Cactus
Type of luck: Boundary setting
In feng shui, the cactus, a type of succulent, can be a controversial plant to incorporate into a household, Hyder says. The plant’s prickly spines can feel aggressive and dangerous. Many feng shui experts would argue against putting a cactus in one’s home at all, especially in a bedroom, because those sleeping in that room may adopt the prickly attitude. Nevertheless, the cactus is a popular houseplant because it comes in many varieties and succulent plant care is generally easy.
The cactus can also represent the importance of setting boundaries, says Hyder. The placement of a cactus plant should be subtle, such as next to a cabinet if it is larger or on a bookshelf if the plant is on the smaller side. The cactus can also absorb argumentative energies, but if you begin to feel nervous or irritable, check the placement of your cactus plant.
