The role of plants in Feng Shui is very strong. A properly-placed plant can change your family fortunes and make your life more prosperous.

Plants are considered highly auspicious in feng shui. It is always good to grow plants in the house, especially wooded plants.

Don’t place bonsai plants inside or outside the home as they represent stunted growth.

If you are a married couple and want children, avoid putting flowers in the bedroom. Instead, place a basket of fruits in your bedroom. Fruits, especially pomegranates, are a symbol of fertility.

Plants in the office can increase luck in your career. Place plants in the east, south or south-east corners of your office for maximum luck.

Don’t place thorny plants inside your home. Thorny plants do form a protective shield, and could be placed outside the home. Don’t place them too near the front door. They could be placed a little further away from the door, or in the balcony.

Fresh flowers bring luck and fortune in your home. Place fresh flowers in your living room on a regular basis. However, once they die, throw them out. Don’t leave dying flowers in your home.

Avoid placing dried flowers in your house. They are believed to bring misfortune. Artificial flowers are a far preferable option and are believed to bring luck.

Trim your plants regularly. Overgrown plants promote bad energy. Similarly, trim trees in your garden regularly. Don’t let them overwhelm your house.

Ever noticed lemons (nimbus) hanging on the entrances of shops? They are believed to ward off the evil eye, according to Hindu superstitious beliefs. Similarly, oranges and lemons are believed to be powerful symbols of fortune, and bring prosperity to the home. They should be placed at the entrance.

Do not place any flowers, plants or any other auspicious feng shui symbol in the bathroom. The good luck will backfire and turn into bad luck.
