Are fake plants bad in feng shui?

Feng Shui is a term often used in interior design today, but what does it really mean?

Feng Shui is a traditional Chinese practice that has been around for hundreds of years. It is a method of using energy to harmonize individuals and their environment.

When you bring positive energy into your space, it is believed that it helps attract wealth, good luck, and protective energy, ensuring a life of abundance!

Feng Shui can be incorporated into any living space, whether it is a house, office, or kitchen. Feng Shui works to create a balance of energy in your space to help you live a better life through a harmonious environment.

Plants associated with the wood element are believed to regulate this balance.

Can artificial plants bring positive Feng Shui energy?

The answer is yes.

Live plants can certainly help to generate positive energy or chi. However, the pollen and allergens they may bring can also have an adverse effect.

If you are always running a runny nose and reaching for tissues, then you may not be able to enjoy your room.

So how can you improve Feng Shui and enhance positive energy?

While real plants are often the first choice for Feng Shui, imitation or artificial plants are also excellent alternatives!

While live indoor plants have beneficial effects, they also require a lot of maintenance. Plus, they’re sometimes too time-consuming in our fast-paced society.

Even “easy to care for” plants like snake plants or jade plants can be challenging to care for when you live in the hustle and bustle of Singapore.

You don’t want to risk that, as dying plants release negative energy. If your plants have completely yellowed and you haven’t removed them, it will also release dead energy.

This means that fake plants can be considered the best feng shui plants because they’re easier to care for.

Regardless, the purpose of feng shui and creating good energy is to enjoy your surroundings, not spend all your time trying to save dead plants.

What are the elements of feng shui?

Colours

Feng shui places a lot of emphasis on colours because they can liven up any room.

For example, yellow is a great colour to improve the ambience as it can have a positive impact on physical and mental health.

It’s also said to bring vibrancy to a space, which can bring more positive energy to the room.

Placement

Since feng shui focuses on harmonizing natural light in your design, artificial houseplants should always be carefully placed in areas with natural light.

Additionally, since artificial houseplants require minimal maintenance, you can incorporate Feng Shui plants into your existing decor by placing them on the floor without having to worry about unsightly fallen leaves.

Smoothness

The best Feng Shui plants are those with smooth, green leaves, which may best replicate the beauty of real plants.

These plants are also visually appealing because they bring a smooth, uninterrupted aesthetic to a room.

Avoid succulents such as cacti, as they are believed to hinder positive energy with their "spiky" appearance.

Ultimately, all plants used for Feng Shui should have rounded leaves and bright colors to increase happy emotions.

Cleaning Plants

Cleaning fake plants will improve the Feng Shui of your office or home. However, unclean Feng Shui plants can weaken the positive energy we all seek.

Fortunately, our artificial plant solutions are extremely low maintenance - just dust and wipe with a damp cloth from time to time!
