Corridors: Commonly these spaces are usually of little light, so we recommend using ferns, ficus, Aspidistra, Adam's filodendro or rib. Plants in this type of environments help regulate energy circulation.
Stay: In this environment, plants must be located in the wood and fire orientations to contribute to the cycle of the 5 elements. In the north (fire), they promote social recognition or transcendence, while in the northeast (wood) they favor finance and prosperity.
Kitchen: In this environment, Feng Shui uses plants to cure and place them between the south (fire orientation) and north (water orientation). We recommend using plants in water such as Potus or Peperonia.
Bathroom: Find plants that adapt to bath moisture. These types of plants represent the wood element and counteract the energy of the water, preventing good fortune from going through the pipes. For this environment we suggest bamboo, ferns and potus.
Rooms: Feng Shui recommends that more than two floors be placed in the bedroom. When sleeping, you must take them out of the room because plants absorb oxygen and produce carbon dioxide so they can interfere with the quality of the rest.
How to choose the most appropriate plant?
Feng Shui classifies plants according to their energy qualities so there are certain details that you must take into account.
- Succulent: They are resistant and activate the energy of abundance.
- Cactus: Their thorns are considered aggressive, so you should only place them outdoors as a protection.
- Climbers: The Feng Shui does not rule out its outdoor use under the condition that they do not completely cover the walls of the house.
- Pendants: These types of plants are allowed but you must place guides because if their appearance is descending to radiate negativity and lack of impetus.
- Punta leaves : These types of plants emit hostile energy, so it is recommended to place them out of the house.
- Rounded or heart -shaped tip leaves : Perfect for interiors because they are activators of the good Chi.
*** If plants have flowers ** It is much better because they provide charity thanks to their color and should be placed according to it.
North/Northwest/Southeast: red, fuchsias, oranges, yellow.
