Is it good to plant gardenias on the balcony according to feng shui?
Here are some small experiences on the feng shui implications of planting gardenias on the balcony and at home, and let's find out together.
Many people know to choose a north-south facing apartment when buying a house, as such apartments ensure good ventilation. However, if unlucky, one might end up with a middle apartment, which has poor ventilation.
Poor air circulation can make people feel oppressed, and an even bigger issue is that the living room may constantly be filled with the smell of the bathroom. What can be done? We can't rely on air fresheners every day, as long-term use of air fresheners can be harmful to the human body, as they contain mostly chemical synthetic agents.
If you also have this kind of problem and don't want to spend a lot of money on a new air system, you might as well try planting these flowers on your balcony. Not only can they create a romantic and comfortable country-style home environment, but they can also fill the whole house with fragrance. Breathing in this fresh and natural fragrance every day makes life incredibly comfortable and peaceful.
I. Gardenia
Gardenias can be very fragrant, with a refreshing and pleasant scent that is not at all overwhelming. They are considered the best choice for potted plants at home. Gardenias are great at improving indoor air quality, but they love water but fear waterlogging, enjoy sunlight but fear sunburn, like fertilizer but fear root burn, and also have high soil pH requirements. They are more suitable for patient gardeners. If you have a semi-open balcony at home, you will have an advantage in the planting environment. In terms of feng shui, gardenias also have very good implications. There is a saying in Taiwan that "gardenias attract wealth," and some say that gardenias can help dissolve negative energy and avoid disasters, even promoting harmony in the family and making couples love each other more.

The meaning of gardenias is joy, strength, eternal love, and lifelong waiting. Placing a pot of spotless white gardenias at home is indeed a good choice. When gardenias bloom, the room is filled with a refreshing fragrance, as if capturing the whole summer.
II. Narcissus
Narcissus, also known as "the fairy of the waves," is one of the four famous flowers in China, holding a high status. Narcissus is very suitable for indoor cultivation, and planting a few pots of narcissus in the office or on the balcony is also very helpful for purifying the air. It not only decorates the home environment but also provides us with a pleasant breathing experience. The scent of narcissus is fresh, subtle, and slightly sweet, very refreshing to the heart. Many people even make narcissus into essential oils and fragrances.
However, it is important to note that narcissus is toxic, with the toxicity present in the stems, flowers, and sap. But it does not emit toxicity, which means that the fragrance emitted by narcissus is non-toxic. Just be careful when handling it during maintenance, and if there are children at home, keep the narcissus out of their reach.
The meaning of narcissus flowers is all the best, auspicious, beautiful, pure, noble, and pure love. From a feng shui perspective, narcissus can promote wealth, career advancement, and bring good luck, but it needs to be placed in a suitable position. It is not suitable to place it near the front door, the bathroom, or in the wealth corner, otherwise it may lead to bankruptcy or bring bad luck.
