Plants in a bedroom

[jungkang]

What kinds of plants (or no plants at all?) are good to be placed in a bedroom? leafy, flowery, or plastic??? Thanks

Dear Anon,
To let you have a better understanding:-
1. Yin and Yang Concept
As the bedroom is usually a location (meant more for rest). Here, the room should be MORE Yin than Yang.
It depends on other factors also:-
1.1 The direction the bedroom is facing. For example if the bed is at locations that is constantly dark, it can do we slightly more Yang.
1.2 For children, their bedroom can be more Yang i.e. musical instruments, toys etc...
1.3 For those who use the room e.g. partially for study and sleep e.g. in a dormitory, it can be made `more yang' in the day time... e.g. allow light to flow into the room and at night say, close the window curtains.
2. Poison Arrows
Here, FS practitioners look out especially for poison arrows that can separate a couple.
For example, it is bad to have a triangle ventilation port above the bedroom door as it signifies a `split'.
3. Water such as water in the fish tank is considered Yin element and normally, too much water in a room may result being more Yin which is equally no good.
FS is about harmony with the environment and it is also about balance. Too much of one thing is no good. There must be a balance.
4. There are other considerations which I did not take into account above, but generally, the above are the MORE important issues for say a bedroom.
5. Other `issues' such as plants or flowers is considered secondary in light of what I mentioned above.
However, plants are considered because they are growing, more Yang or add more Yang to a room.
6. In my opinion, for placement of plants or flowers, leavy or thin leaves; it is best for the individual to decide and more importantly feel comfortable with.
This should not be because, someone or a practitioner recommends that since this sector is the romance sector, one is required to place it there. This changes the `equation totally' of being `forced' to place it there to achieve an unknown result.
7. More importantly, we should never, become slaves of Feng Shui and observe too many `taboos'. It is best to rank what is really important in FS and forget some other beliefs.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
