I know that anything dead has bad chi. What is the effect of dried flowers, silk flowers, or plastic flowers?
Not anything dead has bad chi. If your house or your furniture are made of wood, then there are too many dead objects in your house. Do they create sha chi? Of course not. Then why bother about dried flowers? As long as they are beautiful it does not matter whether they are dried flowers, silk flowers or plastic flowers. What is beautiful is a source of sheng chi. Living flowers have one more ingredient – that of life and are more suitable. The elemental significance of dried flowers is weak. Therefore they are rather neutral in Feng Shui considerations.
