What is the concept of Feng-shui?

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of directing energy and using Feng Shui with houseplants. The word itself translates into "wind" and "water." These two life forces flow freely over the Earth, creating the Chinese's central life force as "chi." Thus, Feng Shui is concerned with directing chi, or energy, throughout a home to bring its occupants into harmony. Houseplants play an essential part in this belief.

Healthy houseplants are excellent and beneficial, especially wooded houseplants and bamboos. Wood represents creativity, birth, regeneration, and affluence.

Feng Shui Tips:

Mind the entrance: Front door is the beginning point in the journey of your home. It is where you welcome people and where air circulates most freely. Place or hang plants near the front entrance whenever possible.

Disguise harsh lines: Slopes, ceilings, corners, and other sharp lines are considered harmful energy enhancers because they stop the chi's flow through a house. Use plants to hide your house's architectural features and enhance airflow between rooms and through "dead" spaces.?

Workplace: Plants in the office and workplace also bring about increased luck in your career—place plants in the east, south, or south-east corners of your office for maximum luck.

Don't keep dead or dying plants: Dead or dying plants emit negative energy and should be discarded. This applies to cut flowers also. In general, flowers are suitable for the home, but declining bouquets should be discarded.

Keep herbs in the home: The Chinese often burn herbs after an argument or other disruptive event to purify the house. Growing herbs are also beneficial and should be kept in the home. Lavender is a powerful herb as it is widely considered to promote relaxation and peace.

Avoid thorny Plants: Thorny plants form a protective barrier, thus stopping the flow of chi. Do not place thorny plants inside your home. Thorny plants do form a protective shield and could be placed outside the home. Don't put them near the front door; preferably, be placed a little further away from the door or on the balcony.

Recommended Plants: Any healthy plant can help increase a home's chi or be used in Feng Shui designs. However, some plants are more beneficial than others, and wooded plants are considered the best. Here are some great plants to consider:

  • Bamboo - Any variety of bamboo is right, even lucky bamboo (which is technically known as Dracaena Sanderiana)
  • Palms – they are evergreen and bring vitality and strength.
  • Peonies - This flower is trendy to attract romance. It blooms in late spring. It can take three to four years to fully bloom, and then it can live up to 100 years.
  • Dracaena - There are many species of dracaena, some of which form thick, wooded stalks.
  • Peace lilies – almost all species of Spathiphyllum have excellent air-purifying capabilities and are suitable for indoors and bedroom
  • Pachira Aquatica - This plant is also known as the Money Tree. This plant brings luck during a new journey, e.g., starting a business or beginning any new project.
  • Jade plants – species of Crassula ovata provides positive mental health benefits by nourishing the chi
  • Ficus species - There are many species of Ficus, including rubber plants and weeping figs. These are beneficial plants. Buddha achieved enlightenment while sitting beneath a Ficus tree.
  • Hanging plants - Baskets are great for moving chi throughout a room and near the ceiling.
