Flower colors symbolize Yin or Yang energies. Plants and coherent position-matching colors in the garden, will bring good luck and peace for the occupants of the house.

As is known, feng (wind) shui (water) is an expression of the elements of strength that flows from the natural environment (cosmic). But the cosmic force (qi) are not only invisible flow of energy from wind and water, but also the energy of the Earth. In other words feng shui is the art of living in harmony with nature, in order to benefit from the cosmic power to create peace, and prosperity.

Applying feng shui principles when designing, building and managing a house, have done by a lot of people. But using the same principle in the plant layout and colors match the flowers in the garden may be just a little one knows.

To get a profitable flow of energy within the garden, the element of Yin and Yang must be balanced. Well, a flower or leaf color, ornament, in the garden can help stimulate the natural energy flow and enhance the creation of harmony.

The balance of Yin – Yang

Yang energy (the active masculine / positive) symbolized the sun and bright colors like red, orange, and yellow. Yin energy (passive feminine / negative) is symbolized the moon and soft colors such as violet, blue, and green. Front gardens (public areas) symbolizes Yang energy. While the rear garden (private area), the symbol of Yin energy.

Well, what kind of flowers’ colors should be selected? Because the front garden represents Yang energy, should be planted with flowers and bright flashy colors such as orange, red, and yellow. Those colors can absorb the positive energy into the house. Especially the flowers like this takes the heat. Suitable planted in front of the house with a lot of sunlight.

So, what fits in the back garden? To create peace in the back garden as a place of relaxation or contemplation, choose the Yin flower colors such as blue, the soothing purple, or silver-leaved plants or gray. Keep the flower color variants remain simple. If too much color variety, it would disrupt the balance of energy flow.

1. The essentials must always be given major consideration.

Your flower garden must have an adequate supply of water, sunlight, and fertile soil. Any lack of these basic necessities will greatly affect the health of plants. Water the flower garden more frequently during dry spells.

When planting bulbs, make sure they go at the correct depth. When planting out shrubs and perennials, make sure that you don’t heap soil or mulch up around the stem. If you do, water will drain off instead of sinking in, and the stem could develop rot through overheating.

2. Mix and match perennials with annuals.

Perennial flower bulbs need not to be replanted since they grow and bloom for several years while annuals grow and bloom for only one season. Mixing a few perennials with annuals ensures that you will always have blooms coming on.

3. Deadhead to encourage more blossoms.

Deadheading is simply snipping off the flower head after it wilts. This will make the plant produce more flowers. Just make sure that you don’t discard the deadhead on the garden or mildew and other plant disease will attack your plants.

4. Know the good from the bad bugs.

Most garden insects do more good than harm. Butterflies, beetles and bees are known pollinators. They fertilize plants through unintentional transfer of pollen from one plant to another. 80% of flowering plants rely on insects for survival.

Sowbugs and dung beetles together with fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms are necessary to help in the decomposition of dead plant material, thus enriching the soil and making more nutrients available to growing plants.

Other insects like lacewings and dragonflies are natural predators of those insects that do the real damage, like aphis.

An occasional application of liquid fertilizer when plants are flowering will keep them blooming for longer.

Always prune any dead or damaged branches. Fuchsias are particularly prone to snapping when you brush against them. The broken branch can be potted up to give you a new plant, so it won’t be wasted.
