Home flower placement - due east
The due east is where the rising sun first appears, and in the Five Elements it belongs to wood, symbolizing vitality and spiritual power. The person closely tied to this direction is the "eldest son" in the family. Therefore, if you place some plants with red flowers in the due east, it carries the meaning of "wood and fire shining together," and it will be of great help to the eldest son's wealth, career, and romantic luck. It is even more effective for students or people engaged in mental work.
Home flower placement - due west
The due west gathers the power of reform and innovation, belongs to metal in the Five Elements, and represents the youngest daughter in the family. Because this direction is also the primary romance position, in order to prevent girls from being doomed to bad romances, you must not place empty vases or overly brightly colored flowers here. Secondly, because earth can generate metal, placing some yellow flowers grown in soil here will benefit a girl's career. This is especially true for professions that "live by the mouth," such as lawyers and salespeople.
Home flower placement - due south
The south belongs to fire in the Five Elements and represents youth, beauty, and the power of inspiration. Therefore, this direction is suitable for a relatively wide variety of flowers, also because the south receives the most sunlight and is suitable for the growth of many neutral or sun-loving plants. Placing green foliage plants will enhance the beauty and charm of the female members of the household, while placing red flowers will help boost wealth luck.
In addition, if you place some orange-red warm-colored flowers in the south part of a shop, it will also increase the staff's friendliness.
Home flower placement - due north
The due north belongs to water in the Five Elements and symbolizes a kind and harmonious relationship: harmony between husband and wife and the proper way between father and son. Therefore, if there is a crisis in a marriage or romantic relationship, or if you feel your partner is not gentle and considerate enough toward you, you can place pink flowers in this direction. If the father-son relationship is tense or the relationship between superiors and subordinates is poor, you can place white flowers to ease it.
That is all for the introduction to the directions for placing home flowers and plants. When arranging flowers, there are also some other key points we need to pay attention to. For example, different flowers carry different flower meanings, and they cannot be used carelessly when placing them. Pink roses, for instance, represent first love, so if a husband and wife are not each other's first love, it may very likely cause misunderstanding. Also, in the dining room, you can place mother's flowers such as carnations to express gratitude for mother's hard work in managing the home.
