Dear Anon,

Frankly, in my opinion, this has more to do with `safety' than Feng Shui.

Usually, one would not expect a broad staircase unless it is a building or a large house where three persons or more can walk side-by-side going up or down the stairs.

Imagine if the staircase is sufficient for one or one and a-half person's body width to walk thru.

If the plant has extended leaves, I really cannot imagine that one will not brush against the leaves.

Looking at it from a light hearted moment, imagine placing catus plants and having a pet e.g. dog or cat or the wind blowing and toppling the catus plant.

What happens if a loved one accidently steps on the catcus? And get hurt?

The Traditional Feng Shui concept is to instead place a mirror at the staircase landing. The purpose, is that Qi can `move' upwards. Well this is the only `valid' concept advised by some Traditional FS Masters. But don't because, of what I said and you go and get a mirror. I believe this is not `correct'.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
