Does the Bougainvillea Plant in Front of the House Bring Good Family Feng Shui?

The Bougainvillea, also known as the Paper Flower or Crepe Flower, is a woody vine that can grow quite tall. It has a rapid growth rate, producing many branches with thorns. The leaves are a deep shade of green and are arranged alternately.

Bougainvillea blooms all year round, and with more sunlight, the brighter and more vibrant the colors become. The flowers grow in clusters at the end of the branches; while they appear to have many colors, these are actually bracts (modified leaves) that form the vibrant hues, with small, tubular flowers (usually white or pale yellow) inside, often in groups of three, sheltered by the bracts.

In folk feng shui, the bougainvillea is believed to bring fullness and happiness. The vibrant colors of the flowers are said to attract good luck, wealth, and prosperity to the household. The plant is also thought to ward off evil spirits and prevent bad omens.

Because of its auspicious symbolism, the bougainvillea is often chosen to be planted in front of houses.

According to feng shui, the bougainvillea is especially beneficial for individuals born in the Chinese zodiac years of the Snake, Tiger, and those with an Earth element in their birth chart. Planting a bougainvillea in front of the house is said to attract good fortune, wealth, and prosperity, bringing about a life of harmony and abundance.

Additionally, from a scientific perspective, planting bougainvillea in front of your home not only beautifies the landscape but also helps purify the air by filtering out dust and harmful substances, creating a cleaner and cooler environment.

Moreover, the bougainvillea has medicinal benefits. Its leaves possess antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
