(1) Taboo on names
In ancient times, people’s information was not as developed as it is today, and their understanding of life and death was insufficient. Therefore, the previous generation said that certain plants should not be grown at home, and the next generation would They will not disobey the order, and everyone has the mentality that they would rather believe what they have than what they don't have. It may be a humiliation for these plants whose names are taboo, and they have been unable to approach people's houses for thousands of years. These plants include the following types:
Banyan tree:
As the saying goes, banyan trees cannot tolerate people. Does that mean banyan trees cannot be planted in the yard? Regarding this issue, Xiao Zhuge believes that there are two reasons why the banyan tree is intolerant of people:
1. The roots of the banyan tree are particularly developed. The thick roots are three times the height of the tree and will extend from the ground to neighboring houses and buildings. Inside, the house becomes unstable, and the roots are entangled and tightly hugged, which will cause the house to collapse and people will have no house to live in.
2. In the past, the hills around the cemetery were full of banyan trees. Firstly, because they have long aerial roots, which symbolizes the continuation of descendants; secondly, because the trees provide shade, it means that future generations will be protected by their ancestors. , there is a big tree to lean on, so the people say that the trees in the cemetery can only accommodate the growth of banyan trees, but cannot allow people to live.
In fact, the magnetic field of the banyan tree itself collects oxygen, which is what Feng Shui calls Yang Qi.
Mulberry trees:
Most homes do not plant mulberry trees, because mulberry is a homophone for mourning, and seeing mulberry trees when going out is unlucky.
Willow tree:
It is taboo among the people that willow and Liu are homophones. Planting willows behind the house means that money and treasures will flow out of the house. In addition, some people think that planting willows during the Qingming Festival will attract yin, which is a bad image. , plus the willow tree does not bear seeds, and the sound of "zi" and "seed" are similar, which is unlucky. In fact, according to Feng Shui, big trees and mountains should be used as backing behind the house. Willow trees are close to water and thin, so they are not a good material for backing.
Polar tree:
The wind blows on the poplar tree, and the leaves rustle, which makes people upset. Folks also call it croaking hands and ghost clapping hands. Therefore, in order to keep quiet, the people are I don’t like planting poplar trees. As for ghost clapping, poplar trees make bursts of noise when blown by the wind. Superstitious people believe that this will attract ghosts.
Peach tree:
People often ask questions like this: Is it really unlucky to plant a peach tree? The flowers of peach trees are blood red. Folks believe that the red color of peach trees is just a little bit of blood, which is very unlucky. In addition, some people believe that peach has the same pronunciation as fleeing. When foreign enemies invade, people easily associate peach trees with fleeing when their homes are in danger. Naturally, no one is willing to plant peach trees in their yards. According to Feng Shui theory, peach trees are the essence of the five elements and can control hundreds of ghosts, so peach charms are hung on doors during the New Year.
Cypress:
Cypress has the meaning of longevity and is originally auspicious. Unfortunately, cypress is often planted in cemeteries, also known as tomb trees. Planting cypress in Yangzhai has an ominous meaning, and in some places Considered taboo. But Europeans usually use cypress trees to decorate their gardens.
Plum tree:
This is also a taboo name. Because plum is a homophonic sound for Mei, people believe that planting a plum tree in the courtyard means that the owner is lustful and will suppress his wife and ruin the family.
Glade:
Because gladiolus means cutting and slaughtering for surgery, it is taboo in the patient's home.
The so-called taboos are actually mostly derived from homophones and meanings. From a Feng Shui perspective, the placement and type of plants are the real influence. As for violating taboos, they only have some psychological impact. .
(2) Poisonous plants
The toxicity of plants is a self-protection function, mainly to prevent invasion by external enemies. From many years of research, humans have found 52 species of plants containing Carcinogens, and these plants have always been discouraged by Feng Shui experts. Common ones are: fig-leafed wood (Ficus striata), fine-leafed wood (meteor-leafed wood), mountain snow (Silver-edge green, Ivory white), Tiehaitang (tiger-thorn plum, commonly known as thorn plum in the north, and Babao in the south), red-backed osmanthus (blue-purple wood, red osmanthus), Chinese tallow tree (red-leafed tallow tree), tung oil tree , Poppy Tung), Muyou Tung (Millennium Tung), Jiexiang (Yellow Ruihua, Knotted Flower, Golden Belt), Guangdong Wolfbane (Alocasia, Dripping Water Guanyin), Shegan (also known as Flat Bamboo, Mantis Flower, Tail Disc) flower), datura (commonly known as trumpet flower in the folk, and also known as Yangjinhua in Chinese medicine), red impatiens (impatiens, henna), false forsythia (gold dew flower), xusuizi (qianjinzi), lege King (Crystalgia), Desmodium grandiflorum (Coppermoney grass), Lithospermum angustifolia, Iris (blue butterfly). Feng Shui is people-oriented, and medical literature reports are also widely accepted by Feng Shui experts. If such plants are planted in the house, people may increase the risk of cancer due to long-term inhalation of pollen, dust particles, etc.
In addition to the above plants containing cancer-promoting substances, when placing plants indoors, you should also consider whether the odor released by the plants is beneficial to you. Xiao Zhuge described common harmful plants as follows for readers' reference:
Lilac: When it performs photosynthesis, it consumes a large amount of oxygen and affects human health.
Tuberose: When photosynthesis is stopped at night, a large amount of waste gas is emitted, which has an adverse effect on patients with high blood pressure and heart disease.

Daffodil: Do not break its stems and leaves, because its colorless and transparent mucus contains colchicine, which are toxic substances. Ingestion can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other gastric diseases. Intestinal reaction.
Dripping Guanyin: Its stems will secrete some sap. When we come into contact with it, it will cause itching on the skin. If it comes into contact with wounds, it will cause poisoning.

Calla lily: The flower is poisonous and contains a large amount of calcium oxalate crystals and alkaloids. If eaten accidentally, it can cause poisoning symptoms such as coma.
Visually, plants have the effect of beautifying the home. Scientifically, plants have the effect of protecting the environment. In Feng Shui, they have the power to make up for deficiencies. If you want to increase good luck and health, you may wish to Plant some Feng Shui plants at home. Readers can consider personal preferences and Feng Shui benefits when placing indoor plants. The above-mentioned plants are not suitable for planting at home. Which plants are suitable for planting inside the house?

1. Shengyun Bamboo: This is a cut plant. Cut off a small section of bamboo and then plant it. It has the meaning of rising steadily. Used in the workplace. The author Xiong Shenjin reminds readers that there are two requirements for planting lucky bamboo. First, you cannot choose eight layers, which is homophonic for up and down, which is not good for officials; second, the branches and leaves must be clear, and when new leaves grow, , it must be pruned and not messed up.

Carnations: Since 1907, pink carnations have been used abroad as a symbol of Mother's Day. Placing carnations will enhance the positive energy of maternal love and is beneficial to the relationship between husband and wife.
Putting flowers in your own love feng shui position and persisting in it can promote love luck. For those who already have a lover and are in love, placing flowers at home can keep the love going for a long time.
Flowers have the magic power to attract love, career, and health. However, fake flowers such as ribbon flowers and plastic flowers have little impact on the feng shui of the house because they are not alive.
(3) Beneficial plants
There are some plants that have a certain effect on purifying indoor air and reducing the concentration of formaldehyde pollutants, but these plants have been ignored to a certain extent.

Tie tree: It has two functions. One is to remove benzene, and the other is to dissolve evil spirits. It should be placed on the balcony.
Rose: It can remove more than 80% of harmful gases in the air. Some people also plant it in the bathroom to absorb odors.
Ivy: Can absorb 90% of benzene in a room of 8 to 10 square meters.
Elm tree: There is a saying in Feng Shui that if there is an elm behind the house, all ghosts will not come close. This is mainly because the elm tree has the ability to excrete fast oxygen and phytoncides, making it an ideal household plant.
Golden kudzu: A large amount of oxygen is released during photosynthesis, but some botanists say that golden kudzu will release toxic substances. Therefore, in Feng Shui, we will place it in the place with the highest carbon dioxide content in the home. This is the best practice.
If your relationship, marriage, children, health, career, and financial fortune are not good, and your home Feng Shui layout is unreasonable, then please remember the advice given by Xiao Zhuge: adjust your own numerology and adjust the environment where you live. Environmental layout and good luck need to be grasped by oneself. Conditioning is the last word, Feng Shui is all around us.
