From a tiny cactus to the mighty shrubbery, planting is more than just decorating; it contributes to creating a balanced living environment. However, does this balance and harmonise the Qi surrounding your property? Amidst too many unspeakably myths, there really isn't any kind of Feng Shui plant. Whatever type of flower you have in your garden doesn't really affect your property's Feng Shui. Plants are usually quite harmless as they have nothing to do with Classical Feng Shui. They aren't even mentioned in respect of Feng Shui in the ancient texts. So, don't worry unnecessarily if planting a Mother-in-Laws tongue would create mother-in-law issues for you. Nor will A-Thousand-Money plants cash in more wealth for you. They're all in the name and that's all there is to it, really.
Now, let's get to the misconception about the cactus and Feng Shui. Just because sharp, pointy objects are known to direct Sha Qi towards us, it doesn't mean those tiny pointy needles of a puny cactus will do the same. The key is to always think of the big picture. Yes, sharp corners are Sha Qi but small pointy plants are not and they will certainly not send off Killing Qi in your direction simply because you have it on your desk at home. Remember, it's all about proportion in Feng Shui. A tiny little cactus cannot possibly generate substantial negative Qi to harm you. Unless it's 10 feet high, and of it is obstructing your Main door, there is no Feng Shui harm your cactus could cause you.
What's significant to remember is to always have balanced Qi around your home. For instance, it is good to let in optimal sunlight into the house. As it is the source of Qi, it is very important to keep the pathway towards your Main door clear, bright and unobstructed.
Water is also one of the most important features in external environment analysis. Water is a Yang element that demands much attention. Healthy, clean and flowing water indicates vibrant Qi bouncing about throughout the property, especially the Wealth Qi. Contradictorily, dirty, stagnant water causes bad health, poor performance and bad wealth luck for the occupants of the property. Let the water flow, so your Qi circulates and renews itself and that the environment is vibrant and is constantly being rejuvenated.
