Feng Shui: Bamboo and Jade plants

 Bamboo plants are great for attracting money and improving your finances including a home business.

The number of bamboo stems is important depending on what you’re doing. The money corner of your house is the south east, so you may want to put a bamboo plant on a table or shelf in that area. 

If you have a home office then it would be beneficial to place a bamboo plant in there too.

Planet in the bedroom is not a good idea for Feng Shui, not all websites agree on this so use your own judgement. I personally don’t have plants in my bedroom. This website below also says don’t put plants in the bedroom.

Jade plants, just a reminder to people in cold areas that get frost, Jade is not a frost tolerant plant. It will die immediately in frost. Keep it indoors or under cover. I have jade on my front porch that has been there for years through heat and freezing cold weather. It has a roof and a wall protecting it from frost. On my back veranda the jade is sheltered from frost and is quite hardy.

Go nuts with plants that are good for Feng Shui 😻🎋🎍by the way Pothos is the devils ivy plant. That’s a great plant that can grow rapidly if you aren’t careful. 30 years ago I lugged a big devils ivy plant in a fancy pot home on a busy train for my mum’s birthday, she had it until she died. 

Feng Shui

 It’s been a long time since I had a look at Feng Shui, long before I started reading the tarot cards in fact I  had an interest in Feng Shui. Suddenly it has come back into my life again. Everything happens for a reason they say, and I have been finding things that I had put away years ago and now bringing them back out again. Plus adding new Feng Shui pieces to add to my house. As a gardener I love plants so I have a lot of Jade plants in pots around the veranda, both out the back and at my front door. I love propagating plants but especially harmonious plants such as jade. I have bought sacred bamboo plants and will propagate them in time. Feng Shui friendly plants make great house gifts too. So I can eventually give friends and relatives something nice for their homes. 

I have come across some really good websites for learning about Feng Shui, even though I have a little book on the basics. I wanted to pick up a few more helpful tips and love to share information with likeminded people on my blog. I figured if it brings me pleasure and happiness then I aught to share the information. 

Things such as lucky Feng Shui coins, and the numbers of coins with their meanings, lucky money frogs or three legged money toads as they are known; are beneficial to improving the lives of people who have a belief in Feng Shui and how it benefits us. The elements which govern the placement of objects, furniture etc is understood to be vital for success in life and career development. One thing that I noticed on various websites though is the websites don’t always agree on the money toad/frog placement at the front door, some say face it outwards facing the outside and others say face the frog inwards. I think inwards is the way to go, also as one website says point the toad towards the wealth corner of your home. Also please bear in mind if you live in the southern hemisphere you have to take that into consideration as there are minor adjustments to be made. 

For difficulties a mirror is the usual remedy, such as at the front door if you have a tree in line with the door you place a convex mirror above the door to deflect negative chi. In a home office where you face a wall and or can’t move your desk to a better position then a mirror is used to correct the chi.

Using Feng Shui coins and how many coins to use for different purposes. Again I notice the number of coins can vary depending on which website you visit. Nine coins is reputed to be the best and highest number for prosperity and abundance, yet some say ten is. So you should read several websites or books on the subject and also what resonates with you personally. All numbers carry different vibrations so you need to focus on what you want to achieve. Set your intentions and go with it and wait for the results, if you need to adjust then so be it, you know what is best for you. It does take a few weeks to feel the results according to what the experts say, so it is not an instant fix. Energy is something that takes time to work just like spiritual healing. Feng Shui is a form of healing in some respects as it corrects the flow of energy.
