What is the Feng Shui significance of planting Plumeria trees?

Plumeria, a relatively new ornamental plant in Vietnam, has become an integral part of Vietnamese life. While the traditional choice was the Crescentia cujete or the “Vietnamese Plumeria,” the Thai variety is now favored for its aesthetic appeal. The Thai Plumeria boasts a uniquely shaped trunk, elegant branches, and an abundance of vibrant, colorful flowers, making it a modern favorite. Its low-maintenance nature, requiring minimal fertilizer, also suits those with busy lifestyles or a penchant for gardening.

Plumeria, renowned across various cultures in countries like Laos, Cambodia, India, and Mexico, holds symbolic significance. Often crafted into garlands or hair decorations, it represents strength, longevity, feminine beauty, love, and good fortune. Displaying this plant in front of a house is believed to attract peace, prosperity, and luck to the household. The abundance of flowers during the Tet holiday further enhances the festive atmosphere, welcoming the new year with a flourish of color and positivity.

Remember to plant Plumeria in the right spot

Plumeria thrives in sunny conditions and requires minimal nutrients. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a planting location that receives ample sunlight. Avoid over-fertilizing, especially with nitrogen, as this will promote leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Insufficient sunlight will also hinder blooming, and overwatering can be detrimental. These factors can bring bad luck to the homeowner, so it is essential to be mindful of the plant’s positioning.

When planting Plumeria, consider creating a bonsai arrangement with rocks and miniature landscapes to enhance its beauty. While you can bring the plant indoors when it’s in full bloom, remember to place it back outdoors to soak up the sun and natural light regularly.

Avoid planting Plumeria at the back or in the corners of your house.

Tips for caring for your Plumeria ahead of Tet

One critical aspect of Plumeria care is avoiding over-fertilization, which can lead to excessive leaf growth. If you notice this, consider root pruning to restrict nutrient intake and encourage flowering. About three months before Tet, it is essential to trim and replant to ensure blooming in time for the holiday. Don’t be afraid to prune the roots, as this is a natural part of the plant’s growth process. You can also trim excess leaves if necessary.

Resist the urge to water your Plumeria daily; instead, wait until the soil is dry before watering. With its array of colors, you can choose Plumeria flowers that align with the homeowner’s birth elements. Displaying Plumeria in front of your house also conveys a message of hospitality to guests and visitors.

If your home doesn’t receive sufficient natural light or is located in a shaded area, deep within an alley, or surrounded by tall structures, it is best to avoid planting Plumeria, as it may not flower optimally.
