1. Thanks for bring up this interesting question.

2. Other than the 33.3% ruleset; Symbolism is used in Feng Shui:

2.1 For example, when we apply a metal cure, we do not necessarily need to use large quantities of "metal".

Here, `Big metal' or large amounts of metal is represented by the number 6.

Hence, 6 i-ching coins are often used to represent `large quantities of metal'.

2.2 Under Para 2.1, we will notice that we NEED not follow the 33.3% ruleset and thus as an alternative, apply " symbolism " in Feng Shui.

3. For a wood cure, this can be quite difficult to apply especially since " Big Wood" is represent by the number 3.

So shall we place 3 potted plants at the location to represent `Big Wood'.

Remember that in order to `cure' successfully, it is best to use " Big .... followed by the element ".

If you have three small potted plants, this can be applied or placed there. But, do remember that one may have a maintenace issue and it may look quite odd.

4. For a plant cure, in my opinion, it can either be a `live' plant or artificial one. The plant should be of reasonable size if one places a single plant.

Yes, you should avoid placing plants in an area where Metal cure should be used. (Where possible).

No you need not apply the cure especially if the base star has a " Big .... element " i.e. Big Wood; Big Metal...
