Dear Regina,
Thanks for taking the effort to post a picture:)
I just have to open the picture file and do a quick scan of your message. This has a higher chance of getting a reply!
Often, such a corner has a small "poison arrow" foot print.
Looks like, this is a minor issue IF:
1. Your sofa or sitting position is not directly at this "point" (currenly masked by the plant).
2. Even if so, such a corner does not have the type of sha qi force of a corner home aimed at e.g. one's home.
3. For such a corner, in my opinion, the sha qi is minor:
if the corner is entirely made of concrete, the impact zone is approximately 1 metre or less. If the corner is made of wood, I would place the sha qi as 2 feet or less.
4. So, it seems that your sofa or someone sitting close to it has already past this safety zone. I believe, the impact is up to the brick raised platform.
5. To determine whether a plant can be at this location or not, often, from a Shapes and Forms perspective, it is OK. (No harm to place one there).
If the consideration is under Flying Star Feng Shui, then if the sector has one or more #3 or #4, then, it may not be necessarily good to place a plant there.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Master Lee:
As you can see from the
attached photo, our fireplace
sends a serious poison arrow
to anyone sitting in its path.
I have temporarily disguised
it with a plant. (I obviously
have to go get a tall silk
plant to disguise the whole
thing.) Is a plant on a
fireplace a problem, as wood
fuels fire? We have a mirror
over the fireplace,
representing the water
element.
The stars in the room (the
center) are 1, 7, 4. Is there
a conflict there with the
plant?
If the plant is a completely
bad idea, are there other
things that can be used, such
as a statue, and, if so, what
element would be most
compatible? I hope the answer
is that a plant is okay!!!!!!
Thanks,

Further to what I had mentioned, attached is a simple illustration of the impact of a corner (sha qi/poison arrow) aimed at a certain direction....

Dear Regina,
With the star numbers mentioned, it is OK to place a plant to mask the poison arrow.
Honestly, from your picture, and given that your sofa is a distance away, I personally think that there is no threat from the fire-place. It is not like one is sitting next to it. From the picture, the distance is somewhat like 1 metre away (the sofa).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
