Although it is easy to grow, Sanseveria, to proliferate at its best, must be placed in a specific location, according to the rules of Feng Shui. The latter is a discipline that has its roots in Taoist geomantics applied to architecture. Its pillars are rules regarding the furnishing of houses according to which an object must be placed in one place and not another.
According to the rules of Feng Shui, therefore, even the mother-in-law’s tongue should be placed in an ad hoc place. Being considered a magical plant, it must be placed in an environment conducive to it . This environment, in the house, is not represented by the dining room or the living room. The motivation is simple: these two rooms are the ones where there is the most wood, a natural element.
It would not be good to put it in the bathroom since it is an environment for this type of plant, too humid and it could get sick quickly. Furthermore, being a very powerful and protective plant, it should not be placed in the studio or workplace. Because of its power, in fact, it could block creativity and its flow.
According to the Eastern discipline of Feng Shui, the perfect place for the mother-in-law’s tongue would be the entrance , the place where the environment you enter is improved. In fact, the plant could be able to attract money and cleanse the negative energies of people who enter our home. It’s worth a try.
