Red Roses
In feng shui, red roses are often used to decorate the altar on the full moon, the first day of the month, or on festive occasions. Red roses are especially known for symbolizing happy love and also represent harmony. Roses usually have a light and pleasant fragrance, making them suitable for offering on altars.
In feng shui, the color red is often associated with good luck. If red roses are chosen as the offering for the altar during Tet, the homeowners will be blessed by Buddha with abundant wealth and prosperous business.
Lotus Flowers
When we mention lotus flowers, we immediately think of the image of Buddha. Because of its elegant appearance and pure fragrance, lotus flowers have become a symbol of Buddhism.
We can often see images of lotus flowers in temples, as Buddha’s sitting cushions. Lotus flowers symbolize gentleness and purity, embodying strength, willpower, faith, and resilience. By placing lotus flowers on the altar, homeowners will receive peace and good luck.
Orchid Flowers
Orchid flowers are familiar to all of us. Orchids are also known by another name, “sword orchid,” because they have an upright shape resembling a sword and their flowers look like orchids. This is a beautiful type of flower that stays fresh for a long time. Orchids represent warmth, loyalty, and are often offered on the full moon, the first day of the month, or on festive occasions.
Money Trees
Money trees come in various colors, but if used for offerings, it is best to choose those with red or yellow colors, or those with darker colors to show gratitude and sincerity to our ancestors.
Moreover, money trees are also known for symbolizing luck, wealth, and prosperity. They also represent the health and longevity of the homeowners. Money trees symbolize financial prosperity and will bring you a lot of luck and wealth in your home. The meaning of money trees is exactly as the name suggests, helping homeowners have many coins and enjoy spending them freely.
