Characteristics to know about Sansevieria

Is it good to plant Sansevieria in front of the house?

When considering whether it's good to plant Sansevieria in front of the house, we need to look at two aspects: scientific and Feng Shui. Additionally, it's important to consider which zodiac signs and ages are suitable for Sansevieria. Below, My Garden will analyze in detail.

According to science, should Sansevieria be planted in front of the house?

Scientifically, we know that Sansevieria is a beautiful ornamental plant with excellent air purification properties.

Specifically, Sansevieria can absorb up to 107 types of toxins from the air. Because of this, it's planted indoors and in front of houses to reduce heat radiation and create a healthier living environment. Moreover, having a Sansevieria pot indoors or at the entrance enhances elegance and sophistication.

Additionally, Sansevieria is considered a medicinal plant. In ancient times, it was used to treat digestive issues such as indigestion, bloating, and acid reflux. Therefore, planting Sansevieria in front of the house offers certain conveniences.

Why should Sansevieria not be planted in front of the house according to Feng Shui?

If we consider Feng Shui principles regarding plant placement, many advise against planting Sansevieria in front of the house. Some reasons include:

• Sansevieria is tall and is seen as a symbol of absorbing good luck and wealth. Placing Sansevieria at the entrance may cause good luck to gather outside the door, rather than entering the house and influencing the homeowner's fortune.
• Placing several Sansevieria pots at the entrance may lead to "fortune passing by without entering the house."

Sansevieria is likened to a protective sword, which both wards off negative energies and blocks the path of wealth, resulting in more loss than gain for the homeowner.

Is it good to plant Sansevieria indoors?

Along with the question of whether planting Sansevieria in front of the house is good, many also wonder if it's advisable to place Sansevieria indoors. According to How to Grow Flower's research, you should consider placing Sansevieria indoors (if it matches your zodiac sign and age).

At this point, Sansevieria no longer "blocks wealth" as it might at the entrance but becomes a symbol of attracting good fortune, bringing luck to the homeowner. However, when indoors, it's best placed on work desks or in living rooms. Particularly, avoid placing it in the following three positions:

Placing Sansevieria in the bedroom

Sansevieria is a plant with strong energy, so it's only suitable for placement in living rooms or work desks. It's strictly advised against placing it in bedrooms. Reason being: its strong energy may disrupt sleep, causing tension and pressure.

Additionally, placing Sansevieria in the bedroom may absorb air, affecting the homeowner's mood and stability. Avoid placing Sansevieria in the kitchen

Similar to the bedroom, the kitchen is not a suitable place for Sansevieria. The kitchen tends to be humid, with smoke, grease, and strong odors—not ideal for a plant that attracts wealth like Sansevieria. Placing Sansevieria in the kitchen may bring negative feelings to the homeowner.

Additionally, the kitchen often lacks sunlight, hindering Sansevieria's normal growth.

Avoid placing Sansevieria in the bathroom

Even though Sansevieria can absorb 107 types of toxins, it's still not suitable for placement in the bathroom. The bathroom is damp, poorly ventilated, and lacks sunlight, which could cause Sansevieria to wither.

Furthermore, according to Feng Shui, the bathroom is a place of energy consumption. Placing Sansevieria here may lead to energy depletion, affecting the homeowner's fortune.
