Plants And Feng Shui

• Plants and flowers play a very important role in feng shui and there is no denying that.
• Feng shui considers plants and flowers to be auspicious and it is always advisable and beneficial to grow plants in the house. Feng shui will require you to plant wooden plants within the premises of your house.
• Feng shui also believes in the fact that plants in the office bring good luck to your profession life. Consider placing plants towards the east, south or south-east corners of your office to get the maximum benefits out of them.
• Feng shui suggests that if you are a married couple and wish to have children, avoid placing flowers in the bedroom. Place a basket of fruits like pomegranate or any other such symbol of fertility, instead of flowers.
• Avoid placing thorny plants inside your house. It is better to have thorny plants outside your house for them to form a protective shield around your house. However, avoid placing them too close to the main door.
• Bonsai plants do not come under the list of favourable plants in feng shui. Bonsai plants resemble stunted growth according to feng shui and therefore should be avoided both inside and outside the house.
• It is advisable for you to trim your plants regularly, since overgrown plants symbolises bad energy. Similarly, the trees in your garden should also be trimmed on regular basis.
• Fresh flowers are believed to bring luck and fortune to the house. Therefore, it is always better to place fresh flowers in the living room. Do remember to replace dead flowers with fresh ones on a regular basis, since you cannot really have dying flowers in your house.
• Do not place dried flowers inside your house, since they are believed to bring misfortune. If you consider the task of changing flowers every two days as bothering, you can simply use artificial flowers.
• Do not place flowers, plants or any other feng shui symbol inside your bathroom. If you happen to place any feng shui symbol inside your bathroom, good luck will backfire and turn into bad luck and misfortune.
• Oranges and lemons are believed to be powerful symbols of fortune and prosperity. You can place this on the entrance of your door, just like how Hindus hang lemons and chillies at the entrance of their homes.
