Feng Shui Taboos for Placing Potted Plants and Vases in the Living Room

  Many friends who have just finished renovating their new homes like to place some small green plants at home. Not only can they absorb the odors from renovation, but they can also make the home look more vibrant, and they also help promote the circulation and regulation of indoor air. However, placing potted plants also has taboos, and I do not know whether everyone is aware of them. What should be noted when placing these potted plants in the living room?

  1. Cold-colored potted plants should not be placed

  In Feng Shui, cold colors generally refer to white and blue, which give people a feeling of arrogance and solitary purity. In fact, plants in cold color tones are all very beautiful, but they are not suitable to be placed alone indoors. From the perspective of daily life, the layout of a general living room is mainly based on elegant and light colors, and although white and blue are cold-tone plants, they are also fresh and elegant. Although the pairing and coordination of plain colors work, they do not serve as an ornament for the indoor space; instead, they make the plain colors overly cumbersome. From the perspective of Feng Shui, white and blue plants are relatively cold and gloomy, bringing a cold and gloomy energy to the residence. What people need to come into contact with in life is yang energy, so red and yellow potted plants are suitable for placement in the living room. Of course, cold-tone plants such as white and blue can also be used as a pairing beneath brightly colored plants. In this way, not only are the colors bright and beautiful, but the balance of yin and yang also makes them very suitable for indoor placement.

  2. Potted plants with pointed leaves should not be placed

  Among potted plants, quite a few are called auspicious Feng Shui plants and are very suitable for placement in homes or offices. However, plants with pointed leaves are suitable for placement in outdoor spaces such as courtyards and balconies at home, and are not suitable for placement in the living room. Plants with pointed leaves have a counteracting effect on negative energy for the people living at home, and are not beneficial to a person's fortune or health. On the contrary, outdoors they have the effect of counteracting negative energy. Therefore, the potted plants most suitable for indoor placement in the living room are preferably round-leaved plants, such as: pennywort, money tree, orchid, and so on. They are all round-leaved Feng Shui auspicious plants with the symbolism of wealth and prosperity. Round-leaved plants all express the meaning of completeness and fulfillment, so they are ornaments with good omens.
