Position in the Home
In residential feng shui, plants are not only decorative items that beautify space but also feng shui treasures that regulate the energy field. According to the theory of the Five Elements in the I Ching, placing plants of specific colors in different directions can effectively enhance wealth, romance, and career luck. This article combines the principles of the Nine Palaces Flying Stars to explain the secrets of plant layouts in eight key directions.
Eastern Position: Wood and Fire Generate Wen Chang
