What effect does keeping a pothos (Epipremnum aureum) at home have on home style?
As a large green plant, pothos, like the spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) and the Vinca (Catharanthus roseus), can absorb formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from the air, making it the most eco-friendly air purifier. For a newly renovated house, placing a pot of pothos is more suitable than anything else. Rumors online say that pothos is not some feng shui treasure and has no effect on the home's feng shui, but that is actually not the case. Pothos does have an influence on home style.

At home, pothos is usually placed in the living room, hallway, dining room or balcony. It does not bring anything unlucky, nor does it compete with us for oxygen. It can absorb harmful substances in the air, such as strange gases or kitchen fumes, and absorb the formaldehyde and trichloroethylene released after a new home is renovated.
Place a few, or even more, pothos plants indoors and let them absorb the harmful gases inside. After leaving them for a period of time, then move in to live. From this perspective, pothos has already blocked a lot of toxic substances for us, and its role has far exceeded a purely feng shui function.
Pothos can invite wind and let the indoor space ventilate and breathe. Saying this may confuse everyone, because plants themselves also respire, absorbing carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen. Pothos is generally placed by the window. When it is too windy outside, it blocks some of it. If there is no wind, it will itself release new oxygen. The oxygen enters the space we live in, making us more energetic and making the indoor air fresher.
On the surface, the role of pothos is very simple, but these are all things that are always related to our home health. Some plants are said to bring this or that kind of auspicious feng shui, but that only numbs us spiritually. We must uphold scientific ideas and look for the correct source of feng shui.
