Published: 2 July 2024
Launched in November 2018, the long-awaited Plantation Grove Build-To-Order (BTO) housing estate in Tengah has recently obtained TOP (temporary occupation permit).
Located in Plantation district of the new Tengah town, next to the town’s first neighbourhood centre, this new BTO estate promises convenience to residents in time to come. In this article, we will take an in-depth fengshui review on Plantation Grove to see how it fares in terms of residential fengshui. Read on!
Plantation Grove: Landform Fengshui
Bounded along Tengah Drive, Plantation Crescent and Bukit Batok Road, Plantation Grove resides on the Western Dragon, belonging to the fengshui formation of “Land of the Flower Basket”. It is believed that long-time residents in this region possess good looks and great talents. They are also often equipped with capabilities and growing wealth.
In terms of development, those who are working in creative-related businesses and educational institutions will do well here. Families and singles looking to strive in their career, especially females, can also consider this area.
Also, it is good to take note of the nearby fengshui formation of a pair of “Golden Boy and Jade Girl”, located respectively at Jurong East and Jurong West. Romance luck abounds in this area and singles can look forward to finding their ideal partners. Nonetheless, caution is needed to avoid love tragedies. In particular, married people must practise faithfulness, or one will share the same fate as the golden boy and jade girl who remain separated.
External fengshui considerations

As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a new home.
With the community club based at Plantation Grove and the neighbourhood centre next to it, residents can easily access amenities such as shopping and dining options, and the Jurong Region Line MRT station (in future). The estate – like others in Tengah town – is also designed with community and nature in mind.
The green spaces within the BTO development and the easy accessibility to amenities promises a conducive living space for the residents. Nevertheless, residents at Plantation Grove can expect noises and heavier traffic during peak hours, especially for the stacks along Bukit Batok Road and those near the neighbourhood centre. You are also likely to encounter noise pollution (Sound Sha) due to the proximity to the MRT tracks. To reduce noise disturbances at home, you may consider installing sound-proof curtains or blinds.
Also, stacks 21, 23, 45, 47, 53, 55, 67, 85, 87, 155, 157, 163, 165, 541, 543, 555, 557, 571, 573, 591, 593, 603, 605, 619, 621, 641 are in close proximity to the centralised refuse chute and may be affected when the wind blows, especially if rubbish is not disposed of properly. If you are staying in one of these stacks, you must ensure that your front door does not face the refuse chute directly. If required, you may want to consult a professional fengshui practitioner for remedies to such a situation.
Plantation Grove, like many other BTO developments in Tengah, will be surrounded by high-rise residential buildings as this new town is expected to develop rapidly within the next 20 years. As such, take note of future developments surrounding your home, as this indicates potential conflict points, as well as pollution and negative energies (Sha Qi) during the construction period.
High-rise buildings in proximity present a potential risk of conflicts such as Tian Zhan Sha (home’s frontage facing an opening between two or more building structures that funnel negative energies), corner Sha (角煞) where sharp corners present hidden threats or oppression, etc. If you encounter such scenarios, you may display a pair of guardian lions or Six Emperor Coins emblem to ward off the negative energies. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
Internal fengshui considerations
Homeowners should bear in mind the main orientation of your house, as it will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s). The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

Plantation Grove offers 1,620 units across 17 residential blocks of 2-room Flexi, 3-, 4- and 5-room, and 3Gen flats from 8 to 14 storeys.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the fengshui Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063), and Northwest and Southeast are the second most auspicious directions.
The following table lists the Period 9 Auspicious Homes. Do you live in any of these units?
*PS These are on the boundary between 2 sectors of directions. Therefore, it is suggested to seek advice from a professional fengshui consultation for guidance.
Note that there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone. If in doubt, you may like to leave it to the professionals. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home.
This is especially if your unit is facing less favourable directions such as East, West, Northeast or Southwest. Getting a reliable fengshui consultation can help you to clear doubts and ensure that your household thrives in the current Period 9 .
Homeowners should also take note that if your unit faces your neighbour’s main door directly. From a fengshui viewpoint, such a layout may lead conflicting energies between both households to arise and affect harmony. As such, homeowners are recommended to place a grey arc-shaped carpet at your front door. Doing so can help you to neutralise negative energies and accumulate wealth.
Did you know?
Money is not everything, but without it, you can hardly do anything. For those who are focused on building your wealth, you may want to be more mindful of your wealth position, as well as the shoe shelf, in your home.
The wealth position refers to a place where wealth accumulates. Hence, the space surrounding your wealth position must be kept clean and tidy. There should not be clutter, electrical appliances or sharp objects around or at your wealth position.
There is heavy Sha (煞气) aka negative energies where the shoe shelf is located. Hence, your wealth luck will be affected if your shoe shelf directly faces your wealth position. Some people unknowingly positioned their shoe shelf at their wealth position. When this happens, their wealth is likely to disperse and one may find that it is difficult to accumulate wealth. Should this happen, it is best to shift the shoe shelf or avoid placing shoes within the rack.
For the uninitiated, the upcoming Period 9 is actually influenced by a wealth star, indicating growing fortune and propitiousness, just like the current Period 8. However, the Fire element influencing Period 9 is not as stable as the Earth element in Period 8.
If you are planning to conduct home renovation to tap on the benefitting energies of Period 9, do get in touch for a fengshui consultation and some simple door opening ceremony with Door Opening Prosperity Kit on an auspicious date.
Thrive in Period 9 with good home fengshui
As with most things in life, getting it right from the start will save you lots of effort. More than just the correct placement of furniture or avoiding certain colours, home fengshui looks into compatibility amongst the homeowners and your living spaces.
Well-located to various amenities, Plantation Grove promises convenience in time to come. In terms of fengshui, it sits on a favourable fengshui land with several units facing an auspicious direction. For those whose units are facing a less favourable direction, or if you wish to optimise your home layout to tap on the positive energies of Period 9, you may want to consult a fengshui master.
