Do you have any recommendations for which plants to put in your home for good feng shui?

I get asked a lot about which plants to bring into a space for good feng shui. There are so many options, and the best plant for you really depends on the conditions of your space, your intentions, and what you’re drawn to. Here are a few of my favorite plants to get you started:

One plant that I really love is the fiddle leaf fig. It has soft, round leaves that promote a healthy flow of qi, or life force energy, through your space. They are really beautiful plants, and can grow to be quite big! 

I also love monstera, with its beautiful heart-shaped leaves. This makes it a great plant to incorporate into your space if you want to invite more love and compassion into your life. If you are looking for more love in a partnership, or if you want to focus on self-love, you can place monstera in the Kun area of the feng shui bagua, which is related to relationships, including your relationship to yourself. 

The Chinese money plant, or pilea peperomioides, is also a wonderful feng shui plant. Its coin-shaped leaves can help to attract wealth and abundance. If you would like to invite more prosperity and abundance into your life, you might want to try placing a Chinese money plant in Xun position of your home or bedroom with that intention.

I hope this gives you a few ideas when choosing a feng shui plant for your home. Remember to also trust your intuition, and select a plant that you love!
