We all know the benefits of growing some greenery in our homes. The healing powers of plants are seemingly endless; they clean the air, they lift moods and relieve stress, they inspire you and help you focus, they give you a sense of accomplishment and purpose, and they bring you great joy. However, there is a lot more they can bring, according to the experts of feng shui.
 
In accordance with the ancient Chinese practice of creating harmony between you and your environment to promote your well-being, keeping indoor plants is a gateway to good luck, a better career, and even wealth. This is especially important if you spend a lot of time at home or work in a home office. A cleaner, brighter workplace is highly beneficial for the mind, body and soul, so keeping a small desk plant or placing a bigger potted plant beside your desk if you’ve got the floor space will do a lot more than simply jazzing up your environment.
 

Types of Plants to Buy for Your Workplace

The rubber plant or the rubber tree does wonders for removing indoor toxins and will grow happily in your office space under high light levels. Bright, indirect light is best. The plant emits a calm, relaxing energy and will draw positivity to your home, particularly in the southeast and east areas.
 
If you are looking for some security in your home, the snake plant can serve as your protector. It is believed that it can ward off negative energy by being positioned by your front door or large window. In doing so, it brings a vibrant, positive energy to your home office, enabling you to focus.
 
Air-purifying plants like air plants and ZZ plants are fantastic for feng shui. They soak up copious amounts of toxins in the air and purify your home. Best of all they are low maintenance plants to keep on your office desk, requiring minimal watering and low to medium light.
 
Flowering plants, like the peace lily, are also an invaluable addition to your home office. They are believed to convert negative energy into positive energy. Low light or filtered light works well for this beloved plant.
