Feng Shui of the Open Plan Living Room - Plants
Dr. Michael Oon
The Life Aspiration Formula is used to define the placement of plants for the benefit of the family in the property.
Southeast Element - Yang Wood Money and Windfall Luck | South Element – Fire Fame and Recognition Luck | Southwest Element – Yang Earth Love and Romance Luck |
East Element – Yin Wood Health & Family Luck | West Element – Yin Metal Descendants Luck | |
Northeast Element - Yin Earth Education and Scholastic Luck | North Element – Water Career luck | Northwest Element - Yang Metal Mentor/Patriarch Luck |
Plants are of the Wood Element
They can be placed in the Wood Element sectors – Southeast (Wealth) and East (family)
Also, in the Fire Element – South (fame)
The preferred plant for Feng Shui is the Jade plant. It has thick leaves. It is said, when the plants flower, you have a windfall luck
Other preferred plants are the peace plant and orchids
The reason for the peace plant is obvious. Orchids – the flowers are hardy and last a long time. This is symbolism for long-lasting.
The type of plant that is not encouraged in Feng Shui is the cactus. The simple reason – they are spiky and thorny. This provokes arguments and clashes. This is not what harmony is about.
