The Best Plants for the Living Room in Feng Shui
The best plants for the living room in feng shui are those that attract lots of positive energy into the space that symbolizes hospitality, friendship, family, and relationships. Choose healthy plants with soft, rounded, or heart-shaped leaves such as ficus, philodendrons, palm plants, or money trees.
About the Living Room in Feng Shui
In feng shui, the living room is one of the most important areas in the entire house. It’s also one of the best places for displaying plants because houseplants attract lots of energy, and lots of positive energy is necessary for creating a lively and welcoming space for living, conversing, having fun, entertaining guests, and connecting with your family.
General Rules for Good Feng Shui in the Living RoomCommanding PositionIn the living room, the largest sofa should be in the commanding position. Rules for determining the commanding position of the sofa are similar to those of positioning the bed in a bedroom.
The sofa should be along (not against) the wall that’s opposite the doorway or entryway. The sofa should face the entryway but not be directly in front of it.
Cultivating ConnectionSelect and arrange furniture in a way that encourages conversation and connection so that all of your guests have a place to sit and can all see one another from their seats.
If possible, arrange your furniture so that a fireplace, rather than a television, is the focal point.
The living room is for living your waking life, so it should be kept light and bright. Even if your living room is in a darker place in your home, try to at least keep it brighter than your bedroom.
Avoiding Clutter and Keeping Clear PathwaysLike other areas of your home, clutter is a major problem in feng shui because it blocks the free flow and circulation of positive energy. Make regular sweeps through your living room to clear out any items that aren’t absolutely essential to the purposes of the room.
Additionally, arrange your furniture so that you have clear pathways to move around the space and access everything you need. It’s also important to keep your furniture at least a few inches away from the walls. This will allow the energy and air to maintain a complete circulation through your entertaining space so that no corner feels dark, dead, or negative.
The Role of Plants and the Living Room in Feng Shui
In feng shui, plants should be used to draw positive energy into your home’s living room to create a lively space for welcoming people into your home, hosting, forming connections, and bonding with friends and family.
When determining where to position plants throughout your living room, it’s important to consider the different areas of the bagua map and how they correspond to your space. Position your houseplants in corners of your living room that represent the areas of life you most want to improve or draw more energy into.
For example, the southeast corner, associated with fire, represents wealth and good fortune. By placing plants in the southeast, their wood element will feed the fire element and infuse your life with more opportunities to prosper.
The northeast and southwest corners of the living room are associated with the earth element, and the wood element (plants) destroys the earth element.
For good feng shui, it is not recommended to place large plants that generate a considerable amount of wood energy in these corners of the living room because it will lead to the destruction of the earth element and an imbalance of the five forces.

12 of the best plants for positive energy |

With feng shui plants you can welcome positive energy into your home, as well as enjoying the beauty of these living accessories.
We have all gone a bit mad for house plants in the past few years, especially with our homes becoming spaces to work as well as live and relax. There are many benefits to adding indoor plants to rooms in your home, not least that they can soften and enhance the look of a space, but are even said to improve sleep in the case of bedroom feng shui.
But have you also considered that through careful choice and placement of feng shui plants for specific spaces in the house, you can improve the flow of positive energy in your life?
'In feng shui we seek to improve the flow of Chi which is our vital life force energy. Living green plants represent the wood element, which is said to cultivate human hardiness, flexibility, healing and growth. So not only can you bring these qualities into your life and home by adding plants, but by bringing in the element of nature into your interior space you will have more harmony between your inner environment and outer environment,' explains Anjie Cho , New York based interior architect, feng shui advisor and author of Holistic Spaces, 108 ways to create a Mindful and Peaceful Home.

You can include a feng shui plant in any room in the house, but there are certain choices that may be better for different areas.
'In general, look for soft, rounded and especially heart shaped leaves in feng shui plants – you want to bring in more ease and flow to your life and space,' says Anjie Cho. 'For instance, in a partnership area, such as a bedroom, you might not want to place two cacti, as this would introduce prickly, sharp energy.'
'Spiky plants are not good for feng shui; it is said that sharp points drain the personal energy, so something like a cactus doesn’t promote good energy,' agrees Rana Kashiwabara , a San Francisco based, feng shui certified interior designer.
'When thinking about plant selection, most are naturally air cleaning indoor plants, the wood element brings balance, and adding green color to the space is very good, because it is a very uplifting color. Rounded edged leaves are good for all parts of the home because they bring great subtle energy,' Rana adds.
1. Money tree – Pachira aquatica
(Image credit: Money tree from Bloomscape)
'Money trees are commonly used as feng shui plants and believed to bring wealth and good fortune,' says Bloomscape's gardening expert, Lindsay Pangborn.
'But it's also not just financial abundance they represent – financial wealth doesn’t necessarily mean someone feels abundant inside,' Anjie Cho adds. 'Plants don’t grow quickly, they take time to cultivate and that teaches you patience. It's not about getting rich quick, but how to create a steady, healthy flow of wealth into your life.'
With distinctive features, including its palmate leaves and gracefully braided trunk, 'the money tree not only absorbs toxins from the air, but can act as an impactful decor piece,' Lindsay adds.
Make sure you learn about money tree care to keep your plant healthy and improve its feng shui benefits.
'A money tree prefers deep, infrequent waterings when the soil volume is 75 per cent dry. It thrives in bright, indirect light, growing most evenly when it’s regularly turned so that each side receives an equal amount of light,' says Lindsay.
2. White bird of paradise – Strelitzia nicolai

'Any healthy indoor plant growing well is excellent for feng shui, encouraging nourishing positive energy.
Foliage plants with lush leaves are traditionally the best feng shui plants, promoting clean air and positive energy in living spaces,' says Mark of Happy Houseplants .
The Strelitzia Nicolai, or White Bird of Paradise is a bold, elegant, tall houseplant, originally native to South Africa.
'Although it's a tall houseplant, it doesn't take up a lot of space with its slim form. It likes high or afternoon sunlight and wants to be kept dry, so go easy on the watering. This is a great beginner's plant as it is easy to care for,' adds Mark.
3. Jade plant or money plant – Crassula ovata
(Image credit: Crassula ovata from Hortology)
'The jade plant or money plant is a popular succulent house plant with a miniature tree-like structure and thick, fleshy, opal-shaped leaves,' says Mark McCance, Director of plant and pot supplier Hortology .
'Crassula ovata is believed to attract wealth due to the coin-shaped nature of its leaves, and also bring good fortune,' he adds.
'The money plant is a good feng shui plant for office Feng Shui. Typically, the southwest area of the home attracts wealth, prosperity, and abundance. But you can use these plants to attract wealth and prosperity in any space, 'says Rana Kashiwabara.
Money plants prefers bright, indirect light, with a few hours of direct sunlight each day to help keep their foliage full and vibrant, making them the perfect plants for windowsills and conservatories.
Money plants are easy to care for, and they typically have uniform growth. Find out how to care for succulents to keep them in the best condition.
'These plants do not need to be pruned regularly to look clean. They will hold all their foliage for months without dropping a leaf if cared for properly. When rotated regularly – every watering – at about 45 degrees, they should offer nice uniform growth throughout. Monthly leaf wiping should be done to keep them looking their best and to allow for optimal photosynthesis,' adds Matt Aulton, co founder of Plant Proper .
When growing jade plants indoors, 'place them in a sunny location near a south- or west-facing window. If the plant is not getting enough light, it will start to stretch and lose its compact shape,' says Brody, co founder of The Indoor Nursery .
4. Pothos
(Image credit: Marble Queen pothos from Live Trends)
'I love pothos as they are hardy plants that even a beginner can take care of,' says Anjie Cho.
'They create a sense of abundance and generosity as they are so easy to propagate. Just as if you have a fruit tree on your land, it gives more than one family can consume. So too, house plants can also offer this teaching on sharing and generosity and abundance,' says Anjie Cho
It is easy to get to grips with pothos plant care and there are many varieties of these excellent feng shui plants to choose from, such as the Marble Queen pothos from Urban Jungle at LiveTrends , with its waxy green leaves streaked with white.
5. Snake plant – sansevieria

'A snake plant, sansevieria, that has a sword like leaf shape works well for a hallway or entry way as a feng shui plant that offers a feeling of protection,' says Rana Kashiwabara.
'You can place plants either side of a front door to create a gateway to enhance the positive flow of Chi into your home,' adds Anjie Cho.
Snake plants are very low maintenance and can handle low light levels so are a good choice for low light plants.
Snake plants also produce oxygen at night time, helping to cleanse your indoor environment, so are a good choice as a bedroom plant.
'A snake plant also protects you from negativities that could come from the bedroom door, so having her will give you peace of mind,' says Clara Leung of Clara's Green House .
'She adjusts to room temperature: when the room is too hot, she will decrease temperature by giving cool O2. Likewise, when the room is too cold, she will increase the temperature by giving a warmer 02,' Clara adds. She recommended placing a snake plant on the left side from your bed frame or headboard.
'The best way to successfully water these plants is to check them weekly to see if they are light when they are lifted.
If so, it's time to water. Water snake plants thoroughly. Allow the water to run through the soil completely saturating it and draining out of the drainage holes,' advises Matt Aulton of Plant Proper.
6. Philodendron heart leaf – Philodendron scandens

'The Philodendron heart leaf is an air-purifying vining plant that is easy to care for and has fun, heart-shaped, glossy leaves,' explains Lindsay Pangborn of Bloomscape.
'This low-maintenance plant is a great addition for an office desk or shelf where its vines can trail down,' boosting positive energy as you work.
It is very forgiving feng shui plant and able to tolerate all types of neglect, including low light – so is a good choice as a winter house plant – tight roots, and inconsistent watering. 'To help it thrive, provide bright indirect light. A humidity boost is not required, but higher humidity levels promote larger leaf development,' says Lindsay.
7. Anthurium clarinervium
(Image credit: Anthurium clarinervium from Happy Houseplants)
The leaves of the Anthurium clarinervium are large, dark green – almost black – have a beautiful velvet texture, and are the perfect heart feng shui plant shape.
'The white veins stand out against the leaves' dark green, forming a stunning pattern. This is a fantastic foliage house plant, and will look amazing in any room in your home. It loves humidity, so a shower room, bathroom, or steamy kitchen would also be perfect for it,' says Mark from Happy Houseplants.
8. Rubber plant – ficus elastica
(Image credit: rubber plant from Hortology)
'One of the best air-filtering houseplants, the rubber plant features wide, glossy green foliage and can reach ultimate heights of 32 feet (10m) with the correct care,' says Mark McCance of Hortology.
'The broad leaves of the rubber plant are said to help the flow of positive energy throughout interiors, helping to eradicate negative Chi and promote health and prosperity,' he adds.
These feng shui plants require their soil to remain moist at all times; allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly in between waterings and apply a small dose of plant nutrition 1-2 times a month during the growing season.
'It is a bit of a superhero when it comes to removing toxins from your air, keeping you feeling refreshed. To optimize the feng shui of the plant, we suggest that you position it in a sunny spot that is in the east or south east of your home. In this position, it should bring an air of calm and positivity into your space,' advises Shannon Barnadin, co owner of The African Garden .
'As the ficus is related to the fig plant, it is connected with the good luck that figs are supposed to bring,' Shannon adds.
9. Rattlesnake plant – Calathea lancifolia
(Image credit: Leaf Envy)
Popularly known as the rattlesnake plant, 'this beauty has fresh green leaves with darker green stripes and burgundy coloring on the underside. Originating in Brazil, Calathea Lancifolia is perfect as a taste of the tropical rainforest,' says Mark of Happy Houseplants.
Its common name has come about because of its markings, which look like a rattlesnake's skin. 'It needs bright but indirect light – if placed in full sun, the leaves may curl up and burn. Always keep Calathea damp throughout the year, but let it dry out between waterings so that the roots can breathe,' Mark adds.
As well as being good feng shui plants, calathea also make great pet-friendly house plants.
10. String of hearts or hearts on a string – Ceropegia Woodii
(Image credit: string of hearts plant from Happy Houseplants)
'More commonly known as a string of hearts, the heart-shaped leaves make Ceropegia woodii the perfect feng shui plant gift for someone special,' says Mark of Happy Houseplants.
'It is an easy-care delight, with trailing leaves in gorgeous green and purple. A very fast grower, with a bit of care, this little beauty will thrive in a small pot for years. It likes a shady corner, but it will also enjoy a sunny spot, so it's not a fussy plant,' he adds.
11. Aloe vera
(Image credit: Aloe vera from Hortology)
'A trendy and easy-to-care-for house plant, aloe vera has thick, fleshy stems that contain a translucent gel that is favored for its healing and soothing properties.
'The Aloe vera is also said to ward off bad luck and bad energy, helping you to realign your space and create a welcoming and positive aura,' says Mark McCance of Hortology.
Learn about aloe plant care to get the most from these feng shui plants. 'As they only require watering every 2-3 weeks during summer, they are the perfect addition for homeowners who are fond of a summer getaway,' Mark adds.
12. Peace lily

The peace lily is a favorite in feng shui, and is known to keep the energy of a room positive and upbeat. The leaves are used to attract wealth, while the flowers bring good luck,' says Brody of The Indoor Nursery.
It is important to familiarise yourself with peace lily care to grow the plants successfully.
A sunny windowsill is a great spot for these plants and they need god air circulation.
Where should feng shui plants be placed?
You can place feng shui plants in any room in your house and they are a great living room feng shui idea. Ideally plant them in the corner of the room.
'In feng shui, the belief is to have a healthy balance of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water – the five elements,' explains interior designer Rana Kashiwabara.
'The home is divided into nine different areas of energy, each with its own theme and distribution of the five elements. More of the wood element is needed in the east, southeast, and south parts of the home. In my opinion, bringing in plants to every space, with different shapes of leaves, is of benefit because the five elements are incorporated by colors, shapes, and reflection; it doesn’t need to be literal,' Rana adds.
There are many schools of feng shui and while some may advise the placement of plants in certain room, others don't.
'For instance, some advise not to place plants in the bedroom as they are too active, but follow your own feelings and experience,' says Anjie Cho.
If you do prefer to have plants in a bedroom, identify the relationship area. 'Stand in the doorway of the bedroom looking in and the far right is the relationship area. Here you can place two plants. They don’t have to be the same, but a typical feng shui plant choice is two bamboo stocks in one base, as a symbol of growth in your partnership,' adds Anjie.
'Nothing should be climbing – such as a vine – in the bedroom. Pothos, or devil's ivy, should only go in the kitchen or an office with computers, to suck up the bad energy from the computers,' says David Angelov, CEO of PlantParenthood in Massachusetts.

Which plant is good for feng shui?
There are many plants that can be good for feng shui.
It is important, however, that 'when choosing the type of plant you’ll use in your home, consider the amount of light that these areas of your home experience. Additionally, different types of plants bring different types of energy into your home. You’ll want to consider both of these factors when choosing your plant,' says Andra of Trendey .
'You should never put a houseplant in an area where it won’t thrive, as a dying or ill plant will enhance the energies of sickness, difficulty and decay in your home and really you will want an ulpifting life space,' advises Anjie Cho.

Feng Shui flowers for the bedroom, kitchen, living room
Surely you have never heard of Feng Shui? According to this Eastern teaching, absolutely all plants have vital energy, but different! Find out what abilities your "wards" are endowed with and how, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, flowers in an apartment can improve the emotional background.
Flowers for the bedroom, kitchen, flowers for the living room and hallway - which ones to choose?
Important rules
Like any living organism, plants emit energy and absorb it from the environment. In order for this energy exchange to benefit the “green pets” and all household members, you need to know a few nuances.
Healthy Feng Shui flowers give life-giving power to the surrounding world, and especially intensively during the period of awakening, growth and flowering. The abundance of diseased flowers creates a negative background around itself, and this is another reason to treat your pets as soon as possible!
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, flowers fill women with vitality, strengthen the female energy "yin", the deficiency of which is fraught with hormonal and gynecological problems. The awakening of a new life, flowering, growth is a reflection of the primary feminine, and caring for flowers gives a woman renewal, spiritual harmony and peace! About which flowers have the energy of "yin" and "yang", you can What flowers have the energy of "yin" and "yang".
Note
Feng Shui (Feng Shui or Feng Shui) is an ancient Taoist practice that teaches how to live in harmony with the environment. Feng Shui implies the presence of “chi” energy, the flows of which permeate everything around! By directing them, we can create an energy imbalance, or, conversely, achieve balance. There is a whole science of energy zoning, and, in other words, the organization of living space. Everything, from the arrangement of rooms in an apartment to interior details, affects the creation of a favorable atmosphere. Flowers, as real sources of energy, have a special place in the teaching!
It is believed that home flora feel great only in favorable emotional conditions. So, if there are constant scandals and a tense atmosphere at home, the flowers are unwell. If peace and love reign in the family, green pets delight with lush foliage and flowering! In this regard, it is not recommended to deal with flowers in a bad mood.
If the day is not going well, postpone the procedures for caring for them until tomorrow!
Indoor plants are among the music lovers! It is believed that their growth and development is favored by music, especially classical and jazz.
Feng Shui zoning
The more flowers in the apartment, the better? However, in feshui science, their location plays a big role. After all, each area of \u200b\u200bthe dwelling is responsible for a certain aspect of our life. The site flowery-blog.ru will help in choosing the right plants.
The bedroom is a resting place where we gain strength. Here, oddly enough, indoor flowers will be superfluous. After all, they, being a source of energy during the day, actively absorb it at night! It is highly undesirable to have thorny plants in the matrimonial bedroom - cacti, aloe, haworthia, which can negatively affect relationships with a lover, and besides, cause insomnia.
Flowers for the bedroom should have a "feminine" energy! These are, for example, spathiphyllum, violet, cyclamen, crassula, or climbing varieties with rounded foliage , for example, hoya, peperomnia.
Plants blooming with red and pink flowers, among other things, can enhance the senses and arouse passion! Just take the “neighbors” a place away from the bed so that they do not disturb your sleep.
Prickly pets can be accommodated in room , which, according to Feng Shui, is the focus of mental activity. Plants with “male” energy will come in handy here, which stimulate the intellect, are responsible for attentiveness, logic and creativity. These are, for example, the same cacti, bamboo, eucharis, zimioculcas, rubber ficus, as well as large palm trees and succulents with pointed leaves and shoots directed upwards.
In the children's room you can place citrus fruits, their aroma improves mood, and the biofield helps in the assimilation of knowledge and comprehension of sciences. Indoor hibiscus relieves fatigue and laziness, and cyclamen drives away bad dreams and causeless fears. Also, when forming the nursery flora, do not forget to take into account the gender of the child in order to create a yin-yang energy balance in the room.
Living room is a meeting and communication place where we receive guests, this room, according to Eastern teachings, is a real bunch of energy. You can neutralize its negative sides with the help of energy vampires from the world of fauna! These include monstera, ivy, ferns, as well as large deciduous trees and palms. After all, the larger the plant, the stronger its influence. Therefore, observe the proportionality of space and flower! Put these flowers in the living room and also at entrance hall - zone of constant circulation of energy. Large trees will not allow "leaks" of positive energy flows and will not let negative ones into the house.
The living room will also benefit from filter plants that purify the air and have a positive effect on the energy of the room. These are chlorophytum, sansevieria, aglaonema, dracaena, ficus, nephrolepis, and citrus fruits. Such useful properties allow using these flowers for the kitchen .
This room belongs to the element of Water, according to Feng Shui it is very important to keep it in order and clean. Green cleaners will do just fine with these tasks!
Note
The south-eastern part of the apartment is responsible for peace in the family and harmony in relationships. Here, according to Eastern practice, the most favorable place for growing flowers. By the way, this location is also recommended in terms of lighting (it provides the much-needed diffused light for the flowers)!
Now you know how to use the practice of zoning in the arrangement of a green corner. Thanks to the advice of the eastern teachings of Feng Shui, the flowers in the apartment will give their life energy to the household.

Zoning of the living room on the cardinal points
The choice of room for the living room is very important, because its location has a strong influence on the energy of the entire room.
It is important to keep the floors level, especially in the living room and kitchen. The floor in the living room should be on a par with the floor of the kitchen, in order to avoid the influx of not very pleasant guests who will steal your energy and interfere with you.
For the good functioning of Qi energy, it is necessary to zone the room.
Objects are best placed depending on the cardinal directions.
