Unfortunately, due to the hectic modern lifestyle today, many people find it difficult or simply impossible to nurture a live plant at home when taking care of themselves is a problem. A dying or dried plant is not desirable in Feng Shui as it is not going to bring any auspiciousness into the household it will only bring the Yin energy and release a sense of death in the air.

Well, Plant has been used in Feng Shui for centuries to add colour and life into living space. Based on the Feng Shui perspective, the use of plants is meant to balance the elements and keep them in harmony with the environment. The presence of live plants or flowers would bring the Yang energy and wood element, which is believed to spur good luck and health while the fake would do nothing in that effect.

Fake plants are also associated to stagnant energy as it does not promote good Qi. The impact of this energy will affect your advancement in career path and it is also important to know that it attracts people with ulterior motives and deceive intention into your life.
