Fruits have a feng shui energy that represents fruition. Classifications from ancient texts often dictate the use of specific fruits in traditional feng shui applications as specific symbols of longevity, wealth, prosperity, fertility, and so on.

When it comes to choosing fruit images for a feng shui cure, follow your instincts or your understanding of the fruit’s energy as well as its medicinal properties. The colours, numbers, and symbolism of specific fruits are frequently considered in feng shui. Because it is not always possible to have fresh fruits in your home, it is good for feng shui to have specific fruits depicted in paintings or photo art or to have them in a variety of decor items or feng shui charms. The most common fruit symbols used in feng shui applications are described below.

Oranges represent the freshness and cleanse

The refreshing/cleansing odour of oranges, as well as the yang quality of the orange colour, explain their popularity in traditional feng shui applications. It is often recommended as a feng shui cure to keep 9 oranges in one’s living room or kitchen for good luck and prosperity. Citrus fruits are thought to ward off bad luck, which is why oranges, tangerines, and limes are frequently used in traditional feng shui applications.

For their specific energies, it is best to use or display fresh fruits. Traditional feng shui schools, on the other hand, have created a variety of products and cures that incorporate fruit symbolism, ranging from fruit-shaped crystals to various amulets depicting specific fruits.

Apple represents peace

Apple has long been associated with social harmony, good health, and peace. One of the reasons is that the Chinese word for “apple” is pronounced similarly to the word for “peace.” Red apples are considered to be particularly auspicious in terms of colour, though green and golden/yellow apples are also widely used for their colour properties.

Pomegranates help to boost fertility

The pomegranate symbolizes fertility in feng shui and is used as a feng shui fertility cure because of its juicy seeds. Pomegranate also represents family happiness and good fortune for one’s descendants. In China, feng shui consultants frequently advise recently married couples to display art with pomegranates to attract good luck.

Pineapples represent luck

Because the Chinese word for pineapple sounds similar to “good luck coming your way,” it has become a popular traditional feng shui symbol of wealth, fortune, and prosperity.

Grapes represent abundance

Grapes represent the abundance of food in feng shui, which translates to an abundance of material wealth. Grapes have come to symbolize success and abundance in the near future, as well as always being in one’s family. As a result, grape displays are common in Chinese homes. Grapes are sometimes used as a feng shui symbol, or fertility cure, as well as a cure for turning bad luck into good luck.

Peach represents love

The peach is one of the most popular feng shui fruit symbols, representing immortality. Because of its spotlight in many ancient Chinese legends about the Immortal Gods, the peach is also known as the fruit of heaven in feng shui. Peaches have come to symbolize wealth, health, abundance, and longevity. Feng shui considers the peach to be a symbol of love and marriage. “Love luck” is often referred to as “peach blossoms luck” in China.
