Here are eight feng shui plants that are all about bringing good energy into your space, from affordable indoor plants to houseplants that thrive in office spaces (even if they're sometimes neglected):

Philodendron Green

With quick-growing vines and low-maintenance care, the classic philodendron plant makes a well-suited feng shui plant for channeling love. Its soft, heart-shaped leaves can help activate the marriage and relationships area of your space, according to Cho. For added effect, you may want to own two! "A pair of complementary plants can emphasize an equal, balanced partnership you'd like to invite in," she says.

Pothos

Pothos plants are excellent air purifiers, perfect for the neglected corners of your household like atop a kitchen cupboard or in the bathroom. They tend to have long, leafy vines that make them optimal indoor hanging plants. For forgetful green thumbs, these plants are incredibly low maintenance, even earning the nickname of Devil's Ivy for being near impossible to kill. According to Cho, these are great for beginners. They're one of the easiest feng shui plants to care for, and their soft, rounded leaves promote softness and harmony throughout your space.

Say Hello to Your Home

In feng shui, we talk a lot about qi, which is life force energy. It’s very similar to prana, but it’s more than just your breath. For instance, when someone is no longer alive, they no longer have qi. They don’t have that sparkle in their eye anymore.

Your home also has qi, and the qi in your space can influence your past, present, and future circumstances. It has the imprint of qi from previous inhabitants, including people who lived in the home as well as visitors who spent time there. It also has your energy, of course, because you live there, and the energy of people who have lived on the land. Your home also holds the energy of people and things around it.

This goes for anything you bring into your space as well, including second hand objects or old furniture. In the feng shui that I practice, which is called BTB feng shui, we look at energy being imprinted on our space, and the energy of our home means the home is alive. It’s a shamanic practice.

We want to acknowledge that our spaces have energy. If you’ve been feeling unacquainted with your home, if your home doesn’t really feel like home, or if you feel chaotic, it might be a good time to check in with your space. Say hello to it. You can offer your home a gift, or you can simply speak to it and thank it for all that it’s done to support you, especially over the past couple of years.

Another thing you can do to reset the energy in your home is to do a space clearing. One of my favorite ways to clear space recently is with palo santo and a candle. A candle is a great way to bring some fire energy into a space, and you can also use it to light a botanical that you use for space clearing. Instead of palo santo, you could also use sage, a bay leaf, another type of plant, or even incense.

I encourage you to take some time to say hello to your home, and to feel gratitude for how much your home supports you. Then, you can bless your space and clear it by burning a botanical.
