Feng Shui is not just about aesthetics - it’s about energy flow, balance, and the harmonious connection between you and your environment. In collaboration with Master Clement Lim of Kang Li Feng Shui, we explore how plants and water features can transform your living spaces into magnets for prosperity, calm and harmony.

 

Water + Wood: The Prosperity Pairing

In Feng Shui, the Five Elements -  Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water -  form the foundation of energetic balance. Water and Wood have a particularly powerful relationship since Water nourishes Wood.

This symbolic pairing represents wealth (Water) fuelling growth (Wood), making the strategic placement of plants near water features an ideal way to strengthen financial luck and personal success.

Best Placement:

  • Southeast: Wealth & financial growth
  • East: Health & family harmony

Must-Have Plants & Where to Place Them

Here are some of the most popular Feng Shui plants - and their ideal placement:

Money Tree (Pachira)

  • Believed to attract financial abundance, business success and new opportunities.
  • Five-leaf clusters represent the Five Elements (Wood, Water, Fire, Earth & Metal), promoting holistic balance and stability.
  • Where to place: Balcony, study, home office, or living room - areas where money decisions are made or energy circulates.

Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)

  • Symbolises peace, calmness and conflict resolution.
  • Ideal for easing tension in households or shared workspaces.
  • Where to place: Place in the Northwest section of your home or living room to enhance harmony.

Phalaenopsis Orchid

  • Romance & love: Associated with romantic energy - to attract a refined and supportive partner.
  • Family Growth: Symbolises fertility and a harmonious household.
  • Where to place: Display in the East section of your living room to promote loving relationships and improve family well-being.

How Water Features Amplify Plant Energy

Pairing water features with plants is not just beautiful - it’s energetically strategic. According to Master Clement Lim, when you place Wood (plants) near Water, you’re activating the growth cycle of wealth and success. It’s a visual and energetic symbol of abundance multiplying.

Adding a tabletop fountain with a Money Tree or displaying a Peace Lily next to a gently bubbling water feature in the East or Southeast can significantly enhance the Wealth Chi in your home. 

 

Incorporating plants and water features into your space isn’t just all about aesthetic design - it’s about intention. With just a few thoughtful placements, you can invite peace, love, and prosperity into your home.
