Where should crystal trees be placed in Feng Shui? Placement Guide
Customer feedback has always been the greatest driving force for GiftsGoGo’s progress.
Recently, some customers who purchased our crystal trees raised several questions about their proper placement. To help more friends understand, this article provides an in-depth analysis of the rules and principles for placing crystal trees.
In traditional Chinese feng shui, the placement of a crystal tree depends on orientation, material, and spatial energy flow. Below are the placement rules and recommendations:
1. Placement According to Feng Shui Wealth Positions
1.1 Bright Wealth Position (Primary Wealth Spot — Diagonal from the Main Door)
It is recommended to place a yellow crystal tree at the traditional wealth position located 45° diagonally opposite the main entrance:
- For houses facing south (sitting north facing south): choose the southwest or north corner.
- For houses facing west (sitting east facing west): choose the east or north corner.
This placement helps attract wealth and positive energy, but avoid placing it directly facing the main door or under beams.
If the living room layout is irregular, adjust according to the Eight Mansions Method (Ba Zhai) or Flying Star Feng Shui (Xuan Kong Fei Xing).
How to locate the bright wealth position:
- Door opens on the left side → wealth corner is at the top right diagonal.
- Door opens on the right side → wealth corner is at the top left diagonal.
- Door at the center → choose the brighter side away from the kitchen or bathroom.
Keep this area open and stable, avoiding pathways or door alignments, to prevent “wealth coming and going.”
1.2 Hidden Wealth Position (Directional Wealth Spot)
For 2025, the southwest is the annual wealth position.
- Southwest (Earth element): yellow crystal tree with red ribbons or green plants to activate wood-fire-earth generating energy.
- Northwest (Metal element): white crystal tree to enhance career and benefactor luck.
How to locate hidden wealth positions (based on house orientation):
- Kan House (sitting north facing south): southwest, north.
- Li House (sitting south facing north): northeast, south.
- Zhen House (sitting east facing west): east, north.
- Dui House (sitting west facing east): south, northwest, southeast.
For other orientations, refer to Ba Zhai or Gui Cang methods.
2. Placement According to Physical Space or Function
2.1 Living Room / Entrance Hall
Place in a visible area (such as the “C-position” or entryway) to elevate overall energy.
Yellow crystal trees should receive ample light, but avoid direct sunlight.
2.2 Office
Place in the upper left corner (Green Dragon position) to boost career fortune.
For business settings, position it at the commercial wealth corner (45° diagonal from the main door).
2.3 Bedroom
A mini crystal tree can improve sleep quality, but avoid placing it at the foot of the bed or near mirrors.

4. Taboos and Maintenance Tips
Avoid placing crystal trees in toilets, funeral parlors, or other areas with heavy yin energy, and do not position them facing toilets, religious statues, or directly beneath beams.
To maintain their energy, clean regularly and perform moonlight cleansing on the 15th day of each lunar month.
Through thoughtful arrangement, a crystal tree can harmonize spatial energy.
For best results, tailor placement to your personal destiny (Ba Zi) and house orientation.
