Feng Shui Plants

Fresh and beautiful living Feng Shui plants and cut flowers bring healthy and auspicious chi into your house. However, it is important that fresh flowers would be replaced as soon as they start fading. Fading flowers bring bad chi, therefore if you cannot replace the flowers immediately when they start fading, it is much better to get artificial (such as silk) flowers to display in your home.

Artificial flowers bring good luck and attract the same quality chi as real flowers, therefore you can doubtlessly replace live flowers with silk or other kinds of artificial flowers. Just make sure that the size of the flowers are in relation to the size of your room. For example, don't place very large flowers in a very small room, or very small flower bucket in a very spacious room because that will create imbalance.

Different Feng Shui plants bring different qualities into your home. Choose carefully what kind of energy you would like to introduce in your home, be it more health, vitality, money or success.

Mou tan, or peony, brings marriage opportunities. It is best to keep this flower in the marriage corner of your home, which is located in the southwestern sector of your home. Get silk peonies here. Peonies are very powerful and Chinese families display them when there are unmarried daughters in the home. If you cannot get real or artificial peonies, you can also display the painting of these flowers. If you don't know how to assess the direction of your home to determine your marriage corner, use guidelines on this page to determine that.

It is really bad idea to keep dried flowers at home because they symbolise death. Therefore remove any dried or dying flowers from your home at once, replacing them with fresh or artificial flowers. Artificial flowers have a very positive effect because they symbolise vitality, beauty and emanate positive chi.

Any green plants are excellent to keep in your home because they bring vitality to your home and neutralise negative chi emanating from any sharp objects in your home. Therefore if you have a sharp-edged cupboard, overhead beams or other sharp structures in your home, place a green plant near them to deflect poison chi.

Bamboo plant is another excellent choice for every home. It promotes good health, luck and happiness and brings prosperity. Bamboo plant is also capable of attracting positive chi energy to the corners of your home that lack vitality. If you cannot get a bamboo tree for your home, bamboo Feng Shui windchimes also greatly enhance your home and your well-being.
