I keep a vase of fresh red roses in the south west corner of my bedroom which is also the south west corner of my flat. I have read that keeping plants and water in the bedroom is not a good idea, does that include vases of flowers?
Thank you for your help.

Dear Michaella,
There are two points of view here:-
1. Yin and Yang concept
On a superficial level, or based on Yin and Yang concept:
Flowers create more Yang than Yin. And in a bedroom, usually, `more' Yin is preferred than Yang in a bedroom. Where Yin environment is considered more conducive for `rest'.
However, like the placement of mirrors; some of us feel uncomfortable with mirror(s) facing the bed while for others; it is fine.
2. Balance of the Five elements concept
This involves a deeper understanding of the Five elements concept. Here, for example, Flying Star analysis is used to check for any imbalances in a sector (if any). For example, if there is bad earth element #5 or #2; one can use metal element to destroy it. Such as in the bedroom. As you mentioned that flowers are `red' they represent the fire element and usually, the sector should not clash with the `red' flowers.
These are usually the two methods of how FS is applied in the above situation.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
