FENG SHUI AND HOUSE PLANTS


Trees, bushes, and thick plantings surrounding a house can be used as a substitute for a mountain or hill to shore up energy which would otherwise flow away. Planting a hedge or even placing a row of potted plants can help keep the qi on the property and close to the people dwelling in it. According to Feng Shui belief, it helps improve both the health and finance of the occupants.
Many Malaysians have heard stories of certain trees possessing spirits and the need to be very careful in terms of what type of tree is planted in their compounds and whether or not it should ever be uprooted. There is this belief that a tree in front of a door will block qi and bring bad luck. Dead or dying plants should be removed as soon as possible. The banana tree is one plant which quite a number of Malaysians believe to attract ghosts. I am pictured with a banana plant that is planted by my neighbour. The fruit and flower of this plant had decided that they wanted to be on my side of the house. My mum says that it'd bring good luck.
