Taboos in Feng Shui when placing iron trees
The iron tree, with its rapid growth and long lifespan, occupies a place in urban greening and garden design. In Feng Shui, the iron tree symbolizes strength and protection. It is regarded as one of the three sacred beasts: green dragon, white tiger and red bird, and has far-reaching influence. However, despite the great significance of iron trees in Feng Shui, there are strict taboos regarding their placement and orientation. The first taboo is not to plant the iron tree in front of the house, as the dull smell of its leaves may be detrimental to the living environment. The space in the bedroom needs tranquility. The huge root system of the iron tree may destroy this harmony, so it should not be placed in the bedroom. In addition, iron trees should not be close to toilets and kitchens, as the water and fire elements may have a negative impact on the iron trees. In terms of color selection, overly dazzling colors can stimulate the spirit and are not good for health.
The correct placement method is to place the iron tree in a public space such as a study, living room or conference room to introduce positive energy. Iron trees are best placed in the north-south direction to absorb Yang energy. The southwest direction needs to be avoided to prevent adverse effects on marriage and career. When maintaining iron trees, pay attention to providing sufficient light and air circulation to avoid excessive watering that may cause water accumulation at the roots. At the same time, trim the leaves appropriately to maintain photosynthesis, and regularly prevent insects and diseases to ensure the healthy growth of the iron tree.
In general, although the iron tree occupies an important position in Feng Shui, its suitable environment and location must be carefully considered when placing it. Proper care is key to enjoying the benefits of iron trees.
