For years, all of my feng shui clients have been hearing my little speech about the importance of plants. Best placed in the Family Area, the Wood Energy of plants symbolizes growth, health and vitality. Plants also produce oxygen, eat CO2's and act as an air filter in your home. What's not to love?
From a feng shui perspective, it's important to select plants with rounded rather than pointy leaves. Pointy leaves can lead to arguments, accusations and bickering. Who needs that?
But don't just take my word for it! NASA did a study to find which plants provide the best filtering of VOC's, or volatile organic compounds, in our homes. Here's a list of the best plants for absorbing benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene and other toxins in your home. Yep, they're all around, courtesy of your non-eco carpets, fabrics, flooring paint etc.
These plants below will help...
Peace lily (Spathiphyllum 'Mauna Loa')
Golden pothos (Scindapsus aures or Epipremnum aureum)
English Ivy (Hedera helix)
Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina)
Gerbera Daisy or Barberton daisy (Gerbera jamesonii)
Pot Mum or Florist's Chrysanthemum (Chrysantheium morifolium)
Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica)
