Indoor plants are a gorgeous addition to any space, whether it is a home or an office. While a person may not put much thought into what kind of plants they’re buying, the ancient Chinese practice of feng shui sure does!
What Is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese practice that tells us that everything around us releases energy that affects our moods and situations. If this energy is positive, the person will be peaceful, satisfied and well-balanced.
Feng shui calculates the environment around a human being and its balance based on the presence of five elements — earth, fire, wood, metal and water. Achieving a balance between these elements results in the positive energy that enables one to have a great home life.
Plants are a great way to invite positive energy into a home because they consist of the ‘wood’ element. Since most modern homes are made up of metal, bringing in some wood can balance the energy. They’re also mostly green which feng shui considers a rejuvenating colour.

So, curious to know what the five houseplants are that boost the positive energy in a home? Let’s find out.
Chinese Money Plant
This adorable houseplant is a great addition to any living room. Its lush green leaves look like coins, making it a good choice for promoting wealth and good fortune for any home.
Pothos
It’s nearly impossible for Pothos to die even when the owner isn’t taking very good care of it. With its broad, variegated leaves, this plant is great at releasing good energy into the living space and absorbing all the negative, dead energy.
Fern
Ferns are not very fussy and thrive in indoor settings as long as they get enough humidity and light. One can place ferns in bathrooms, kitchens or in sharp corners of the house to dispel the bad energy associated with the sharp shapes.
Jasmine
If a homeowner is looking for a hint of romance in their home, jasmine is the houseplant to go for. Keep it near a south-facing window and let it fill the room with a wonderful smell and the most positive feelings.
Philodendron
With its gorgeous, heart-shaped leaves and lush stems, this plant is a great choice for a houseplant because it is so easy to take care of. It’s also associated with the fire element and will provide the cold corners of a home with some of its warm energy.
