Feng Shui decor. 5 plants that renew the energy of your home

According to Feng Shui – a Chinese practice that seeks to balance energy through the decoration of spaces – plants are not only decorative elements that bring freshness to the room, but depending on where they are located, they help balance the energy of the home and its inhabitants, filter negative energy and attract well-being.

Find out what these plants are!

Bamboo

A bamboo – specifically a three-stalk bamboo – attracts good fortune by representing happiness, health and long life. It can be placed on the east side of the living room, to have health and well-being in the family, or on the northeast side to attract fortune.

Peonies

Peonies are a must-have in any home, because – if they are located in the northwest of the room – they attract positive energy in love and in the resolution of emotional conflicts. They are also a symbol of passion and romance, especially because of their aroma.

Succulents

Its ability to accumulate water in its leaves, stems and roots makes the succulent a very powerful plant when it comes to attracting good energies. It is recommended to place it on work tables, such as a desk, as well as in open spaces such as balconies, terraces or windows.

Sansevieria

One of the best outdoor plants, according to Feng Shui, is the mother-in-law's tongue or sansevieria. It acts as a magnet for good luck and as protection against negative energy, as long as it is not placed indoors, as it could have the opposite effect.

Bonsai

Bonsai is associated with fortune and good luck, which come when this plant is placed in gardens, terraces or balconies, obviously protecting them from overexposure to extreme temperatures both cold and hot.

It is worth mentioning that choosing the right pot for your plants can make them not only fill your space with good energy, but also with style and good taste. For taller plants – such as bamboo and mother-in-law's tongue – you can go beyond the ceramic box and opt for one made of different materials, neutral colours and with more artisanal finishes, such as, for example, the Conga Casatrama pot .

When incorporating these plants, it is important to give them good care and maintenance, since, just as there are elements that attract positive energy, there are also others that prevent it from flowing in the right way; among these, dead, wilted or thorny plants and flowers.
