Want to bring in health, wealth, and happiness into your life? There is no better place to start than the room where you begin your day — the Bathroom. This article will teach you how to use Feng Shui to bring positive energy into your life with your bathroom plants. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that aims to bring people in harmony with their environment. In this practice, green is said to bring growth, new beginnings, healing, nourishment, calmness, and balance. For best results place the plants over the toilet, either on the water tank or on a shelving unit above it. This positions the plants to best purify the bathroom and ward of negative energy. Placing the plants in clay pots also helps with water purification. Here are the top plants to bring some good chi into your life:

Golden Pothos
The Golden (Cascading) Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is also known as the Money Plant because its big leaves look like money. Luckily, this plant is not known for bringing any wealth into your life. This is lucky because in Feng Shui putting plants that bring good financial fortune in the bathroom causes your wealth to be flushed down the toilet. In Feng Shui the Golden Pothos helps prevent against hostile, negative vibes and serves to clear the air. For obvious reasons, this can be very beneficial in a bathroom. These fellas are also very difficult to kill, a huge benefit to the neglectful plant parents amongst us.
