What plants to place at home for good feng shui
A guide to share some practical knowledge, introducing which plants are suitable for home placement and the detailed knowledge of suitable green plants and flowers for different areas in the house, here is a detailed introduction.
1. Plants for the living room
The living room: Varieties that are suitable for the living room include Fu Gui Zhu (richness bamboo), Hong Yun Dang Tou (auspicious cattleya), Peng Lai Song (Penglai pine), Qiye Lian (seven-leafed plant), Fa Cai Shu (money tree), Jin Qian Shu (golden money tree), Zhao Cai Shu (wealth attracting tree), Jun Zi Lan (knight orchid), orchids, Xian Ke Lai (cyclamen), orange trees, etc. These flowers symbolize good fortune, wealth accumulation, and prosperity.
Placing some fruit-bearing plants in the living room can symbolize abundant harvests and bountiful fruits, enhancing the family's good fortune. At the same time, fruit-bearing plants can also strengthen the family's popularity, such as enhancing the relationship between couples and harmony among family members, making the family united and harmonious. However, these fruit-bearing plants require careful attention to avoid issues like fruit dropping, withering, or rotting due to inadequate care, and they should be replaced in a timely manner.
2. Plants for the bedroom
For many single men and women, boosting their own love luck, symbolized by桃花 (peach blossoms), is something they desire. Placing fresh flowers in the bedroom can enhance one's love luck. Fresh flowers are vibrant and aesthetically pleasing plants, and placing them in the bedroom naturally brings a refreshing mood, which in turn boosts one's love luck. Therefore, those longing for romance and love can place fresh flowers in their bedrooms to enhance their love life.
3. Plants for the entryway
The entryway is the first thing that catches the eye when entering a house. In feng shui, it is known as the "inner bright hall," symbolizing the potential for future development of family members. Therefore, the entryway is closely related to the family's career and financial luck. If a vibrant plant is placed near the entrance door or in the entryway, it can help the family accumulate wealth. It is important to water the plant promptly after placing it to prevent it from withering due to lack of water, which would be counterproductive. Ensuring watering at least once a week can help the family's wealth grow.

4. Plants for the peach blossom position
Friends born in the year of the mouse, dragon, or monkey have their peach blossom position in the west. Those born in the year of the cow, snake, or rooster have their peach blossom position in the south. Those born in the year of the tiger, horse, or dog have their peach blossom position in the east. Those born in the year of the rabbit, goat, or pig have their peach blossom position in the north. Placing plants in these positions can enhance one's love luck.
5. Large-leafed and thick-leafed plants can boost wealth
This type of plant should generally be placed in the wealth sector of the home or the annual wealth sector to achieve wealth enhancement.
6. Climbing and thorny plants are not beneficial for relationships
When placing plants, it is generally not recommended to place plants with thorns, such as cacti, cactus balls, aloe vera, and pine tree arrangements. Placing these thorny plants in the living room or bedroom can affect the relationships among family members, such as causing arguments between couples and generation gaps between parents and children. It is best to avoid placing thorny plants in the home. However, in feng shui, thorny plants can also be used to dissipate negative energy from surrounding buildings. For example, if there is a sharp corner from the building opposite visible from the living room window pointing towards the home, placing a cactus on the living room balcony can help dissipate the negative energy.
What plants are best to keep at home
It is not impossible to place plants indoors, but some species are not suitable for the home. For example, thorny or needle-shaped plants like azaleas, roses, and cacti are not suitable, as they can affect the health of family members.
