Bougainvillea is a popular ornamental plant that is loved by many for its vibrant, year-round blooms and ease of cultivation. Being a vine, it is also easily manipulated and shaped to one’s liking.
When growing bougainvillea indoors, it is essential to consider both its living requirements (such as soil and light) and its role in feng shui. In feng shui belief, bougainvillea is thought to ward off negative influences, protect the household, and attract wealth. Homeowners can choose the best location for their bougainvillea to thrive and bring forth these auspicious meanings.
The Best Location for Indoor Bougainvillea
The ideal spot to showcase your bougainvillea is right at your front entrance. This location not only beautifies your home’s facade but also enhances the entire living space, making it more eye-catching and appealing.
From a feng shui perspective, placing bougainvillea at the entrance invites positive energy into the home while dispelling negative influences. This promotes stronger familial bonds and a more harmonious home life.
Additionally, the area by the front door usually receives ample sunlight, which is beneficial for the bougainvillea’s growth. Sufficient sunlight encourages frequent blooming and intensifies the vibrant hues of the flowers.
Alternative Locations for Your Bougainvillea
If your front entrance doesn’t offer sufficient space, consider planting your bougainvillea in the garden. This location still attracts good fortune and wealth, according to feng shui. Bougainvillea can be shaped into various forms, adding a unique touch to your outdoor space. Moreover, it is an excellent air purifier. When planted in the garden, it can be positioned in areas that may not be auspiciously aligned with the homeowner’s age, absorbing negative energy and maintaining peace within the household.
Other suitable spots for bougainvillea include windowsills and balconies. In feng shui, these areas are considered gateways for energy to enter the home. For homes with less-than-ideal window or balcony orientations, bougainvillea can help absorb and block negative energy while attracting wealth. These areas also tend to receive ample sunlight, promoting the healthy growth of your bougainvillea. For apartment dwellers, balconies are an excellent choice for growing bougainvillea.
Ultimately, the choice of location depends on your specific circumstances. Whether you choose to showcase your bougainvillea at the entrance or in your garden, windowsill, or balcony, ensure that it has sufficient space to grow and access to abundant sunlight. Inadequate light will hinder its growth and blooming potential.
