Dear cecil,
I read somewhere that keeping potted plants outside the living room window and bedroom window causes sickness. Is there any truth in this. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
Personally, I do keep two plants outside the living room window. Without much care, they are always flowering. This is considered a good sign especially when the plants grow well.
In a way, one can consider plants as a good indicator of a looking at a location's "health".
It is not advisable for a plant to be placed inside a bedroom because it is growing and in this situation, creates yang Qi.
It is acceptable to have plants grow in planters outside the bedroom window. This is ok because the plants are not actually located inside the bedroom itself.
In Singapore, placing potted plants on window verge is not allowed if it can fall and hurt someone downstairs especially due to high winds.
The two `secret' weapons of Feng Shui is:
1. Lighting. Lighting can be used to enhance Qi.
2. Plants or Trees are equally important and especially are favourites amongst Traditional FS practioners in Taiwan.
Here, even plants placed in living rooms are acceptable and not the bedrooms.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
