在居家时尚的元素里，植物或盆栽摆设风气已算是普及化。大自然爱好者及一般小康之家都喜爱摆放些盆栽或植物，深信能够增添家里生气之说。不过从风水学的角度而言，拜访盆栽的数量不能太多，也必须配合户主的五行需要，才能达到趋吉避凶的效果。让我们来看看有哪些条件是必须去注意的！

Requirements(注意事项):

1. Bonzai should look healthy and pleasant. It should never look droopy or lifeless because in feng shui studies, wood element represents “yang”, which is the most lively element in the five elements. Dry wilted plants will only absorb “yin”and is extremely dire in feng shui studies.

盆景植物一定要是健康及美观，切勿出现枯萎状况。风水学里，木行属阳，在五行中最具有生命的元素。不能使用干燥花，因为它能吸收阴气，在风水角度来看是不好的。

2. In the living area and bedroom, bonzai should be placed according to feng shui positions. Bonzai should face east as east represents the wood element. This will bring health to all family members. Also, the size of bonzai used should match the room to bonzai size ratio.Sharp leaved bonzais should be avoided.

在住宅或房间都要注意方位的风水布局，而正东方位是代表着健康的方位，只要摆好正确的位置，能够常保家人的健康。由于正东方位属木，所以催化这个方位最好的方法就是摆放健康绿色的植物，而植物的大小需依据房间正比例，切勿摆放尖叶植物。

3. Types of bonzai placed at home must be evergreen. For example, Bougainvillea and Rohdea. Bonzais that are hard to manage and wilt easily should be avoided.

摆放在屋内的盆栽种类，需以常绿植物为宜，如万年青、九重葛等。切勿摆放易枯萎及难照顾的的植物，否则物极必反。

4. Big leaved bonzais like Rohdea, Hou Ye, Zhao Chai Cao, Cycas Revoluta, Fu Gui Ye are known to bring good fortune. Cactus and dragon bone on the other hand drive away bad luck.

普罗大众都知道，一些植物如万年青、厚叶、招财草、铁树、富贵叶等大叶片的绿色植物多属“招财”及“生旺”。仙人掌、龙骨等植物能达到化煞的作用。

5. Creepers and weeds are taboos and must be cleared immediately as it will bring misfortune to family members.

宅中切勿有攀藤类植物，最忌讳悬挂在天花顶上，这会使疾病久久无法痊愈。
