Placing plants in the room is beneficial Having plants in the room is good! If green occupies 25% of the visual field, it can eliminate the physiological fatigue of the eyes. Therefore, placing green plants indoors not only serves the function of room decoration, creating a good indoor environment, which is pleasing to the eye and meets people's psychological needs, but also allows people to relax during stressful work. The volatile substances released by aromatic plants have a good regulating effect on people's emotions. The fragrance of some flowers can change people's listless state and boost their spirits, while others have a calming and sleep-inducing effect.
With the improvement of living standards, home decoration is essential, and those decoration materials contain toxic substances to a greater or lesser extent. Some flowers have strong resistance to poisons and can absorb certain toxic gases in the air, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, formaldehyde, hydrogen chloride, etc. Some foliage plants can also absorb radioactive substances. The volatile oils emitted by some flowers have significant bactericidal functions and can make indoor air clean and hygienic.
Plants in the bedroom affect sleep. Most plants will absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide at night. If you place too many plants in the bedroom, the quality of sleep will be greatly reduced, which is not good for health.

There are certain taboos when displaying green plants: there is no need to have fresh flowers in the house all year round, but there must be evergreen plants. If the potted plants wither, they must be replaced frequently. The living room should also avoid plants with thorny leaves, such as yucca from South America and dragon tongue from Mexico. The living room should also avoid plants with drooping leaves and artificially cultivated strange-shaped plants. It is best not to display plants with thorns such as cacti and prickly pears, because cacti carry evil spirits and will affect the auspicious aura of the house. In short, there are many things to pay attention to when placing green plants in the living room. Check whether you have placed the green plants correctly.
What plants are good for Feng Shui at home? It is not impossible to place plants indoors, but some varieties are not suitable for home use. Plants with thorns or needles such as azaleas, roses, and cacti are not suitable, otherwise they will affect the health of your family. You can choose some plants with lush branches and leaves to place in your home. The best color is agarwood green, and plants with flowers are also acceptable. The varieties include violets, evergreens, golden pothos, etc. These plants can make family members energetic and work more motivated. But you must take good care of it. Don't think that you can reap the benefits just by placing it there. If you find that any branches are withering, you must cut them off as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, if there are plants indoors, the most important thing is to have them grow vigorously and upwards, and avoid having them grow downwards and become withered and yellow. Because the plants in a house are related to the "qi" of the house in Feng Shui, and this "qi" must be prosperous. Therefore, it is auspicious if the plants are green, healthy and growing upward. Therefore, plants with a hard stem, such as evergreens and lucky bamboo, are more suitable. Withered and yellow plants and climbing plants that crawl downwards should not be grown indoors.
The principle of placing indoor plants is to focus on the vitality of onions (which brings good luck, can drive the magnetic field, retain wealth, and impart positive energy). We call them vitality plants, and we should avoid withering and dying (which brings bad luck, weakens positive energy, makes it difficult to gather wealth, or brings in evil spirits)! We can use it to fight evil with evil.
1. Plants to be placed in the living room. Suitable varieties of plants include lucky bamboo, ophiopogon, dactylifera, Podocarpus, bamboo palm, seven-leaf vine, money tree, zhaolihua, fortune tree, Clivia, orchid, cyclamen, citrus, nest fern, and dragon blood tree. These flowers are called "auspicious things" in Feng Shui, and can symbolize good luck, wealth and prosperity. Placing some fruit plants in the living room can symbolize a good harvest and abundant fruits in the home, and are plants that can enhance the good fortune of the whole family. At the same time, fruit plants can also enhance the popularity of the whole family, such as enhancing the relationship between husband and wife, harmonious coexistence among family members, and making the whole family harmonious. It is a good choice. However, this kind of fruit plant must be carefully cared for to avoid the fruit falling off, wilting, rotting, etc. due to poor care, and it should be replaced in time.
2. For many single men and women, placing plants in the bedroom must be what they hope to boost their love luck. And you can improve your love luck by placing fresh flowers in the bedroom. Because flowers are plants full of vitality and beauty, placing them in the bedroom will naturally give people a relaxed and happy mood and thus improve their love luck. Therefore, friends who yearn for romance and love can place flowers in the bedroom to boost their relationship. It is not recommended to place too many plants in the bedroom, especially foliage plants, because these plants will compete with people for oxygen at night. It is not suitable to place plants in the kitchen due to the large amount of oil smoke. If you want to place plants in the kitchen, you can choose hydroponic plants, which give people a pure and clean feeling.
3. The bathroom is very humid and has a large temperature difference between cold and warm. Planting moisture-resistant ornamental green plants can absorb pollutants. Therefore, ferns, weeping figs, golden pothos, etc. are suitable.
4. Looking out from the balcony, if the surrounding environment is bad, with sharp corners, straight streets, curved streets, or facing a temple, hospital, cemetery, etc., you must place plants that can ward off evil. The difference between plants that ward off evil and plants that bring prosperity is that plants that have thorns on their stems or leaves can drive away external evil and make it retreat, thus protecting the home. This type of evil-dispelling plants includes cacti, roses, azaleas, dragon bones, etc.
5. Place plants in the entrance hall. The first thing that comes into view after entering the house is the entrance hall. The entrance hall is also called "inner hall" in Feng Shui, which symbolizes the future development potential of family members. Therefore, the entrance hall is closely related to the family's career and fortune. If you can place a pot of vibrant plants next to the entrance or in the entrance hall, it will be conducive to the accumulation of wealth for family members. It is important to replenish water in time after placing the plants to prevent them from withering due to lack of water. This will be counterproductive and not conducive to the accumulation of wealth. You should ensure that you water them at least once a week to make your fortune flourish.
6. Place plants in the Peach Blossom Position: For friends whose zodiac signs are rat, dragon, and monkey, the Peach Blossom Position is due west; for friends whose zodiac signs are ox, snake, and chicken, the Peach Blossom Position is due south; for friends whose zodiac signs are tiger, horse, and dog, the Peach Blossom Position is due east; for friends whose zodiac signs are rabbit, sheep, and pig, the Peach Blossom Position is due north. Placing plants in this position can improve your love luck.
5. Large-leafed and thick-leafed plants can bring prosperity and wealth. This type of plant should usually be placed in the wealth position of the home or the wealth position of the current year to achieve the purpose of promoting wealth.
6. Placing climbing plants or thorny plants is not good for relationships. When placing plants, it is usually not advisable to place plants with thorns, such as cacti, aloe vera, pine bonsai, etc. Placing these thorny plants in the living room or bedroom of the home will also affect the relationship between family members. For example, couples are prone to quarrels and discord, and parents and children are prone to generation gaps. Avoid placing thorny plants in the home. However, in Feng Shui, this kind of plant with thorns can sometimes help to resolve the evil spirits of the surrounding buildings. For example, if you see the sharp corner of the building opposite the living room window rushing towards your home, you can place a cactus on the balcony of your living room to resolve it.
