According to the ancient Chinese teachings of Feng Shui, a person should live in harmony with the world. In order for internal energy to interact beneficially with the energy of things, you need to be able to properly plan space.
In addition to arranging furniture and interior items, followers of geomancy recommend taking a responsible approach to choosing places to place living plants. According to Feng Shui, flowers for home well-being should be purchased with love, placed in suitable rooms and provided with regular care.
General rules for growing house plants according to Feng Shui
What rules should you follow when choosing and growing indoor plants?
- At the stage of selecting plants, you need to pay attention to the sprouts: it’s good if they are directed upwards. These plants are perfect if you want a positive atmosphere to reign in your home. It is believed that plants with drooping sprouts, on the contrary, attract negative events and are a kind of “energy vampires”;
- if we talk about the shape of the plant, then round leaves are preferable, sharp ones bring negativity;

- Especially moisture-loving plants should be planted in red pots.

How to place indoor plants in your home according to Feng Shui
By understanding the patterns of flower placement according to Feng Shui, you can skillfully control the energy flows in the room. Houseplants can block the negative effects of Sha energy or stop excessively intense Qi energy. If the Qi flows are too powerful, it can negatively affect the atmosphere. Sha energy originates where there are too many sharp corners. Plants will help minimize the effect of negative flows in your home.
Feng Shui includes 5 basic elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal. Each of the elements has specific characteristics and, accordingly, each requires individual space in the house. Plants belong to the Wood element, so the most successful option for their placement is the east side (or southeast). In Feng Shui, a tree symbolizes financial and life well-being, the realization of dreams, health and personal growth.
But there are flowers that are classified as other elements. For example, purple, pink, and red flowers belong to Fire, which is why the southern sector is considered the most successful location. Shades play a huge role in the science of Feng Shui, so it is recommended to pay close attention to the color of the plants you choose and their future location. When flowering starts, it is worth moving the Fire plant to the southern part of the room. This will activate the Chi energy and improve the atmosphere of the southern sector. The location of the plant can affect its effectiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully place flowers around the house:
- It is recommended to place plants only in their appropriate parts of the house. It is recommended to plant a money tree in the wealth zone. In any other zone it will lose its effectiveness;
- in the bedroom you should adhere to the principle “the less the better,” especially near the bed;
- Do not place pots between doors or between a window and a door. This location is considered unfavorable;
- You should not plant thorny plants where you rest: they can interfere with the restoration of vital energies. Placement in the southwestern sector is not recommended: it may adversely affect personal life;
- Fruiting and flowering plants are perfect for the kitchen;
- for the western sector, white flowers will be the best choice. Such placement will ensure understanding and harmony between generations and create an ideal atmosphere for creativity;
- It is recommended to place cacti in the northern sector of the house.
Plant energy according to the teachings of Feng Shui
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, any living plant carries the vital energy of Qi. Plants carry purely positive energy, although there are opinions that some specimens are capable of carrying negative energy, which negatively affects the well-being of others. This is not entirely true. You just need to correctly take into account and use the energy of each plant. And the correct selection of plants and their proper arrangement will help harmonize the energy of your home and always positively influence the well-being of others.
DO YOU KNOW THAT... Green, the predominant color of plants and flowers, is one of the most natural and natural. This is the color of chlorophyll - which promotes the growth of all life on earth. In people, the color green evokes feelings of harmony in life, tranquility and balance.
In Eastern teaching, living plants are active objects that influence the energy of the home. They also actively influence the energy of the residents of the house. Being in close proximity to living plants at home, every person is able to feel the influence of a flower on his mood and state of mind.
The main rule in using indoor plants in the interior is to avoid diseased and drying plants , which can weaken the protection of your family. To treat diseased plants, it is necessary to choose a non-residential area of a house or apartment, but if the disease is prolonged, then it is better to get rid of such a plant. In the teachings of Feng Shui, any dried plants are energy vampires, and it is not recommended to keep them indoors, as they will absorb your energy.
As for healthy vegetation, all plants and flowers are divided into two groups according to the energy they release:
1. The energy of the Sun, the masculine principle, the active and aggressive energy of Yang is represented by prickly plants, with sharp leaves, powerful and fast-growing. These include asparagus, aloe, sansevieria, dracaena palm, ficus, chlorophytum, and indoor citrus trees . They make the vital energy of qi flow at an increased speed, are able to improve mood, give vigor and strength, determination, and infect with positivity.
2. The Yin plant is dedicated to the Moon; it contains the mysterious feminine principle . Yin plants have rounded leaves, usually have many flowers and are usually small in size. These beauties include violets, cyclamen, begonia, geranium, as well as some types of charming succulents, for example, Crassula . The positive properties of these plants include their ability to fill the atmosphere with kindness and warmth; they allow us to show true feminine intuition and not lose diligence and patience.
To create a correct and favorable Feng Shui microclimate and energy balance in the house, it is necessary to have both Yang and Yin plants . And each of them needs to correctly determine a place to live so that it does not contradict the flow of energy in the house.
We arrange plants in the house according to Feng Shui recommendations
- It is important to remember that Yang plants should be kept in rooms characterized by a predominance of masculine energy - a study, a living room. Also, when the room is located in the southern, southeastern or southwestern sector, the presence of Yang plants is simply necessary.
- It is preferable to keep Yin plants in the kitchen, bedroom and children's room.
- You should not keep many indoor plants in the bedroom, and they should not be placed too close to the bed. In general, you should not place flower pots too close to the recreation area, since close placement of plants during relaxation may not have such a good effect on a person’s general condition and energy.
- Plants with thorns, hard leaves or needles should not be placed closer than 1 m from a working, sleeping or resting place.
- If you want to attract energy into your home, then place flowers in various niches, on shelves and in cabinets.
- According to Feng Shui, flowers that grow and stretch upward should be kept in the house. It is believed that flowers stretching upward activate positive energy, while plants with drooping leaves and flowers, on the contrary, bring energy down to earth.
- It is not recommended to place indoor flowers between 2 doors or in a straight line between a door and a window. It is believed that this way the positive energy of the plant quickly and irretrievably flows away.
- Keep at home only plants that you like, because any flower is a highly sensitive organism; it will not grow well, much less bloom, in an environment of antipathy.
- And, no matter how much you would like to, you should not use artificial and dried flowers in interior design. Such plants have dead energy and do not have any positive effect on the atmosphere of the house.
Energy of Common Houseplants
According to Feng Shui, all flowers emit their own energy, unique to them. Knowing the energetic impact of a plant on a person and the energy of a space is extremely important for correctly selecting them and assigning them a permanent place of residence in your home.
Crassula, or Crassula in other words - and in everyday life is better known as the “money tree” - has long been considered a symbol of prosperity, well-being and wealth. The presence of a money tree in the house brings an increase in material wealth. The Feng Shui symbol “money tree” is a good activator of the wealth zone in a house, apartment, store, or office.
Feng Shui masters advise planting this tree with your own hands, placing a coin or several coins along with the soil in the pot. When the plant grows, you need to tie a red ribbon on its trunk and decorate it with coins. This Feng Shui symbol should be placed near a window facing southeast. If there is no window in the wealth area, then you can equip artificial lighting and place the money tree on a table, shelf or stand nearby.
Ficus has the ability to neutralize aggression and negative energy well. Creates a favorable atmosphere in the house. However, it cannot be placed in the marriage sector, since its presence in this place can worsen the relationship between spouses.
Myrtle tree. This amazing plant is your assistant in creating a happy and strong family. It brings love and prosperity to your home, and a flowering myrtle tree in the house will create favorable energy. If you have hit a cooling streak in your family relationships, then the myrtle tree will help save your marriage and overcome adversity.
Pelargonium (geranium) is a plant with strong energy. Geranium blooms profusely and luxuriantly, fueled directly by negative energy. It perfectly protects everyone living in the house. After sitting near the plant for a few minutes, you can feel energized and rested. You need to know that geranium releases essential oils, purifies the air, improves metabolism, reduces blood pressure and calms the nervous system. It is not recommended to place the plant near the bed, as inhaling essential oils for a long time can cause headaches and sometimes allergies.
Cacti are considered symbols of prosperity, fulfillment and wealth, despite its heavy energy. According to Feng Shui, the cactus is a symbol of fulfillment. This flower must be placed in the wealth zone. These plants are associated with the pantry because they are extremely water efficient. Cacti also neutralize rage and anger. They are especially indicated for hot-tempered people. This amazing plant helps to introduce elements of logic into emotions and helps not to concentrate on experiences.
Poinsettia, or Christmas star, has recently become a very popular houseplant for the winter holidays.
Poinsettia helps to identify new qualities in yourself and decide on your profession, and promotes communication.
According to Feng Shui, this plant should be placed in the newlyweds’ bedroom so that everything is fine on the marital bed, so that the newlyweds can quickly acquire offspring. This flower also protects from betrayal; it brings happiness to married couples. It gives the woman living in this house a special charm and sexuality.
After purchasing a poinsettia, harmony will reign in your family, as this flower charges the house with positive energy, absorbing all the negative atmosphere into itself. Because of this, milkweed dies immediately in the house where there is powerful negative energy in the form of damage and the evil eye.
Arrowroot or praying grass , according to esotericists, is capable of attracting wealth and good luck into the house, and is also capable of saving family well-being and saving spouses from quarrels.
The arrowroot plant brings comfort and tranquility to the house, thanks to its very attractive appearance, so the positive meaning of the flower is difficult to overestimate. Reviews from domestic flower growers also indicate the unpretentiousness and visual attractiveness of the decorative crop.
Bamboo. The plant absorbs negative energy well. In the teachings of Feng Shui, it is believed that negative energy when passing through the cavities of bamboo changes to positive. It is recommended to keep the plant in a floor and wide vase in the corner of the room.
The lemon tree is especially recommended to be placed near children, as this tree develops curiosity and increases the desire for knowledge. Lemon increases activity and independence.
Balsam, or as it is popularly called “wet Vanka”. According to Feng Shui, this indoor flower can attract joy into the home, as it has the property of emitting warm energy. The plant is good for placing in spacious rooms of a private house, but “wet Vanka” can “take root” in the office. In a work team, balsam will help smooth out conflicts and reduce quarrels and disagreements.
Cyclamen in the house is a warming sun on cold winter days; it blooms mainly in winter. It is useful for those people who are afraid of the cold, who are allergic to cold, who freeze just at the thought of winter.
Cyclamen is suitable for managers. Both children and adults become more active under its influence. It is also very useful to have where there are capricious children.
Fern is a plant vampire. They grow well in unfavorable areas, taking away all the negative energy. However, you should be careful with him, as with any vampire. You cannot place a fern in the room of a sick, tired, weakened person. But it is perfect for a children's room. It will help relieve the student’s fatigue and tension.
Curiously, a fern can protect a home from unplanned expenses. It is known that even heirs purchased fern before receiving property. It is also necessary to have it in those houses where maximalists and people prone to exaggeration live. Fern is good in cases where people are too active, and is also useful for people with intellectual work.
Echmeya helps absent-minded and indecisive people, those who cannot begin to act, to come to the realization of their cherished plans. Echmea also helps to develop independence in a person.
This flower is especially good for men.
Dracaena is a beautiful plant that kills any negative energy. Depending on the species, each dracaena has its own effect on the energy of the house and its household. For example, Dracaena derema is able to cleanse the energy of the atmosphere in the house from the energy of thoughts, words and feelings of people who are always in a hurry somewhere, people who are often in a state of stress. Dracaena has the ability to relieve depressed states. It soothes any bone pain. A calm dracaena relaxes a person. Just by being in the house, she can protect household members from osteochondrosis and muscle pain.
But dracaena Godsef , which differs in appearance from other types of dracaenas with its oval leaves, is capable of clearing the atmosphere of pessimistic energies and thoughts of emotional, lunar people. It smoothes out the conflict of clashing opposing energies in the atmosphere of the house. The plant helps us find agreement between emotionality and rationality, between desires and possibilities. The fire of dracaena burns diseases and toxins, and water washes away the “products of combustion.”
It should also be remembered that:
- according to the teachings of Feng Shui, fruiting and flowering plants release more energy than decorative leafy plants, and large plants release more energy than small ones;
- plants with lush and soft foliage emit more positive energy, in contrast to plants with sharp, hard, thorny leaves;
- and, most importantly, for any flower - like a Feng Shui talisman - to fully demonstrate its capabilities, and its energy field to be active, show it your attention and love, and it will definitely help you. And you, communicating with this most beautiful particle of the universe, will bring your soul into a state of complete harmony with nature.

Chinese folk teaching also talks about plants such as “bloodsucking plants,” which include exclusively prickly representatives of the green world. To prevent them from causing harm, they are placed near computers or on the windowsill.
In addition to everything, dried and wilted flowers in the house according to Feng Shui absorb the vital energy of Qi and are spreaders of germs! If you see a wilting flower at home, the shoot should be cut off and all remaining parts thrown away.
In addition, do not bring home flowers that were given to you by people with heavy energy. Since their aura can negatively affect the home atmosphere and the well-being of household members.
These plants should not be kept at home!
Dieffenbachia
This plant is beautiful, with its juice, which, unfortunately, is not beneficial for people, but on the contrary can cause irritation on the skin or burn the retina. It should not be kept indoors, especially for those who have small children. Because if a large amount of juice gets into your mouth, a severe burn may occur.
Oleander
A flowering plant that smells strongly while in bloom may even cause you to faint. Just like Dieffenbachia, its juice can cause blindness due to a mucus burn. Other green friends of the plant have similar effects: Pachypodium, Dipladenia, Periwinkle, Adenium.
Monstera
One of the bright and frightening vampire plants. The monster needs, even needs to evoke fear, horror, and simply attract attention. This plant “feeds” on strong emotions and feelings. The plant is endowed with both disadvantages and advantages: it perfectly cleans the air of dust and carbon dioxide, and releases oxygen. But it also takes energy away from people. Therefore, florists advise storing the plant for those people who are phlegmatic and melancholic. Temperamental choleric people, on the contrary, will have a hard time next to a monstera. After all, they lose their peculiarity by splashing out energy on others. Therefore, it is better for impressionable and often sick people to keep other plants at home.
Fern
Ferns are “guests” from tropical countries. These beautiful green inhabitants are popular in our latitudes. Ferns are one of the strongest energy absorbers. Like Monstera, it absorbs human energy.
Hibiscus
Hibiscus is considered a vampire plant that absorbs energy with lightning speed. This is due to the fact that the plant grows very quickly. And it is also at the moment of flowering that hibiscus consumes maximum energy. But it is worth noting that Hibiscus will certainly attract everyone’s attention with its lush and beautiful flowering.
Thuja
Popular garden flower. In the room, Tuya absorbs all the energy entirely. Lethargy and drowsiness can become your eternal companions. I don't think you would keep such a plant at home.
Shy Mimosa
A strange plant, with a thin stem and small leaves. The leaves of this plant are fragile, and if you touch the leaves with your hand, they supposedly hide and curl into a tube. Fear! With prolonged contact with Mimosa, you can lose your hair.
Ivy evergreen
Poisonous berry plant from the Araliaceae family. Looks like a vine bush. Due to the toxicity of the fruit, it is not recommended to keep this green plant at home.
Adenium
It looks like a beautiful plant. It has thick stems. At the very top of the plant there are thin leaves and pink flowers. Its juice is harmful and toxic, and poisoning of the body can occur.
Croton
From the Euphorbiaceae family. An elongated small tree with spotted leaves. Its petals are invisible, and it blooms extremely rarely. The liquid of this plant provokes the appearance of skin diseases. The poison, once in the blood, can be fatal.

Trichocereus
A relative of the cactus, as it is very similar in appearance to it. External description: long and large needles, blooms with large light flowers, also smells pleasant. Trichocereus contains toxins that can paralyze nerve endings.
Gesner Tulip
A well-flowering plant with a medium-sized stem. There is a small flower in the center. The color can be varied, ranging from light tones to variegated and bright. One of the disadvantages is hair loss and baldness.
Tuberose
A perennial plant whose stem reaches a height of almost 50 cm. It has a strong and sweet smell. Tuberose subdivides microelements that enhance the sense of smell. This power of the plant is also used in medicine. As it turned out, foreign doctors used the flower as a medicine when patients lost their sense of smell due to nerve problems. It is not advisable for anyone with heart problems to have this flower in their home. The aroma of this plant can cause weakness and loss of energy.
Sansevieria
The plant is very interesting in appearance, one might even say strange? Something like the tail of a fish. For this reason, it has a second name, “pike tail”. The green flora blooms and has a delicious aroma. It has a beneficial effect on the clean air of the house, as well as on its aura. However, if you believe ancient and ancient signs, it has a bad effect on personal life, and the owners may remain alone for the rest of their lives.
Artificial flowers in feng shui
Feng Shui believes that all house plants carry a positive charge. It is only recommended to avoid poisonous flowers and dried plants. Plants that have dried out take away energy and vitality. Artificial flowers are in no way inferior to real flowers in effectiveness.
Feng Shui experts believe that artificial specimens have positive energy and are perfect for those sectors where it is not advisable to place fresh flowers. For example, a wet bathroom or areas close to fire can be lethal to living plants. In this case, the use of artificial specimens may become relevant. It was stated above that it is recommended to place as few living plants as possible in the bedroom: this is due to the fact that a sleeping person is vulnerable to the rotting processes that occur in plant pots. Therefore, artificial plants are great for the bedroom. Feng Shui supports the idea that artificial specimens are relevant for wet rooms, the head of a bed or in the kitchen. The most powerful flowers in terms of energy are: peony, orchid, magnolia, chrysanthemum and lotus.
The impact of indoor flowers on a choleric person
Choleric is the brightest and most unpredictable temperament. Such a person loves to be the center of attention, loves everything new and unusual. At the same time, his tastes are changeable: today he likes one thing, tomorrow – the completely opposite. The craving for everything unusual and non-trivial gives rise to choleric people the desire to have exotic plants - alstroemeria, amaryllis, calla lilies, freesia, eustoma.
People with a choleric temperament are active and efficient. They are ready to spend hours on end replanting, experimenting with soils, cutting branches... But that’s today. And tomorrow they will completely forget about their garden on the windowsill and are unlikely to remember it for a whole month. Therefore, it would be a good idea to choose indoor plants that can grow on their own for a long time without requiring the owner’s attention (for example, cacti, palm trees).
The explosive nature of the choleric person will be balanced by flowers of calm or even cold shades - white, blue, green. But it is better to avoid overly saturated tones, so as not to arouse an already violent temper.
It is advisable for a choleric person to have a tree or a very bushy plant growing at home. On the one hand, it will restrain the owner’s seething energy. On the other hand, you can place a chair under a huge Chinese rose bush or an overgrown ficus tree. This will be the very place where a choleric person can satisfy his need for solitude and temporarily hide from the whole world.
Indoor plants that suit the character of a choleric person
- Agave americana clears space from the energy of quarrels and conflicts. Calms a stormy temper and teaches you to react more calmly to everything that happens.
- Clivia neutralizes the energy of irritation, which is very important for choleric people. After all, even close friends feel like they’re on a volcano with him.
- Maranta is a good solution for landscaping an apartment or office where there are people striving for leadership.
- Capsicum relieves anger and pacifies dissatisfaction with surrounding objects and people.
- Poinsettia (Christmas star) gives the joy of communication and suppresses the desire to compete with others.
- Sansevieria (pike tail) relieves roughness.
Images with flowers in the teachings of Feng Shui
The science of Feng Shui interprets drawings with flowers and paintings as unique portals that can endow the room in which they are located with powerful energy. Indoor, forest, and mountain plants are great for images placed in living rooms, guaranteeing a flow of happiness and good luck. Each flower is endowed with a hidden meaning:
- peonies and poppies will give an important meeting, and provide understanding and harmony to the married couple;
- lotus guarantees authority, respect and well-being;
- white lily and lily of the valley symbolize purity and balance in the home;
- an orchid guarantees mutual understanding and many children;
- chrysanthemum balances the heart and mind;
- Roses give life to positive energy and give prosperity in love.
For paintings depicting flowers, the southwestern sector of the room is best suited. If you need to restore mutual understanding in a married couple, it is better to hang a picture in the bedroom. When you need to improve relationships between family members, it is worth placing the picture in the living room, between employees in a team - in the office. It is rational to place an image with a plant favorable in Feng Shui exactly where it is necessary to restore harmony and agreement.
The impact of indoor flowers on a sanguine person
Sanguine people are very positive people, they are interested in everything, they have a spirit of adventure and adventurism. You can find anything on their windowsills. They easily get excited about the idea of growing an interesting and unusual flower. But they rarely burden themselves with thoughts about whether they can create comfortable conditions for the plant.
The variety of plants in a sanguine person’s apartment can also be explained by the fact that it is important for such people to feel comfortable not only for themselves, but also for those around them. They love to be liked by others. Therefore, they sincerely try to ensure that in their home flower garden there are green exhibits that are pleasing to the eye of every family member.
Plants with bright and colorful inflorescences are suitable for an emotional and energetic sanguine person. This is a holiday person, so boring and dull buds are not for him. But in order to at least slightly contain the fountain of emotions and energy, you should choose flowers in purple, bluish or white tones.
Indoor plants that match the temperament of a sanguine person
- Asparagus has a positive effect on those who often change their minds and do not know how to keep their word. The plant absorbs the fussy energy of those who never sit in one place.
- Dwarf pomegranate will imbue the atmosphere of your home with the energy of joy and comfort. And what could be more pleasant for a sanguine person than the realization that everyone is satisfied and happy! In addition, pomegranate helps to understand desires, which sanguine people always have too many of.
- The Decembrist is useful to those who often subordinate those around them to their interests. But sanguine people really easily make others fall in love with them, therefore, it can be quite difficult to refuse them.

The effect of indoor flowers on a melancholic person
Melancholic people are distrustful, prone to doubt, and suffer from low self-esteem. Changes in life for them from relatives are a disaster. They are shy and unsociable, and can become depressed over little things. But their isolation and focus on themselves also has advantages: such people almost always have a rich imagination.
The favorite color of melancholic people is yellow. Sunny flowers compensate for the sad mood of their owners. However, other bright flowers are unlikely to suit the taste of a whiny person. They will irritate the owner’s already unstable psyche.
Melancholic people often use climbing plants for landscaping at home, which seem to create a living barrier, protecting them from the whole world.

Plants that will reveal all the secrets of your character
Even scientists recognize the influence of colors on a person’s mood. But let’s not pretend: few people study specialized literature in order to choose which flower to grow on the windowsill in order to strengthen personal qualities or level out negative traits of temperament.

The impact of indoor flowers on a phlegmatic person
An unemotional and uncommunicative phlegmatic person always sees things through to the end. He never rushes and is very patient. He is ready for routine work and performs it extremely meticulously. That's why even the most capricious plants feel great in his house. After all, a phlegmatic person is ready to tinker with each potted flower for a long time in order to create ideal conditions for it. Despite this, the phlegmatic person prefers not capricious exotics, but simple “grandmother’s” plants - aloe, crassula, violets. Things familiar from childhood give these people self-confidence.
Phlegmatic people love “cozy” flowers with muted colors. It is important for them that nothing irritates them or throws them off balance. Plants of deep pink, yellow or orange color can stir up and invigorate such a person a little.
