Is Aspidistra suitable for growing indoors in the living room?

  The benefits of growing an Aspidistra (cast iron plant) indoors are self-evident, but its placement requires careful consideration, not only to avoid affecting the indoor feng shui, but also to look harmonious and attractive. So, can an Aspidistra be placed in the living room? The answer is yes.

  Usually, when a toilet is directly opposite or beside the living room or dining room of a home, placing a potted Aspidistra between the living room and the toilet is ideal. On one hand, it can absorb the negative energy brought by the toilet and help purify the air; on the other hand, it can block unfavorable magnetic fields and ensure the physical and mental health of the family. Of course, when placing it in the living room, you also need to move the plant to a cool, ventilated spot every few months to keep the leaves clean and avoid the family being affected by stale energy.

  Of course, placing a potted Aspidistra in the correct position in the living room can improve the corresponding feng shui.

  1. Place the Aspidistra in front of the hallway

  Place the potted Aspidistra in front of the hallway of the living room to block the negative energy of the hallway. If your seat happens to be directly in line with the hallway, you can place a broad-leaved potted plant such as an Aspidistra beside the hallway to block the negative energy of the hallway. Of course, there is no need to overly control the height of the Aspidistra's growth; it only needs to just block the line of sight when a person is seated.

  2. Place the Aspidistra beside the sofa

  If there are large home appliances in front of or behind the sofa or seat, it is recommended to place the Aspidistra beside the sofa, which can effectively block the negative energy brought by the household appliances. However, it is also recommended to move the plant to a balcony where it can receive sufficient light for care after 2-3 months to promote photosynthesis; otherwise, because the plant is often together with large appliances, the radiation from the appliances will cause the plant to wilt and droop.

  3. Place the Aspidistra in a corner of the living room

  Generally, households place a trash can beside the sofa. If a pot of Aspidistra is also placed beside it, this will block the bad energy brought by the trash can and help purify the air, while also often reminding the owner to dispose of the trash in the can in time.
