Manifesting good health, wealth and luck? One way to welcome that positive energy into your home is through feng shui. All spaces need living energy, says feng shui expert Susan Chan, and feng shui plants are an easy, natural way to bring in vibrant chi, or vital energy. Placing these plants with set intentions can help invite certain energies inside your home, whether that's attracting love by finding a plant with heart-shaped leaves or tapping good luck and fortune by displaying an upward-growing money tree.

With all the time you spend at home, it's particularly critical to prioritize feng shui in your bedroom, living room and office space, says Bloomscape gardening expert Lindsay Pangborn. Plants act as living decor that adds not only dimension and color to a space but also a touch of the natural world. "Plants have been proven to show increases in creativity, productivity and a positive outlook," she says. And Pangborn doesn't see this trend slowing down any time soon. "People will continue to improve their living spaces and will do so with plants!"

We spoke to feng shui experts Anjie Cho and Susan Chan about how to choose the best feng shui plants for wealth, love, health and more. Here are nine feng shui plants that are all about bringing good energy into your space, from affordable indoor plants to houseplants that thrive in office spaces (even if they're sometimes neglected).

Monstera Deliciosa

Loved for their large, heart-shaped leaves, these stunning plants, also known as the "split-leaf philodendron," can help tap into the marriage and relationships area of your space. With plenty of indirect light and the right amount of watering, the monstera plant is easy to please.

Money Tree Plant

The money tree’s name actually derives from feng shui practices, encouraging the belief that it will bring positive energy and good luck to the plant owner and space, says Pangborn. This plant can thrive in indirect light, needs only infrequent watering and works perfectly for smaller living spaces. According to Pangborn, its presence has also been said to reduce stress and anxiety.

Philodendron Green

With quick-growing vines and low-maintenance care, the classic philodendron plant makes a well-suited feng shui plant for channeling love. Its soft, heart-shaped leaves can help activate the marriage and relationships area of your space, according to Cho. For added effect, you may want to own two! "A pair of complementary plants can emphasize an equal, balanced partnership you'd like to invite in," she says.

Pothos

Pothos plants are excellent air purifiers, perfect for the neglected corners of your household like atop a kitchen cupboard or in the bathroom. They tend to have long, leafy vines that make them optimal indoor hanging plants. For forgetful green thumbs, these plants are incredibly low maintenance, even earning the nickname of Devil's Ivy for being near impossible to kill. According to Cho, these are great for beginners. They're one of the easiest feng shui plants to care for, and their soft, rounded leaves promote softness and harmony throughout your space.

Jade Plant

In feng shui practices, jade plants represent good luck and fortune due to the plant’s round leaves. Pangborn recommends jade plants because they thrive in a sunny area and have low maintenance watering needs. They do best in bright indoor spaces — like a south- or west-facing window.

Calathea Plant

Thanks to their colorful, detailed striped leaves, these potted plants sit pretty on any windowsill and bring vibrance to your space. The calathea requires a little bit more maintenance than other houseplants, however. They walk a fine line between needing to be moist, but not saturated, and they cannot tolerate periods of dryness. Wilting or dying plants can invite negative chi, so be sure to properly care for your calathea. But if you're up to the challenge, it is known to be a great indoor air purifier and will reward you with stunning leaf coloration.

Lucky Bamboo Plant

Encourage personal growth and positive energy with this quick-growing lucky bamboo plant. Its gathered stalks can reach heights of about 16 inches, while ones potted in pebbles nurture root growth. Only bright-to-medium light is needed for bamboo to thrive, making it a great choice for office decor. As it effortlessly sprouts, it will inspire you to do the same.

Snake Plant

This potted plant's a real charmer: its two-toned design adds vibrant color to a space while its upward growth encourages good chi. A member of the succulent family, the snake plant is super easygoing — it can tolerate low light and drought!

Rubber Tree Plant

If a small indoor tree for feng shui is on your radar, the rubber tree plant's thick, glossy leaves and purple stripes may fit the bill. Its gently curving leaves can soften harsh areas of your home. This tropical plant gets super thirsty, so water often to keep the soil moist at all times. It isn't very apartment-friendly, though, as it won't do well in low-light spaces.

What is feng shui?

Feng shui, an ancient Chinese art of arranging buildings, objects and space, looks to nature as a cue to find harmony and balance in an environment: Feng means wind and shui means water, according to Chan. It considers the layout and energy of your home along with your relationship to it in order to achieve ultimate harmony.

How to choose the best feng shui plants

Keep a space's energy soft and harmonious by choosing a plant with healthy, rounded leaves, not dry or spiky ones. Chan recommends plants that grow upward, promoting the positive movement of energy. For example, bamboo grows quickly and easily, which translates to growth and prosperity in that area of your life, she says.

What is a bagua map?

Good Housekeeping

Feng shui plants can be used in any area of your home, regardless of the bagua, says Cho. But if you would like to improve the energy in a certain part of your life, find that area in your home using the bagua map, then place an upward growing plant there. Set your intention that the plant's energy will help with growth and revitalize any potential "stuck" energy.

Pretend you're looking in at your space from the front doorway: the wealth and prosperity area is the far upper left of your home while the marriage and relationship area is the far upper right. Bonus points for adding a plant with heart-shaped leaves in the marriage and relationships space or a money tree in wealth and prosperity. Or, look for a plant or a pot that matches the color of that bagua area, says Cho. It will resonate even more within the space.

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.

The best feng shui plants

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

(Image credit: Philodendron heartleaf from Bloomscape)

'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.

What plants bring good luck?

There are a number of the feng shui plants listed above that are believed to bring good luck.

These include the rubber plant, the snake plant, jade plant and money tree. But there are many more that could bring good luck and add to the positive energy in your home.

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.

— When choosing indoor flowers, consider the size and shape of the plant, and in flowering plants, their color.

- According to Feng Shui, flowers should be kept in the house that grow and stretch upwards. It is believed that flowers stretching upwards activate positive energy, and plants with drooping leaves and flowers, on the contrary, ground energy.

- According to the laws of Feng Shui, flowers with rounded leaves should be preferred.

— According to the energy released, Feng Shui divides all indoor flowers into plants with male energy — “Yang” and female “Yin” energy. Plants with male energy, among the most widely known, include: dracaena, chlorophytum, asparagus, sansevier, lemon and other types of citrus fruits. Plants with sharp leaves are more characteristic of Yang energy flowers, they speed up the movement of energy and grow straight up. Plants with female energy include: violet, jade (money tree), cyclamen, begonia. Branching or creeping plants with rounded leaves reflect Yin qualities to a greater extent.

— To create a correct and favorable microclimate and energy balance of the dwelling, it is necessary to have both Yang and Yin plants in the house.

- It should be remembered that in feng shui, any dried plants are energy vampires and are not recommended to be kept indoors, as they will absorb your energy.

- When choosing a place for flowers in the house, you need to know that Jan plants should be kept in rooms that are characterized by the predominance of male energy - a study, a living room. Also, in cases where the room is located in the southern, southeastern or southwestern sector, the presence of Yang plants is simply necessary. Yin plants are preferably kept in the kitchen and children's room. These plants should be small.

- It is not recommended to keep many houseplants in the bedroom, and they should not be placed too close to the bed.

According to Feng Shui teachings, positive energy is inherent in the following houseplants: amaryllis, alpine violet, bougainvillea, hippeastrum, geranium, flowering begonias, ficus, arborescens, camellia, Chinese rose, cyclamen, arrowroot, orange and lemon tree, cissus, potted chrysanthemum.

Plants with heavy energy include: cacti, yucca, sansevera (pike tail), neoregelia, echmea. However, they can also be grown at home and successfully block the harmful Sha energy.

According to Feng Shui, all flowers radiate their own unique energy. Knowledge of the energy impact of a plant on a person and the energy of space is extremely important for their correct selection.

Ficus. It has the ability to neutralize aggression and negative energy well. Creates a favorable atmosphere in the house. However, it should not be placed in the marriage sector, since its presence in this place can worsen the relationship between spouses.

Pelargonium (geranium). Indoor geranium belongs to plants 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 several minutes, you can feel energized and rested. You need to know that geranium releases essential oils, purifies the air, improves metabolism, reduces pressure and calms the nervous system. It is not recommended to put the plant next to the bed, because inhaling essential oils for a long time can cause headaches and sometimes allergies.

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.

Cactus. Refers to the 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 neutralize rage and anger. They are especially shown to quick-tempered people. This amazing plant contributes to the introduction of elements of logic into emotions, and helps not to concentrate on experiences.

Poinsettia and arrowroot. These houseplants are great for stimulating the search for something new. Often people who have lost the meaning of life find it again. Poinsettia helps to reveal new qualities in oneself and determine one's profession, promotes communication.

Money tree (fat woman) has long been considered a symbol of prosperity, prosperity 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, shop, office.

Bamboo.

Feng Shui masters advise planting this tree with your own hands, putting a coin or several coins in the pot along with the earth. When the plant grows up, it is necessary to tie a red ribbon on its trunk and decorate it with coins. This feng shui symbol should be located near a window facing southeast. If there is no window in the wealth zone, then you can equip artificial lighting and place the money tree on a table, shelf or stand nearby.

The plant absorbs negative energy well. In Feng Shui, it is believed that when negative energy passes through a bamboo stalk, it changes to positive. The plant is recommended to be kept in a floor and wide vase in the corner of the room.

Share

Lemon tree. Lemon is especially recommended to be placed near children, as this tree develops curiosity and increases the desire for knowledge. Lemon increases activity and independence.

There are many other indoor feng shui mascot flowers that have various magical effects on a person and the energy of a home.

It should also be remembered that according to the teachings of Feng Shui, fruit-bearing and flowering plants release more energy than decorative leafy plants, and large plants - more than small ones.

Plants with lush, soft foliage radiate more positive energy than plants with sharp, hard, thorny leaves.

These tips will help you arrange the right flowers in your home. It depends on the observance of these rules whether the flowers will harmonize the energy of the house, or, conversely, will bring disharmony to your home.

When arranging flowers, observe the following rules:

- it is not recommended to place indoor flowers between two doors or in a straight line between a door and a window;

- plants with thorns, hard leaves or needles should not be placed closer than one meter from a working, sleeping or resting place;

Keep at home only plants that you like, because any flower is highly sensitive and will not grow well in an environment of antipathy;

- properly care for the flowers, if you want them to grow well, please you and fill the house with positive energy.

And the most important thing is that any flower - a Feng Shui talisman - fully demonstrates its capabilities, and its energy field is active - show your attention and love to it, 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.

This distribution applies not only to interior design, but also to living plants. They need to be bought with love, placed in the right places, and cared for and taken care of.

Feng Shui

If the influx of Qi energy is strong, then this can negatively affect the home environment. The flow of Scha energy appears where there are many sharp corners. To reduce the effect of negative flows at home, you need to equip the room with green friends.

The Feng Shui system includes five major elements: water, fire, earth, metal, wood. Each of these species is capricious, and requires an individual kingdom in the house. In fact, plants are classified as a wood element, so the east side is the most successful placement variation. Also, a tree in feng shui means money and lifelong well-being, the achievement of goals, health and career growth.

However, there are also plants that assign themselves to other subspecies. For example, pink, purple, red flowers belong to the element of fire. In this regard, the southern part of the room is considered a safe place for them.
