Green trees play an important role in life because they help generate oxygen, enhance health, and provide shade to cool the space. Green trees also create a feng shui for the house. However, not all trees have good feng shui. Some types of trees, even though they are good, can become feng shui offenders if they are not planted and cared for properly. Especially according to the experience from our ancestors, the following trees must be cut down immediately as they bring bad feng shui to the family.
Single tall tree blocking the front door, creating a desolate scene
A single tall tree in front of the house is any tree standing alone, covering and enveloping the house. Green trees in the right size can be very good for the house, but when they grow into large, wide canopies that darken the house and block the light, it becomes unfavorable. The front door needs to attract wealth and allow the flow of chi, but if a tall tree blocks the way, it hinders the good flow of chi and blocks the path of the wealth deity. Therefore, it is absolutely not advisable to let a big tree completely block the doorway, enveloping the house. The bigger the tree, the more dangerous it is. From a feng shui perspective, a tree standing alone like that creates a desolate scene, causing the head of the family to become widowed, the children to become orphaned, and the family’s wealth to scatter, with sickness and worries.
From a biological perspective, a large tree covers the light and creates stagnant air inside the house, making the house cool but dark. Moreover, a too-big tree poses a risk of falling during storms, causing danger, and its roots can penetrate the walls and damage them.
Especially in feng shui, a tall single tree standing on the right side of the house is even worse as it offends the Dragon and White Tiger. Therefore, when faced with this situation, the tree should be cut or trimmed to reduce its canopy and lower its height.
Lone Ficus tree, one dead tree in a pair
The Ficus tree, also known as the Banyan tree, is a type of evergreen tree that is good for feng shui all year round and is easy to plant and shape into large sizes, so it is planted by many people in front of their houses. However, the Ficus tree is a strong yang energy tree, so when planting, it is usually in pairs, one tree on each side, and it is not advisable to let the tree grow too big and block the way or block the light into the house.
However, if you happen to have one tree die, you need to either supplement it with a second tree or remove the remaining tree. Because if the Ficus tree stands alone, it will absorb yang energy and make the head of the household weak. The feng shui of the Ficus tree must be in pairs or groups of three to balance the yang energy. Therefore, it is absolutely not advisable to let the Ficus tree stand alone.
Thorny plants
Many plants with thorns pointing towards the house are not good for feng shui, such as the Moringa tree, the Kapok tree, etc. In feng shui, thorns pointing straight towards the house create sha qi, making the head of the household confused, causing financial loss, sickness, and business failure, gradually leading to impoverishment even if one is rich. Therefore, if there are plants with sharp thorns pointing straight towards the house, the bigger the tree, the more dangerous it is.
Therefore, if there is such a plant in front of the house, it should be removed to avoid feng shui offenses.
Plants in the Five Ghosts group, plants that call for spirits
In the ancient feng shui belief, the group of Five Ghosts and plants that call for spirits includes willow, bamboo, fig, banyan, mulberry, etc. These are the plants that attract ghosts and create negative energy. Therefore, if these plants are in front of the house, it brings great misfortune, brings bad luck, causes family conflicts and illnesses, and disturbs the spirits, making the spirits restless and spiritless, making business difficult and hard. Therefore, if there are these plants in front of the house, they should definitely be removed. Especially nowadays, many people cultivate bonsai mulberry trees in front of their houses. However, the mulberry tree should be planted behind the house to chase away spirits, and planting it in front of the house will again invite spirits and indicate bad luck, causing business failure.
