Why shouldn't peonies be kept at home?

1. Inconvenient to grow

The peony's root system is complex, and as the branches and leaves grow larger, the roots grow larger too, so it needs a very large pot to provide enough living space. It has a great demand for nutrients, so the soil must be changed once every six months. Peonies like sun, and only with plenty of sunlight will the flowers bloom well. Given all these conditions it needs to survive, an ordinary household can hardly meet them, so peonies are not suitable to keep.

2. Energy field too strong

The peony's energy field is very powerful, and if kept at home without being able to harness it, it can easily bring unfavorable influences to the family. Besides actual plants, even items bearing peony patterns are unsuitable to place at home, such as embroidered patterns with peonies or ornaments with peony designs; none of these should be casually placed in the home.

3. Placement taboos

The placement of peonies in the home is very particular, and for people who don't understand feng shui, it is easy to place them wrongly. If you accidentally place them in the wrong spot, it will affect the household's fortune.

When placing peonies, it is best to put them in the south and north of the home. In the five elements, the peony belongs to wood; the north is a water direction, and water can generate wood, so it should be kept facing north. The south is a fire direction, and wood can generate fire, so keeping it facing south can nourish the family's fortune. When placing it, it must not be put in the west, because the west is metal, and metal overcomes wood; if it is kept in the west, it will affect the family's health.
