The Meaning of Feng Shui of Kumquat Tree on Tet
The kumquat tree has a very good feng shui meaning, symbolizing prosperity, luck, auspiciousness, and bringing fortune to the homeowner. According to Vietnamese phonetics, the word “kumquat” is similar to the word “fortune” in Vietnamese. The kumquat tree with good green leaves, even yellow fruits, and auspiciousness represents wealth and promises a fruitful year, abundance, and good health.
How Does a Kumquat Tree Converge All Four Auspicious Factors?
Basically, a potted kumquat tree is considered beautiful when it converges all four auspicious factors: beautiful shape, beautiful fruits that are green and ripe, lush and open young leaves, and, lastly, a bit of flowers. It is only considered beautiful when it has all these four factors.
It is best to buy kumquat trees from kumquat gardens to have the freedom to choose and reasonable prices. Some kumquat trees are cheap, some are very expensive, so it is recommended to buy from a kumquat garden for the best price.
In addition, it is also important not to buy kumquat trees too early before Tet. It is best to buy kumquat trees closer to Tet to get the best quality.
Placement of the Tree
Tet potted plants have a yin and yang characteristic and should not be placed directly in the center of any space because the center of any space, whether the living room or any other room, is the area where energy is generated. If you place the tree in the middle of the room, the energy of the room will decrease.
Also, tall potted plants should not be placed on the right hand side. According to principe, if you place a tall plant in this position, it will activate evil influences, and employees will not listen. Especially, tall Tet potted plants should not be placed in front of the main entrance.
Placing tall plants in front of the main entrance is like installing a pole at the entrance. If you place the Tet potted plants on the White Tiger side (to the right), it activates evil influences. You should only place the Tet potted plants on the left hand side from inside looking out.
In terms of direction, it is recommended to place the tree by an east-facing window to allow the tree to receive morning sunlight, which is good for its growth. Plant some outdoor plants and place some potted plants in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom to both decorate and balance the chi energy for your home space.
It is advisable to place feng shui plants in empty positions in the house such as the end of the corridor or a corner of the living room, dining room, etc. to achieve both balance in composition and not obstruct the view or movement of people.
Tips for Choosing Beautiful Kumquat Trees for Tet
Choosing the Shape of the Kumquat Tree
For a kumquat tree, buyers only need to choose those with a natural shape, not squeezed from multiple angles as it will create a “fake” feeling for the tree. In addition, the kumquat tree needs to meet certain criteria such as balance and symmetry from its foliage to its trunk to create a harmonious feeling.
In particular, attention should also be paid to the root part of the kumquat tree. Buyers should not choose trees with small roots but rather those with straight and large roots to ensure a sturdy foundation and keep the tree in place.
Choosing the Leaves and Fruits of the Kumquat Tree
It is recommended to choose kumquat trees with large, dark green leaves that look lush, round and shiny fruits, with a moderate amount of fruits that are green and ripened. Moreover, beautiful kumquat trees should also have young leaves and flowers. Those are the signs of a beautiful kumquat tree.
Avoid choosing trees with small yellow leaves, small fruits that are both ugly and show signs of root rot. Buying these trees will not only result in an unattractive appearance but will also cause the leaves and fruits to fall off gradually due to withering.
Caring for Fresh Kumquat Trees During Tet
Kumquats brought home must be handled with care to avoid soil spillage. Choose a pot larger than the plant’s root ball. Make sure the pot has enough holes to add soil without affecting the existing soil in the root ball.
Before planting, place a layer of charcoal at the bottom of the pot as a drainage layer and then plant the tree. This method allows the lower part of the tree to drain well and prevents water accumulation, which can cause root rot and wilting.
When watering, use a small pump to spray water on the tree leaves and only water enough to keep the kumquat tree’s roots moist for long-lasting freshness.
