Best Feng Shui Plants for Bedroom (And Where to Place Cacti Instead)
Let’s Keep It Real
Plants are wonderful, but placement matters in feng shui.
Plants to Reconsider for Bedrooms 🌵
- Cacti
- Cactus balls
- Thorny roses
The Principle
Plants with thorns carry “sharp energy” (protective but pointed).
- On your desk = protective energy, boundary-setting ✅
- By your bedroom bed = may affect soft, romantic energy ❌
💡 Golden Tip
For bedrooms and living rooms, round-leaf, large-leaf plants (like Monstera or Money Tree) promote harmony. Thorny plants work well on balconies or in offices.
Recommended Plant List
Indoor (Bedroom, Living Room)
- 🌿 Monstera
- 🌿 Money Tree
- 🌿 Pothos
- 🌿 Fiddle Leaf Fig
Balcony/Office (Protective Energy)
- 🌵 Cactus
- 🌵 Cactus ball
- 🌹 Thorny roses
