How should feng shui plants be placed in the home?
Plants can purify the air and also absorb formaldehyde. Besides these two features, they can also regulate the energy field. Next, let us take a look at how feng shui plants should be placed in the home!
How should plants be placed in the living room?
1. The shape of potted plants in the living room for feng shui
When choosing plants, pay special attention to the shape of the leaves. In living room feng shui, plants with pointed leaves generally produce toxins or sha qi, which is bad feng shui. It is better to choose plants with rounder stems and leaves, as the implication is that their potential energy carries good omens.
2. The color of potted plants in the living room for feng shui
Actually, when choosing plant colors, it is not only about green. Generally speaking, 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 is called a cold yin color, so plants of this color are best paired with brightly colored plants.
3. Flower arrangements with potted plants in the living room for feng shui
As for flower arrangements, the styling is even more particular. A good flower arrangement can reflect relatively high artistic charm and vitality, expressing the accumulated images of various flowers with a uniquely distinctive temperament. However, as flowers that are processed afterward, they cannot maintain the water and health of the original plant, and when they finally wither away, one saying in living room feng shui is that it symbolizes death and misfortune.
Kitchen plants affect physical health
Best plant recommendations: spider plant, begonia, impatiens, etc.
Regardless of the size of the space, the kitchen should have a potted plant. A good visual suggestion will determine the quality of our food and health, and also determine the fortune of the whole family. For smaller spaces, spider plants can be chosen; they have the effect of absorbing harmful gases and kitchen moisture. Other suitable plants include: begonia, impatiens, pothos, geranium, etc. Be careful to often place them in sunny places with ventilation, then put them back in their original place. This is beneficial to the plants' growth and metabolism.
Bathroom plants absorb household foul air
Best plant recommendations: ferns, weeping fig, etc.
The bathroom has high moisture, temperature differences, and odors. Placing suitable potted plants is not only beneficial to plant growth, but also beneficial to the family's health and fortune. For bathroom plants, ferns and weeping figs, pothos, and others that have the effect of absorbing foul air are most recommended.
Balcony plants make everything go smoothly for you
Best plant recommendations: cactus, dragon bone, evergreen, money tree, etc.
The balcony is a relatively open place in the home, with good ventilation and sufficient sunlight. It is suitable for placing all kinds of flowers and plants, but if they are to have feng shui functions, they still need to be carefully selected. They can broadly be divided into two major categories: promoting prosperity and dissolving sha.
Yang plants that have the effect of dissolving sha
In Daoist theory, yang is firm, outward-oriented, positive, expansive, compulsory, and confrontational.
If, looking out from the balcony or outside the main door, the surrounding environment is harsh, with nearby sharp corners aimed at the home, a street rushing straight at it, a street curving away in reverse, or if it faces a temple, hospital, graveyard, and so on, then it is necessary to place those yang plants in the home that can dissolve sha.
Plants that dissolve sha generally have thorns on their stems or leaves. Thorns can make external sha retreat and play a role in protecting the home.
Cactus: its stem is thick, fleshy, and often covered with hard fuzz and needles. Placed on the balcony, it can dissolve external sha invisibly.
Dragon bone: its stem grows upright and upward, like an upright dragon's backbone, full of strength, and has a powerful resistance effect against external sha.
Euphorbia neriifolia: it spreads horizontally, resembles a stone mountain, steadily and powerfully dissolves sha, and also has the effect of guarding the home.
Rose: although beautiful, it has thorns and is sternly inviolable. It is especially suitable for homes with more women.
Azalea: its flowers are auspicious and dense, and it has sharp thorns. It is easy to grow and is also an excellent sha-dissolving plant.
