Whether your home's feng shui brings fortune or poverty, the ancestors said it all comes down to this potted flower

Tree Peony

Symbolism: The tree peony is the national beauty of China, symbolizing a wealthy and harmonious family. It is suitable for growing both in the yard and indoors.

Suitable placement: Tree peonies are suited to the north or south position; both north and south are open wealth positions, and growing a pot of tree peony there can bring out its auspicious meaning to the fullest. A pot in the living room can also harmonize family relationships and strengthen the bond between family members.

Taboo: Avoid growing it in dark corners or in the west position.

Orchid

Symbolism: The orchid is the most common feng shui flower, mainly symbolizing success in studies (career) and quick, clever thinking. Keeping orchids at home can also delight the mood and cultivate character and taste.

Suitable placement: Orchids are suited to the study or a spot near a desk or books, mainly the south and southeast, so that both studies and career thrive.

Taboo: Yellow leaves are a taboo for orchids. Usually mist the leaves more often to raise air humidity, and prune off any yellow leaves immediately.

Money Tree

Symbolism: The money tree mainly symbolizes gathering wealth, but many gardening friends don't know how to place it, so much so that it doesn't even survive 1 month, let alone boost their fortune.

Suitable placement: Money trees are generally kept indoors, best placed in the south or north corner directly diagonal from the house door, or in the southeast corner of the room. These are all wealth positions that can gather wealth.

Taboo: Do not let the money tree get close to the bathroom or kitchen, or sit under a roof beam.

Osmanthus

Symbolism: "Gui" in osmanthus sounds like "noble" (gui), so keeping osmanthus at home makes it easy to receive help from noble people. There are many varieties of osmanthus, and golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus and red osmanthus each have their own attributes.

Suitable placement: For small osmanthus plants, by variety: golden osmanthus can boost the household's kitchen stove; silver osmanthus suits smokers; red osmanthus suits calm, introverted people.

Taboo: Large osmanthus plants should best not be too close to the house; they are suited to the doorway, symbolizing noble people arriving at your door.

Pomegranate Tree

Symbolism: The pomegranate symbolizes attracting wealth and warding off evil, and the fruit tree can be large or small, suitable for most households to grow.

Suitable placement: Best planted in the yard or on the east side of the doorway, in a sunny position.

Taboo: Do not place it near doors or windows; the pomegranate nourishes people, so do not pick the fruit at will after it sets - wait until they are fully ripe before picking.

Peach Tree

Symbolism: Peach wood carries the meaning of warding off evil, as everyone knows. Keeping one at home not only guards the house and drives away evil, but also gives you fruit to eat - two benefits in one.

Suitable placement: Peach trees are suited to the southeast, southwest and south of the house, able to suppress bad energy and boost the vitality of the home.

Taboo: Not suitable for planting in the middle of the yard, as it easily stirs up trouble.

Persimmon Tree

Symbolism: The persimmon tree symbolizes "everything going as you wish," and in autumn the tree full of persimmons is also vibrant and prosperous. Many people in northern regions plant persimmons in their yards - do gardening friends remember this?

Suitable placement: Just plant it in the four corners of the yard, or plant 2 for the meaning of "good things come in pairs."

Taboo: Do not have it facing the house door or main gate, and it is best not to plant it together with pomegranate, as that easily causes quarrels in the home.

Bamboo

Symbolism: It is often said that bamboo reports peace; bamboo carries the meaning of protecting the home and its grounds. Legend has it that when bamboo burns it crackles loudly, which can drive away evil. That is why Chinese people have long had the habit of keeping bamboo at home.

Suitable placement: Suited to the left and right sides of the yard, or behind the house, able to balance yin and yang in the home and protect the household's peace.

Taboo: Bamboo belongs to yin, so by no means grow it in the middle of the yard or directly facing the main gate.

Pagoda Tree

Symbolism: The pagoda tree is a common tree in rural areas and is said to carry the meaning of "soothing the soul," but it has fairly heavy yin energy. Planted in the right spot, it can protect the family's health and longevity and the continuation of descendants.

Suitable placement: It is recommended to grow it slightly to the left or right directly in front of the yard, taking care not to be too close to the main house so it does not block the home.

Taboo: The pagoda tree should not be too close to the house, because it grows fast and its branches easily block the sunlight, making the house dark and unfavorable for family life.
