An Analysis of the Relationship Between Home Potted Plants, Bonsai and Feng Shui
In feng shui it is often said that where the land is good, the seedlings flourish, and the same holds true inside a home. Friends who do not understand feng shui can observe the feng shui field of their own home through plants. If a plant placed in a certain spot in your home cannot survive, it means that spot lacks sufficient life energy, and the owner can then make adjustments according to the actual situation.
Windows:
Suitable for placing water-grown plants or tall-stemmed plants, such as water-grown lucky bamboo, evergreen, money tree, or tall sago palm, money ficus, and so on. Because these places generally have wind and relatively strong air circulation, growing some tall plants or aquatic plants helps maintain the balance of humidity and temperature in the room.
Living room:
Suitable for growing English ivy, fig, pitcher plant and common aloe. The living room is a place where people come and go, and these plants can not only deal with bacteria and small insects brought in from outside, but can even absorb dust that is hard for a vacuum cleaner to reach.
Dressing table, desk:
The leaves of the ornamental orchid cycle through changes with temperature, from green to white to pink to peach red, and finally back to green. Placed beside the owner's desk, it can cultivate the temperament. In addition, highly ornamental plants such as dawn redwood and orchid grass are also suitable for placement here.
Passageway:
It is best to hang some vine-type water-grown plants, such as pothos, green spirit, English ivy, and so on. These plants are relatively easy to shape, and passageways are generally very well ventilated, making them the best growing environment for these plants.
Bathroom:
The leaves of snake plant can absorb water vapor from the air on their own, making it an ideal choice for bathrooms and shower rooms. English ivy can purify the air and kill bacteria, and since it is a shade-tolerant plant, it can also be placed in the restroom. Ferns and pepper elder plants like moisture, so they may be placed beside the bathtub.
Bedroom:
Suitable for placing some flowers and plants that can absorb carbon dioxide and other waste gases, such as potted citrus, rosemary, spider plant, zebra plant, and so on. Their scent is not strong, so they will not make people dizzy. Large-leaved, water-loving plants such as pothos can also be grown in the bedroom to keep air humidity at an optimal level.
Kitchen:
Spider plant and pothos have fairly strong effects in purifying air and driving away mosquitoes and insects, making them the obvious choice in the kitchen, and they can also be placed on top of the refrigerator.
In addition, different floors are also suitable for growing different plants. For residents on lower floors, it is best to grow shade-tolerant plants such as orchids, azaleas, asparagus fern, spider plant, camellia, and so on. For residents on higher floors, because sunlight is too abundant, it is more suitable to grow some sun-loving plants, such as bougainvillea, osmanthus, banana shrub, gardenia, jasmine, orchid tree, cactus, ball cactus, Chinese ixora, variegated hibiscus, and so on. For these plants, when placing flower pots it is best to choose a southeast orientation, because the duration of direct sunlight here is the most suitable.
