Feng shui plants are one of the simplest ways of bringing prosperity and positive energy in the house. Chinese Feng Shui links plants to the source of positive feelings and hopes. There are many different Feng Shui plants having different effects on your personal lives. Selection of plants and the location of the Feng Shui plants are very important to get the desired results. Most of the Feng Shui plants are classified depending on their energy and effect.
Plants are divided according to the
five
elements of Feng Shui. Plants representing the wood element
are considered appropriate for modification and movement. Fire plants
like the sunflower or the daisy are a symbol of beauty and humor.
Earth plants like the Clematis are known to bring stability and
peace. Metal plants like the Pampas Grass bring strength and resilience.
And Aquatic plants like the Summer Aster are the representation
of strong will and seriousness. Below are mentioned some of the
most common reasons of adding Feng Shui plants to your household.
Add Vitality
Having indoor Feng Shui plants is one of the simplest ways to improve the complete vitality of your living space. Live plants bring the energy of the nature and add leafy patterns and branches to the interior space of the house.
Encourage Luck
Feng Shui plants are a strong representation of the wood element and add wealth
and fame to the family areas.
Lucky
bamboo and jade plants are especially known to bring good luck
to the house. If you want to bring prosperity as well then one can
place nine coins at the bottom of a houseplant, under the soil in
the wealth areas of the house like the living room, kitchen or the
office.
Counteract Sha Chi
Feng Shui plants can be placed in front of sharp angles and corner and give protection from harmful energy or sha chi. In your workplace if your desk is in the path of chi then a small indoor plant placed on the far side of the desk between you and the door will protect you from all the negative energy. Tall plants with a vertical shape can curtail the negative chi to a large extent.
Absorb Excessive Water Chi
If there are parts of the house with excessive water chi then Feng Shui plants are a very good solution to balance the energy, especially in the rooms like the bathroom and the laundry room. Tall plants with vertical shape are best for this purpose. Feng Shui plants like the ivies and other trailing plants are to be avoided in bathrooms, as they tend to grow in a downward direction. Feng Shui plants and shrubbery can be used around swimming pools or in positions of fame and relationships.
