What tree is planted at the door?
In traditional Feng Shui, the choice of garden plants is not only related to beauty, but also carries the important mission of prospering the town's house. This article selects six auspicious tree species and combines scientific conservation with feng shui culture to help you create a long-lasting courtyard landscape. 1. Analysis of the classic town houses and prosperous plants: The camphor tree, the thousand-year-old tree, is the first of the four major town houses in Jiangnan. Its special aroma contains natural camphor ingredients and can repel insects (F-Y). Feng Shui believes that its crown is like a canopy, which can gather the aura of heaven and earth, and is especially suitable for planting in the southeast. During maintenance, attention should be paid to maintaining a spacing of more than 5 meters and regularly trimming the lower branches to ensure ventilation. Pomegranate trees: Pomegranate trees are suitable for northern courtyards to enjoy flowers in spring and fruits in autumn. It is recommended to use the compost pit method when planting, and bury decomposed organic fertilizer at the bottom of the planting hole. Feng Shui layout should be placed in the southwest Kun position to symbolize family harmony. Pay attention to cold prevention in winter. It is recommended to wrap tree trunks with straw ropes in northern areas. Podocarpine: The modeling techniques of Podocarpine include three major techniques: binding, pruning and root lifting. It is recommended to choose dwarf varieties such as 'imperial concubine' Podocarpus, which is suitable for modern courtyards. Feng Shui pays attention to "green dragon on the left and white tiger on the right." Podocarpus can be placed on the east side of the courtyard to be decorated with quartz stone to enhance wealth. 2. The matching rules of auspicious plants Orange trees: The auspicious layout of kumquat trees should be planted in pottery pots and placed on both sides of the porch, paying attention to maintaining the soil pH value of 5.5-6.5. In Feng Shui, orange trees and Nantian bamboo are paired to form a combination of "auspicious celebration and peace". In winter, a simple greenhouse needs to be built to keep the temperature above 0℃. Osmanthus tree: The Danguthus variety has the strongest aroma and is suitable for making osmanthus tea. When planting, it is necessary to dig a planting hole with a diameter of 1 meter and mix it with peat soil to improve the soil. In the feng shui layout, osmanthus flowers are matched with round waterscape, which means "the toad palace breaks osmanthus", which is beneficial to academic career. It is recommended to adopt the "three-talent layout method" for combined landscaping techniques: camphor/osmanthus flowers are used on the upper floor, pomegranate/orange trees are used on the middle floor, and boxwood hedges are planted on the bottom floor. Pay attention to maintaining the ratio of evergreen to deciduous tree species at 6:4 to ensure scenery all year round.
As a living feng shui array, courtyard plants need to take into account ecological habits and cultural implications. Regular maintenance can be combined with changes in solar terms, thinning branches in spring, shading in summer, fertilizing in autumn, and preventing cold in winter, so that the effect of prosperity in the town can be truly exerted. It is recommended to conduct professional feng shui surveys every three years to adjust the plant layout to adapt to changes in times.
