Of course, we’re only talking about healthy ones. Sick, dying plants bring negative or Sha Ch’i.
The type of plant should match the location and desired effect. Take rose bushes. Representing love, they are great in the K’un or Relationship gua of your yard, but only if they are well cared for and pruned. Letting them get overgrown may cause difficulties in your love life.
Where rose bushes are not good is by your entrance. The Mouth of Ch’i should be open and welcoming, and a tangle of thorny branches is certainly not welcoming.
In the Tai Chi or center of your space try planting a pear tree to increase health. A banana palm will bring positive energy to your Knowledge Gua.
In this troubled world, perhaps we can all plant olive trees in the yard or in our hearts and pray for the Olive Branch of Peace.
