How many potted plants are best for Feng Shui in an office?
Generally speaking, one large plant in a 10 square meter office is sufficient, or you can also place two or three small potted plants. Plants such as pothos, money tree, happiness tree, fortune bamboo, and monster are all very suitable because they are good at purifying the air.It is difficult to give a definite answer on how many plants should be placed in a specific office, as it depends on the size of the office space. However, keep in mind that plants can effectively neutralize negative energy in the office. If too many plants are placed, they may have the opposite effect.
Notes on placing potted plants in the office:
1. Placement of potted plants on the desk(1) There are many computers and copiers on the desk, which produce a lot of radiation. Placing aloe vera can effectively resist radiation and also relieve eye fatigue.
(2) Different types of potted plants based on the season of birth:
People born in spring should not place too many plants on their desks. One white plant, such as water lily, jasmine, or golden heart spider plant, is enough; those born in summer have a strong fire element and a hot temper. They can place water-grown plants on their desks to improve this, such as water lily or orchid; those born in autumn should avoid white-flowered plants and instead place green plants, either soil-grown or water-grown, such as lucky bamboo or pothos. Those born in winter have a lot of "water" in their destiny, so they can place red plants on their desks, such as red chrysanthemum. This can help balance the yin and yang of the magnetic field.
(3) The desk should not face the entrance door. A broad-leafed plant can be placed on the desk to block the negative energy caused by people coming and going.
2. It is not advisable to place a row of plants on the ground outside the company's front desk. This may create a sense of distance when talking with guests. Instead, placing a water-grown plant on the desk can increase friendliness.
3. The desk should not be directly facing the restroom. In Feng Shui, "what you don't see is not a curse." You can place some large broad-leafed potted plants between the seat and the restroom. First, these plants can absorb the bad smells from the restroom, and second, they can also block negative energy.
4. Broad-leafed plants are best suited for indoor use, as their large leaves can block negative energy and absorb cosmic energy. Small-leafed or vine-like plants are generally considered yin, and they absorb people's energy. Therefore, it is better not to place them.
5. Actually, the most suitable location for potted plants in an office is in the corners of the company. Corners are considered unfavorable in Feng Shui. Potted plants not only beautify the environment but also help to neutralize certain negative energies in the office. Here are specific details for eight directions, which you can refer to: (1) The southwest direction belongs to earth (the坤卦), and it is the position of female leaders in the office. It is most suitable to place bright red flowers here. Those who are in sub-health condition can try placing yellow flowers in this area.
(2) The south direction belongs to fire (the离卦). Placing green plants in this direction can enhance the beauty and charm of women in the office. Placing red flowers in this area can bring wealth and prosperity to investors or those with flexible income.
(3) The northwest direction belongs to metal (the乾卦), which is the position of the top leader in the department. It is suitable to place white and yellow flowers, which can enhance the authority of the leader and promote unity among all employees.
(4) The north direction belongs to water (the坎卦). Placing white flowers here can effectively improve the tense relationships between employees and between superiors and subordinates.
(5) The northeast direction belongs to earth (the艮卦). This direction is suitable for younger members of the department. Placing yellow flowers here helps prevent conflicts and arguments.
(6) The east direction belongs to wood (the震卦). "Purple mist comes from the east": placing red flowers in this direction benefits those who do mental work, such as writers, editors, and all "thinking" jobs.
(7) The west direction belongs to metal (the兑卦). Placing white and yellow flowers in this direction can enhance the "sharpness" of people whose livelihood depends on "speech", such as lawyers, salespeople, and artists.
(8) The southeast direction belongs to wood (the巽卦), which affects interpersonal relationships, love, and marriage luck. Therefore, the preferred flower color is pink.
