The Power of Feng Shui Plants
Plants have a significant impact on our surroundings. Outdoor plants act as a protective barrier against negative energies, noise, and pollution. On the other hand, indoor plants improve the quality of qi, the life force that surrounds us, and enhances the energy levels of the residents. Feng shui is the practice of arranging pieces in living spaces to create balance with the natural world.
Bringing nature's energy into our homes and interior environments is a way to reconnect with the earth and ground ourselves. Plants have a healing effect on humans, improve air quality, provide soft surfaces, and enhance the overall beauty of our living spaces.
