Life Force
A healthy home requires a significant supply of "life energy." Bamboo is probably the best know house plant used in Feng Shui decor, but any healthy living plant will emit chi into the room Green house plants are one of the easiest ways to incorporate a living force into your space. Fresh cut flowers are also a good choice as long as you discard them promptly when they begin showing signs of wilting. Dry flowers are considered a no-no in Feng Shui design because the life force that was once thriving in them has gone. Get rid of anything that represents death and dying from your environment. Always replace a dying plant with a larger healthier one. This will replenish dwindling chi energies.
