon blood tree (Dracaena cinnabari), money tree (Pachira aquatica), and Ming aralia (Polyscias fruticosa) in the living room can bring the host good fortune and harmony and gather wealth. Of course, the living room's good ventilation and lighting also make a good environment for these plants, so they can grow lush and thick.

Kitchen

For flowers in the kitchen: no flowers won't do, but too many flowers is even worse. The kitchen counts as an auspicious position, and its space is somewhat smaller than other spots, while the air contains more particles and dust. So keeping flowers in the kitchen is not about quantity; you can place small caladium (Caladium bicolor), azalea (Rhododendron simsii), and English ivy (Hedera helix), which can effectively absorb dust, cooking fumes and similar substances.

Bathroom

Many people say the bathroom is not suitable for keeping flowers, though this may have to do with each family's home. Generally, a bathroom can accommodate some potted plants, and the principle for choosing flowers is: shade-tolerant and moisture-loving. Plants like lucky bamboo (Aglaonema) and maidenhair fern (Adiantum) are suited to growing in such an environment.

Bedroom

The bedroom is where everyone rests, and what it needs is a quiet, elegant atmosphere, so choose some gentler plants, such as peacock plant (Calathea makoyana), pothos (Epipremnum aureum), moth orchid (Phalaenopsis), calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica), clivia (Clivia miniata), asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus), and gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides), which can help people relax. But it is advisable not to place strongly fragrant plants in the bedroom, like lilies and tulips; their scent is too strong and easily makes the nerves excited, which can easily lead to insomnia.

Study

The study is where a person focuses and gathers their thoughts, and it is also the place that gives a home its final touch of scholarly elegance. It is suggested you can keep: asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus), mangosteen flower, and lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana), which can help one focus and feel at ease.

Now that you know which flowers should be kept in each spot, there is one thing to note when growing them, and it is also a common misunderstanding many people have: since these flowers are suited to being placed in the corresponding spots and positions, should they stay in that spot forever? Of course not. To let plants grow healthily, regularly moving their position, such as putting them on the balcony to increase light and airflow, is necessary. Only then will the plants be sturdy, lush, and evergreen.
