Hello...
I understand from the Forum here that using plants in the bedroom is no good because plants are yang and the bedroom should be restful. My question: there is a corner in he bedroom that protrudes. I want to cover the sharp edge with fake ivy to eliminate any sha. In feng shui, would artificial plants be considered too yang for a bedroom?
Thanks.

Dear Joe,
Let me clarify.
Plants are considered not auspicious in the bedroom because they are "
growing " and thus considered to give off Yang qi.
However, in real life, Plants are YIN and too much plants or large
plants/trees are YIN.
Here, it is because the plants are growing that is why it is not auspicious
in a bedroom not because it is of the Yang element.
There are two schools of thought regarding fake plants:-
1. They are as effective as real plants.
2. Because they are not growing, they do not give off Yang energy.
In your case fake plants are acceptable. But do not use fake `poision ivy'
plants but fake plants e.g. money plant etc...
Not sure if your ivy plant is a `poision ivy' plant? Preferably use plants
with rounded leaves.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Cecil,
As long as we are discussing plants, can you tell me about the uses of bamboo plants in feng shui? No book that I have read so far mentions bamboo (aside from bamboo flutes etc.). A co-worker gave me a large bamboo plant. Are the sharp pointed leaves inauspicious in any way? Thank you.

Very good feng shui question, thanks for asking. Let's see it from a practical standpoint - what plants do at night? Release carbon dioxide into the air.
What do you do at night? Hopefully sleep in his bedroom. Thus, plants in the bedroom is not the best feng shui idea.
Feng shui-wise, they also represent the growing and vibrant, and it is exactly the energy you want in the bedroom.
This does not mean that a small plant, especially a large bedroom is bad feng shui! Not at all.
Please note that this only applies to one's room, as elsewhere in the house plants are great feng shui, especially considering the level of indoor pollution in most homes and offices.
