One place where you should not have any kind of plant is in your bedroom. If you want to improve your sleep and ensure pleasant dreams, you should not use plants. Plants in the bedroom will not allow positive energy to flow.

Plants generate positive energy, so they will be more beneficial when placed in other areas of your home. Feng Shui advises you to use tall plants which can be easily placed here and are recommended to have in the kitchen.
