Plant Feng Shui Knowledge: Feng Shui Rules for Placing Plants in the Kitchen

  The kitchen is the place in the home where cooking fumes and odors are strongest. Placing suitable plants in the kitchen can beautify the environment, purify the air, benefit people's health, and also change the owner's fortune for the year.

  From this it can be seen that the feng shui of placing plants in the kitchen also has its rules.

  1. Place wealth-attracting plants suited to the kitchen

  Wealth-attracting plants for the kitchen include spider plant, begonia, bromeliad, pothos, and geranium.

  2. Red in the east, green in the south, red in the west, orange in the north brings wealth

  If your kitchen is in the south, placing foliage plants such as pothos helps with saving money and reduces the tendency to spend recklessly; if it is in another direction, placing red flowers on the table or near the refrigerator is beneficial for health and attracting wealth; if the kitchen is in the west, you should place golden-yellow flowers, narcissus, or pansies by the window, which not only blocks the sinister energy of the setting sun but also brings wealth luck; and when it is in the north, you should place pink and orange flowers, which can add vitality to the room and gather wealth and blessings.

  3. Noble plants are not suitable for placement in the kitchen

  The kitchen is not suitable for placing plants such as orchids and bird of paradise.

  The kitchen is usually relatively small, and the kitchen has a lot of cooking fumes and high temperatures, so it is not suitable for placing large potted plants and some delicate, hard-to-grow varieties. Placing large potted plants easily blocks the channel of the kitchen's wealth luck, while delicate varieties are not easy to keep alive in the kitchen and easily spoil the kitchen's feng shui, leading to loss of wealth.

  Because there are relatively large floating particles and smoke dust in the kitchen, here are several plants recommended for placement in the kitchen, such as orchids, osmanthus, wintersweet, caladium, and red-back gui, which are natural dust collectors; their fine hairs can intercept and absorb the floating particles and smoke dust in the air.

  Placing some plants in the kitchen not only purifies the air and improves the mood of the person cooking, letting you make excellent dishes, but can also boost the kitchen's feng shui and increase wealth luck.
