Indoor plants help create vibrant landscapes, improve air quality, reduce certain toxins, and have various Feng Shui benefits. However, families should be aware of plants that might negatively impact their health and wealth.
- Cactus
Cacti are succulent plants with various growth forms: they can grow into large trees, form shrubs, or spread close to the ground. However, cacti are often planted as fences, particularly in remote areas with limited economic resources or a lack of natural materials.
The reason is that in Feng Shui, the shape of a cactus is considered special; its upright growth resembles dragon bones, symbolizing strength and having the ability to counteract strong negative external influences. Therefore, while it is highly effective in neutralizing negative energy, it is extremely taboo to place it indoors.
According to Feng Shui, placing a cactus in the living room can cause the atmosphere to become tense, leading to frequent arguments and disputes. If placed on a desk, it can bring difficulties and obstacles to the owner’s career.
- Bonsai Banyan Tree
Similar to the cypress tree, it is not advisable to grow a bonsai banyan tree indoors because its roots are often large and coarse. In Feng Shui, this is considered unbalanced for the home.
Especially, the living room, which is associated with the Earth element, should avoid plants that can have a negative impact. Moreover, the banyan tree is often planted at temples and shrines, making it unsuitable for home environments.
- Plants with Long, Sharp Leaves and Yin Energy
It is advisable to avoid plants with Yin energy, such as those from the Ficus and Climbing Pea families. If these plants thrive, it could indicate the presence of negative energy in the house, suggesting a lack of cleanliness.
Additionally, plants with long, sharp leaves should not be grown indoors due to their unfavorable Feng Shui implications. They can lead to disputes and conflicts, causing a lack of peace in the household.
Indoors, plants should be placed near windows facing the east to receive morning sunlight, which benefits their growth and creates good Feng Shui for the family.
Planting a few outside and placing some decorative plants in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom not only enhances decoration but also helps balance the energy in the home. Feng Shui plants should be placed in empty spots, such as at the end of a hallway or in corners of the living or dining rooms.
These are some types of plants that should not be grown indoors to avoid draining wealth. You may want to consider this advice. If you need to find suitable pots for your plants, be sure to check out ATP’s selection!
