Should You Plant Hoa Hoe Trees in Front of Your House?
Some feng shui beliefs suggest that planting hoa hoe trees in front of your house will bring luck and attract wealth to the homeowner. However, planting them behind the house will not bring good fortune. Note that when planting, you need to consider a suitable space in front of the house for the tree to grow and regularly prune the branches.
According to the book “Tong su”, there was a person named Vuong Huu who planted 3 hoa hoe trees in front of his courtyard and prayed for his son to achieve the position of the Three Officials, and his wish came true. His second son, Vuong Dan, became the Three Officials. That’s why people consider the hoa hoe tree as a symbol of success and power.
Furthermore, it is also common to plant 3 large hoa hoe trees outside the gates of the court, representing the three highest-ranking officials: Sima, Scribe, and Zero. Therefore, the hoa hoe tree is associated with luck. If the hoa hoe tree is planted behind the house, it will suppress luck, prosperity, and the homeowner will not be able to rise. On the contrary, if the hoa hoe tree is planted in front of the house, it will bring luck and fortune to the homeowner, creating wealth and prestige.
Hoa hoe trees are often planted in front of houses for decoration. Another purpose is to create a light fragrance as a welcoming gesture from the homeowner to guests.
