When selecting Feng Shui plants for your home or office, there are two plants in particular that you will want to have for good fortune and long-term success luck. In this article we will cover what they are, some care tips and some of the beneficial locations.
1. Lucky bamboo or bamboo plant. The “Lucky Bamboo” plant excels at retaining the positive energetic qualities you want in a plant. Lucky bamboo (which, interestingly enough…is not real bamboo!) grows best in water and does well in containers that have stones or pebbles, rather than soil. The plant needs a fair amount of indirect light and requires little direct sunlight. Too much direct sunlight will cause the leaves to turn yellow.
In Feng Shui, bamboo has long been considered a strong symbol of good fortune and tenacity. Because the plant thrives relatively easily, with little maintenance, it retains a quality of independence and easy growth that strongly supports career and business success. It’s an ideal plant for people who don’t have a green thumb, but still want the living cure benefits of a lucky, healthy plant in close proximity.
You can order Lucky Bamboo online, but you’ll likely be able to find a suitable plant at major retail stores in your area. Make sure the plant you choose is healthy; avoid plants with yellow leaves or stems. Bamboo plants are strong, but they need adequate water and an occasional dose of fertilizer to thrive long-term.
Good locations for bamboo plants are in your office, in the career area, and also in the wealth corner. If you choose a smaller plant, a good location is your desk in the back left corner. The plant represents new growth and opportunities…exactly the kind of energy you want for your career or business!
2. Invite Feng Shui money plants into your life. There are two plants that are considered “money plants” and have earned a reputation for attracting wealth for their owners and for the businesses that grace their presence. The first is formally known as ‘Pachira’.
This feng shui plant embodies and harmoniously combines the five elements, creating a powerful living cure capable of attracting great wealth. However, the plant is not suitable for a desktop as it can grow quite large. It is often displayed in the corners of rooms where it can easily awaken and cleanse any stale energy residing there. This money plant does not require much extra care, just the average amount of watering and indirect sunlight.
The second Feng Shui plant associated with money and wealth is a biennial scientifically known as “lunaria annua”. Best suited for the wealth corner of your garden, this plant is one that spreads easily, symbolizing the multiplication of money. Seed pods are a popular favorite when composing dried flower arrangements, giving you the ability to carry a touch of richness indoors!
All Feng Shui Plants symbolizes new growth, vitality and vibrant life, naturally providing the energy for success and opportunity. See where you can apply these powerful live plant cures to your needy areas and enjoy the results!
