My name is George Hyatt and I've been asked by My Seeds Australia for a quick 5.
I recommend planting a Citrus tree right out the front of your main entrance door.​​​​​
​
It's great Feng Shui & will attract financial opportunities for the occupants.
Here's 5 other great plantables that will increase and help balance your Box Style home.​
​
As box style homes encompass the element of Earth, adding balance to your dwelling is a must. To do this I would recommend using other elements that will even out the energy.
1. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
​
According to feng shui, Peace Lilies’ flexible, flowing leaves and lovely white flowers convert poison arrows or other negative energy into positive energy. Place your Peace Lilies in an area in your home where you could face more stress than usual, such as inside the home office, for optimal benefits.
​
The soil should always be kept slightly damp for Peace Lilies, and they do not fare well in direct sunshine. Their leaves can therefore become dried out and scorched by any direct sunlight.
Put yours in a spot that gets a lot of filtered, indirect sunlight.
2. Aloe Vera
​
Among all the plants for feng shui, Aloe Vera is one of the most common indoor plants because it requires little maintenance.
This feng shui plant works to eliminate unluck and negative vibes. The optimal location for this plant to filter electromagnetic energy is three feet or less from your computer.
​
3. Philodendron
​
For those who do not have green thumbs, one of the simplest houseplants to grow is the Philodendron.
These houseplants are able to tolerate poor lighting and low maintenance.
In addition, Philodendron also promotes a better indoor environment since it’s a great air purifier.
According to feng shui experts, the heart-shaped leaves symbolize the fire element and may infuse emotion into the cold, dark corners of your home.
4. Snake Plant (Dracaena trifasciata)
Snake plants are actually considered to provide good fortune and pleasant energy in feng shui despite having harsh, pointed, lance-shaped leaves.
This may be because they are simple to grow and have a remarkable capacity to filter the air.
Snake plants are useful for balancing the heavy, downward energy of ceiling fixtures like fans or beams because of their upward-facing leaves. Although these plants can survive in nearly any degree of illumination, they prefer strong sunlight.
​
5. Jade Plant (Crassula ovata)
​
Jade plants are so firmly connected with good fortune, wealth, and success that they are also known as money plants and lucky plants. These succulents feature leaf segments that are delicately rounded and coin-shaped, as well as strong brown stems that resemble little tree trunks.
Jade plant needs at least six hours of strong sunlight every day; smaller plants prefer filtered or indirect light, while more mature plants like a little direct light. Whenever a Jade plant’s soil is fully dry, water it thoroughly and let any extra water drain from the container. Jade plants require minimal maintenance and they are not particularly prone to pests and diseases.
​
Because it’s a common housewarming present for your family and friends, the Jade plant is also known as the “Friendship Plant”. A Jade plant is a sign of good luck and riches.
