1. Lily (Lilium).

It is not recommended to keep such a flower for people with heart disease and hypertension. With such diseases, the scent of a flower can cause dizziness and mood loss, up to depressive states.

All flowers with a strong aroma should be placed in a well-ventilated area.Then there will be no problems with feeling unwell.

Folk signs: what is possible, what is not?

To trust folk omens or not is a personal matter for everyone. At the same time, it is worth remembering that most often signs arise on the basis of long-term observations of ancestors. Consider what the appearance of some indoor plants in the house entails:

1. Cacti are unfavorable plants for the home. It is believed that the presence of a cactus in the apartment turns the husband into a person suffering from alcoholism. There is a second sign, which says that in a house where there is a cactus, a girl will not marry happily or will not meet a chosen one at all. Also, cactus has a bad effect on relationships between family members.
2. Ferns take vitality from a person, being an energy vampire. In a house with a fern, a person will feel constantly tired, inactive, sleepy.
3. Ivy and climbing plants, according to folk signs, scare men away. In a house where there are such plants, a man will constantly strive to go somewhere. In addition, ivy negatively affects the state of mind, depriving a person of optimism and balance. It is best to keep these plants outside the house. So, ivy will act as a protector.
4. Dieffenbachia is dangerous for its poisonous properties, and also takes health away from the household.
5. Mother-in-law's tongue is a plant that has practically no stem, with elongated longitudinal leaves with a bright green color. It is believed that the presence of such a flower in the house leads to loneliness and the inability of the girl to get married. The plant has a negative effect on feminine strength, so it is dangerous to keep it in the bedroom. The flower, as it were, "drives" men out of the house.
6. Sansevieria is a curious plant that looks like the tail of a fish. For this reason, it is also nicknamed the "pike tail". The leaves of the flower, painted green, have such a bizarre shape. The plant blooms and has a pleasant aroma. But, according to the signs, it negatively affects family and personal life. The presence of this flower in the house leads to loneliness.
7. The palm tree often decorates the interiors of many rooms, but it is better not to put such a flower at home. The palm tree contributes to the appearance of grief in the family, if it was presented to you. Save this plant for office spaces or other locations.
8. Ficus can cause allergies, but in addition, it is believed that the flower negatively affects the appearance of children in the house. If you want a child, then this plant is not worth purchasing. Ficus has long been controversial. There is a directly opposite opinion on this plant. It says that ficus solves the problem of infertility and contributes to family well-being.

Feng Shui

In Feng Shui, it is important to pay attention not only to the type of flower, but also to the state in which it is. There are several basic rules for keeping flowers and plants in the house according to Feng Shui:

• You should not keep dried flowers in the apartment.
• All old plants that no longer bloom and do not give young shoots should be thrown away.
• Sick flowers should not be kept in the house, as they will take away your health.
• A flower that you take care of for a long time, but all actions are useless, and it withers, should also be removed from the house. The plant spreads negative energy.
• It is worth choosing those flowers whose leaves are directed upwards. According to Feng Shui, such plants bring positive energy to the house. Plants with leaves that stretch down, on the contrary, land it.
• It is better to choose flowers with a rounded leaf shape.
• You shouldn't have a lot of plants in the bedroom and next to the bed.
• According to Feng Shui, all plants are divided into female and male (Yin and Yang).Women include begonia, violet, fat woman, cyclamen. Citrus fruits, dracaena, chlorophytum and others are considered male plants.
• For the most favorable energy field in the house, it is necessary to keep the Yin and Yang plants.

According to the rules of Feng Shui, there are no favorable or unfavorable types of flowers, but some are still not worth buying for keeping in the house. All plants with poor energy include those that have sharp leaves. It is believed that such flowers bring quarrels and discord to the family. Needles and thorns also provoke scandals, so you should choose plants with soft needles. The main plant that is not recommended to grow in Feng Shui at home is bonsai.

It is a dwarf tree whose growth has been artificially stopped. Such a tree will stop the development of its owner, negatively affect career success and general well-being.

List of Recommended Plants

For good energy in Feng Shui, it is recommended to grow the following flowers:

1. Money tree - brings prosperity to the house in the material sense. In another way it is called "fat woman". It is recommended to plant such a tree with your own hands, and put a coin on the bottom of the pot.
2. Bamboo absorbs bad energy and turns it into positive energy.
3. The lemon tree can increase activity and independence.
4. Ficus should be placed anywhere in the house, but not in the bedroom. If this plant is in the bedroom, then the relationship between the spouses may deteriorate. It is believed that ficus relieves aggression and neutralizes negative energy.
5. Geraniums also cannot be placed next to the bed and in the bedroom. According to Feng Shui, it is believed that this flower secretes essential oils that soothe the nervous system and improve metabolism. But excessive inhalation of these oils causes allergies and headaches.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that the choice of indoor plants is more dependent on your personal preferences. Observe safety precautions when handling poisonous flowers. Do not forget about their danger to children and animals.

Some indoor plants, despite their beauty, are not at all harmless. Read more below.

When breeding plants, few people are interested in the question of which flowers cannot be kept at home. At the same time, there is both scientific evidence of the harmfulness of some flowers, as well as folk omens and feng shui, which many growers also take seriously.

• Poisonous plants
• Plants - allergens
• The danger of favorite and common plants
• Folk omens
• Trust but check

Plants are not always as harmless as they seem. Some of them are weakly poisonous.

Orchid species popular for home cultivation are not particularly dangerous. They can only cause headaches in people who are sensitive to odors.

Climbing plants: it will not be possible to generalize here, and science and popular beliefs are not unanimous, and the latter are even paradoxical

What does science say about dangerous plants?

First of all, let's consider the scientific side of the issue. After all, growing plants, we want them not only to decorate the room, but also to be useful, or at least not to harm the household.

Dwarf bougainvillea. You should work with it carefully - bougainvillea juice can cause skin rashes

It's no secret that indoor plants can cause serious harm to their owners.So, some of them are poisonous, others are allergens, and still others combine these two dangers. In addition, some types of plants can negatively affect your well-being. For example, you may experience headaches or fatigue due to the strong scent of some flowers.

However, do not panic and throw out all the flowers from your windowsill. Indeed, there are about 50 indoor plants on the list of poisonous plants. This is approximately 2% of their total!

Houseplants on the blacklist can make you feel unwell

Plants Dangerous to Children

First of all, all mothers take care of their children. Therefore, first of all, let's talk about those indoor plants that can be harmful to babies. The danger increases due to their excessive mobility and curiosity. They strive to touch the new inhabitants of the house or taste them. Therefore, the choice of plants in a house where there are children should be approached especially carefully.

Decorative ferns in the design of the living room. Allergy sufferers should be careful with them

One of the types of ficuses. If you want to oxygenate the room day and night, then it is better to choose another plant for this.

Keep kids away from the seemingly innocent and beloved plant like lily of the valley because it contains cardiac glycosides. They harm the cardiovascular system, nervous system, gastrointestinal tract.

Innocent and delicate lilies of the valley will not harm adults, but they should be kept out of the reach of curious young children.

Oddly enough, such a seemingly useful plant, like celandine, also fell into the list of dangerous plants. This is because it contains milky juice. If it gets on the mucous membranes or even the skin of the child, it can provoke redness and burns. This is not the end of its negative impact. Celandine contains alkaloids. If they enter the gastrointestinal tract, the child may be poisoned.

Many people know about the danger of celandine. This herb contains alkaloids and can burn the skin with juice

In addition, you should get rid of those plants that have bright fruits. For example, aglaonema is especially dangerous. When it self-pollinates, small red berries may appear. Children may want to pick them up and taste them. However, they are extremely poisonous and can cause serious health damage.

Children need to be taught which plants are poisonous and why. In the future, this will only be useful to them, but now it will be able to protect them from poisoning.

Pink anthuriums are also somewhat dangerous for humans.

Other plants that are absolutely contraindicated for a nursery include the following:

• oleander;
• ehmeya;

Cute houseplant ehmeya

• monstera;
• dieffenbachia;
• alocasia;
• ficuses.

• cacti;

All of them have negative energy, and some are completely poisonous. Others, like ficuses, absorb oxygen intensively at night.

Advice! Considering that it is extremely important for a child to always receive a lot of oxygen for normal development, it is better to refuse ficus in the house.

A chic ficus tree in the interior of a country house for reasons of sanitary standards will be incomparably more appropriate

In addition to the danger to children, you should also think about the benefits of indoor plants. So, you need to opt for those colors that have positive energy, add oxygen to the room, purify the air. This is very important for a child.

Poisonous plants

Poisonous indoor plants are dangerous not only for children, but also for adults. Therefore, check your windowsills for the following types of plants:

• Alocasia. All parts of it are extremely poisonous.

Tropical plant alocasia - poisonous to humans

• Azalea (see photo). Its leaves contain toxic substances - glycoside and andromedotoxin. Other parts of the plant are also poisonous.Swallowing them is deadly.

Azalea bonsai. Unfortunately, it is toxic if it enters the digestive tract, so move it as far as possible from places where children can access

• Anthurium. The juice of this plant contains a strong poison.
• Clivia. It contains lycorin, which can provoke paralysis.

Bright red anthurium. Poisonous, keep it away from children and animals

Clivia juice, like a number of other flowers from the Amaryllidaceae family, contains the alkaloid licorine

• Croton. Has a poisonous milky juice.
• Monstera (photo). Its juice contains a strong poison.

Monstera looks very majestic. If at home it can harm children and pets, then there are no warnings in the office for its content.

Croton from the extensive Euphorbia family

• Oleander (see photo). It also contains poison. The sap of this plant can even cause loss of vision, and the scent of such beautiful flowers can cause dizziness. No wonder, according to a Greek legend, wives put this flower near the plates of their unfaithful husbands, hinting that next time it would be in their soup.

The smell of oleander can make you dizzy. Caution: the juice is dangerous for the eyes

• Poinsettia. Dangerous for its poisonous milky juice. So, if you cut off the poinsettia leaves, they will emit a poisonous white juice that can provoke burns.

Poinsettia, like celandine, is dangerous because of its juice

Many of these plants, in addition to being poisonous, are also highly allergenic.

Plants - allergens

Sadly, but a fairly large number of indoor plants, which are often found in many homes, are allergens during flowering.

Allergens, in addition to many of the plants listed above, include pelargonium, fern, cyclamen, rhododendron (aka azalea) and others. What kind of reaction do they evoke in a person? For example, aglaonema juice can strongly irritate the skin and mucous membranes.

Hanging gardens of pelargonium pots. This flower can provoke an allergic attack.

Fern is a strong allergen

Cyclamen during flowering can cause allergies

Dieffenbachia is able to decorate any windowsill thanks to its exquisite large leaves. However, it can cause tissue swelling if it enters the mouth. Why is this beautiful plant poisonous? Dieffenbachia can poison a child or pet if they swallow a leaf. In addition, you need to be careful when transplanting it or cutting off the leaves. In this case, you can burn yourself with its juice. The philodendron is just as dangerous.

Rearrange dieffenbachia higher if there are children and four-legged pets in the house

Croton and oleander are also strong allergens, and ficus does not take an honorable third place after them.

The danger of favorite and common plants

Of course, the greatest danger is fraught with wild or exotic plants, which hardly anyone would think of growing on their windowsill. However, you need to be careful even with such familiar compact plants as begonia, orchid, geranium and hydrangea. What is their danger?

Outdoor hanging orchid planters - harmless

The regal hydrangea is also on the list of plants for which warnings are needed.

A rare window sill now does without a beautifully blooming geranium. After all, this beautiful plant is unpretentious and does not need special care. In addition, it has a fairly long flowering period. However, geranium can lead to headaches or even severe asthma.

Geranium. One of the most common houseplants

Other indoor plants familiar to us are also dangerous. Growing orchids at home has become fashionable lately. However, they have a relatively strong pungent odor that can lead to insomnia or simply worsen mood, which is also unpleasant.

It is fraught with danger and such a plant loved by many flower growers as azalea. If its leaf enters the body, it can cause convulsions and intestinal colic.

There is some danger and beloved by all begonia. This seemingly harmless plant tends to emit volatile substances. They fight disease-causing microbes. Of course, this is a positive property of the plant. However, you need to work with it carefully. This is because begonia contains insoluble oxalic acid salts. They can cause severe burns and irritation of the mouth.

The favorite of gardeners begonia

White begonia is an inimitable decoration for any interior. And it also has antimicrobial properties due to phytoncides. This is her plus

You should also be wary of such beautiful flowers as lilies. At night, they intensively absorb oxygen and emit carbon dioxide. So don't be surprised if you wake up with a headache the next morning.

Advice! It is not recommended to keep lilies in the bedroom.

It is not advisable to place lilies in the bedroom.

Folk omens

There are many legends about which flowers cannot be kept at home. Since most avid flower growers are women, most of the popular beliefs boil down to the fact that, due to the wrong choice of plant, the husband can leave, change, sleep, die, etc. And who among us has not heard the "horror stories" about ivy? Which in no case should be kept at home, otherwise there is a high probability that your spouse will leave you. This mainly applies to climbing ivy (see photo). Its congener is contraindicated for an unmarried girl. If she dares to take up his cultivation, then there is a high probability of remaining an old maid.

There are many legends and beliefs about ivy

Despite popular beliefs, ivy purifies the air by reducing germs.

Thus, if you believe the signs, then ivy and marriage are completely incompatible things. And these beliefs arose, most likely, because ivy is considered an energy vampire.

If you can still believe in some omens, then there are completely strange beliefs. For example, there is a legend among the people that if they gave you a palm tree, then it is strictly forbidden to bring it into the house, as this can lead to misfortune. However, even with such a gift, you can find a way out of the situation. The palm tree can simply be rolled into the house on a bicycle.

A beautiful palm tree in a modern interior. There are strange and curious beliefs about her.

Trust but check

Despite the paradoxical nature of these popular beliefs, many omens are scientifically justified. For example, as described above, it is not recommended to keep a cactus at home because of its danger to children and some other properties. Folk omens also do not trust this thorny plant. It is believed that growing a cactus at home can lead to the husband becoming addicted to alcohol.

Cacti are dangerous for children and pets

Cacti in company with other succulents. In the living room, where there are no freely moving animals, as well as children - in general, they are practically not dangerous

Paradoxical omens relate to wealth and happiness. So, it is worth some kind of house plant to bloom, then expect trouble. And if it never blooms, then be poor for you.

Of course, most of these signs regarding indoor plants in modern people only cause a smile, but it was not for nothing that our ancestors were so attentive to the choice of plants. Therefore, you should not, of course, blindly believe in non-native wisdom. Better to check them with scientific facts. And if they do not recommend keeping this or that houseplant at home, then it is reasonable to heed such advice.

White orchid is great for decorating your home if you are not complaining about an overly sensitive sense of smell.

Some harmful plants can still be grown at home, while taking precautions. that's why they remain popular and loved

If your favorite indoor plants are on the "black list", and you do not want to throw them away, then read the rules for handling them and work with them only with gloves. But in order to be completely sure of your safety, it is better to completely abandon the cultivation of such a plant at home. After all, there are many more equally beautiful plants. And, of course, you need to avoid keeping poisonous flowers at home if you have children growing up.

Hi everyone! Today on the women's site we will talk about indoor plants, which, for whatever reason, are not desirable to keep in the house.

Familiarize

Oddly enough, cacti require anxious care. If you do not follow them, then they can die even before you discover it. If you are not sure that you can take care of it, then it is better to think about buying some other plant that suits you better.

Lianas with aerial roots - scindapsus.

For a long time people believe in something. After all, it is faith that is the basis of all living things. Therefore, there are some superstitions regarding indoor plants. So, for example, scindapsus is a beautiful houseplant. But as the people say, if he is in the apartment, the husband will leave his wife from home.

As you know, all plants have a "temperament". Indeed, some grow and reproduce much faster than others under the same environmental conditions. So, for example, if you and your indoor flowers do not match each other in temperament, then this can negatively affect the plants themselves.

Even though you will give them all your care and love, indoor plants, in any case, may stop growing or even dry out.

Recently, there are more and more superstitions that relate to plants. The main reason is the decline in popularity, as a result of which they began to be discussed. But do not forget that plants are also living beings. Therefore, everyone needs to choose their own approach.

Another outcast is the ivy houseplant. It is considered a harmful plant. By itself, it is completely harmless. It, like other plants, also absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, but it still has one drawback.

What plants can not be kept in a house in an ivy apartment

Ivy harms all plants that surround it. As a result, all flowers that come under its influence after a certain period wither.

Its peculiarity is that it weaves around various trees, columns and pillars. If you decide to purchase it, it needs to be provided with more natural conditions. After all, this plant is a parasite.

Astrologers believe that indoor plants such as cactus and ivy belong to the signs of Taurus and Gemini.They suggest that the connection between stars and plants exists in the same way as between humans.

As for the indoor plant, which bears the name "Money tree, it not only contributes to the emergence of funds, but also portends a danger.

Florists do not recommend growing tropical and parasitic plants at home, as well as indoor plants with climbing and creeping stems. Who does not believe in such verdicts, then you can go to the page following the link and find out how they look and about the peculiarities of growing and caring for them. It should be noted that we ourselves may be doing more harm to them. After all, such plants are quite difficult to maintain.

As for flowering plants, they contribute to the development of hidden talents, as well as scented candles, oils and perfumes from them. Therefore, almost all of their species can be grown.

Today, people do not believe that such unique living creatures as houseplants can cause a quarrel or even a divorce of lovers.

Florists advise against starting caring for plants if you are not ready for it yet. After all, they will need to devote a lot of time, as well as monitor their growth and development.

It is impossible to quickly grow a flower recently bought in a store, even if it is the crossbar of the fact that it is the same living being as you are.

So which plants shouldn't be kept at home or in an apartment? The most dangerous plants.

But the most dangerous are plants such as azalea, euphorbia, clivia, monstera, hydrangea, brovallia, gloriosa and dieffenbachia.

Hydrangea (hydrangea).

Gloriosa (gloriosa).

Unfortunately, it is these indoor plants that many people love to keep in their homes.

They are not related to superstition. They are a real threat to both adults and children.

For example, gloriosa juice is very dangerous for babies, as if ingested, it stimulates hair loss and damages the kidneys.

Clivia (clivia).

Adenium (adenium).

As for adenium and clivia, if they get inside, the child may be poisoned, and this will further cause an emetic effect.

Ficus is a plant that is intended for office use only. It is forbidden to grow it in apartments. The sap of this plant can cause burns and allergies, which can be very difficult to get rid of.

Although according to the latest data, it is precisely the ficus that is classified as a medicinal plant, this may be why caution towards this plant is caused.

I have long wanted, in addition to the article about the transplantation of indoor plants, to write about which plants should be kept at home, and vice versa, which flowers should not be kept at home and why. But it turned out to be so difficult ...

Both the literature that I have at home and the Internet with the latest recommendations contradict each other and themselves so much that go figure it out.

And to the mutually exclusive advice, folk signs and feng shui are added, which contribute ... in general, a whole science turns out)))

I can't say that I definitely believe that if you breed green pets religiously following what flowers must be in the house, then you will be happy. Everything would be so simple ...

Nevertheless, there is a grain of truth, and considerable, in all these tips and it is worth listening at least because they did not appear out of nowhere. For years (centuries) people have observed which of them emit positive energy, improve mood and performance. And scientists at that time drew their own conclusions: these absorb oxygen, so they have no place in the bedroom, they are poisonous - keep them away from children, well, the essence is clear))

I share what I personally read and heard about, and you decide to believe or not, and add your opinion about the "useful and harmful" indoor plants you know in the comments.

Let's start with general rules.

Useful indoor plants for the home with a photo

The main general rule is that there should be no sick, dying and even simply unkempt plants in the house. This is explained by the fact that only beautiful and healthy indoor flowers for the eyes can enhance the positive energy of the house.

Therefore: we wash and water our pets in a timely manner, remove dry leaves, fertilize, treat, and throw out those who cannot be treated.

If you have no time to mess around with flowers, buy plants for your home that are not demanding in care: sansevieria (pike tail), oval crassula (fat woman), chlorophytum, cacti, bamboo.

Plants that are universal for the home that can be placed anywhere are:

Begonia

Decorative bamboo

Spathiphyllum - "female happiness")))

Fat woman - "money tree"

Cyclamen

Violet

Ficus

It is believed that they can be kept in any room. You can definitely read more about what flowers should be in the house in the article "About the most useful indoor plants for our home."

(The list may not be complete, add other plants if you know))

Now, general information about which plants cannot be kept at home.

What indoor plants can not be kept at home, photo

At this point, everything is very ambiguous. If the plant is "harmful" from the point of view of Feng Shui, then in the Slavic traditions it is quite acceptable; if, according to folk signs, it negatively affects relationships, then it can be kept in the kitchen, and not in the bedroom; if it is poisonous, then it will be quite appropriate in a house where there are no small children and animals.

Let's try to sort out in groups which flowers cannot be kept at home and why.

What indoor plants that cannot be kept at home in Feng Shui

According to this ancient science, cacti are prohibited in the house.

Sometimes there is an opinion that poisonous plants are also undesirable, but since I do not have a Feng Shui master I know, it is not possible to find out.

About the cacti. I want to say a few words in their defense, because I myself really love them))

Are cacti in the house good or bad?

Even feng shui itself is not so categorical, experts advise to be careful about these "thorns", cacti, milkweed, and not to keep them in the bedroom or nursery. It is believed that they contribute to quarrels, as they make people "prickly". But a study, kitchen or hallway will do just fine.

And although scientists categorically declare that cacti do not absorb harmful electromagnetic waves (remember how at one time everyone paving small pots of cacti in front of monitors? 😉) coming from a TV or computer, a cactus placed in the office will be useful, it is believed that it stimulates mental activity and improves performance.

Folk omens do not advise unmarried women who want to meet their betrothed to keep the cactus, because with its sharp needles it "scares away" potential suitors.

But if you are already married or you are not going there at all 😉 feel free to put cacti on the window in a room where you are not constantly, because with the same thorns cacti “drive away” negative energy from housing.

Houseplants that cannot be kept at home according to folk signs

Surely everyone has heard that climbing plants and vines, which allegedly "do not allow" men to stay in the house, are not in honor. This is, for example, Tradescantia,

Ivy

Epipremnum

Golden mustache

Here again there are "buts".

In accordance with the teachings of Feng Shui, it is climbing and ivy-like plants that are able to protect the house, repelling the attacks of "poisonous arrows sha", that is, negative energy that comes from objects and is directed to a specific place in your apartment. They will also help to compensate for the bad energy of the “defective” wall in your home.

From a scientific point of view, many of them are excellent air purifiers. Therefore, it is worth reconsidering your attitude towards curly pets.

I don’t know how Tradescantia fell into disfavor as “expelling” men, since it is considered a symbol of prosperity.

This is a flower that has a high energy sensitivity and with its help you can determine if there are problems at home and if family members are in a depressed state. If there are such negative points, then the Tradescantia begins to wither, dry, the leaves go down and fall. If everything is in order, then she is able to charge the house with positive energy.

Houseplants that cannot be kept at home for "scientific" reasons

It's clear with poisonous plants - you just need to be careful with them. Make sure that their juice does not get into the mouth and eyes, and also that they are not touched by children and pets.

It is desirable to know such plants "by sight".

Oleander.

A flower that is very popular with flower growers, but has "increased toxicity". Even just from its aroma, dizziness can occur, not to mention the juice, which causes burns, if it enters the esophagus - poisoning, and if it gets on the mucous membrane of the eye, it can cause blindness. Be careful, even if there are no small children in the house, when replanting oleander, wear gloves.

Poisonous, although less, are:

Nightshade

Dieffenbachia

Some varieties of milkweed

Adenium

The "vampirism" of some plants is scientifically well grounded. So, in the recreation area it is not necessary to have a monster. Which is not a vampire at all, but simply absorbs oxygen in large quantities, so you may get the feeling that positive energy has been drawn out of you.

The same can be said for yucca.

As a result: indoor plants that are definitely not worth keeping at home simply do not exist, because they are indoor plants 🙂

I will add a large lyrical postscript)) The fact that indoor plants have energy and, I would even say, their own feelings and "concepts", I was convinced by an incident that happened at work. In the office of the deputy chief, a young athletic man, a beautiful Chinese rose was growing.

There was no doubt that she was a "woman" - the smooth curves of the twigs, constantly blooming red buds and the delicate appearance confirmed her belonging to the "weaker sex".

She was clearly not indifferent to her owner, constantly preening herself by dissolving beautiful buds. But he, like many men, did not appreciate her love and "looking at" another - a miniature violet in a small pot, decided to replace the tall rose and pulled it out of the office into the reception room, asking an employee who was an avid summer resident to look after her.

Every day we watched the rose grow worse, she slouched, dropped the twigs and sadly dropped the leaves, when her former owner passed by, despite his "infidelity", the rose continued to love him.

What the experienced summer resident did not fertilize her, as soon as she did not rearrange it from the sun to the shade and back - the rose was withering. Once again glancing at the almost bald shrunken bush, the deputy chief's heart trembled, he moved the miniature "favorite" into a corner and brought the dying rose back to the office.

And, you know, she forgave him))) She sprang up, let out new shoots and leaves, and soon she was again adorned with tender buds. Still, she could not be ugly in the presence of a beloved man!

So she “lived” with her owner until her old age, moving from place to place as the head of posts and offices changed, but, despite the change in the situation, she never faded and wasted away again, and is it really possible if he is next to him without which you cannot live ...

I wanted to describe in the article what flowers should be kept / not kept in the bedroom and in the nursery, which ones will be useful for the kitchen, whether it is worth planting the well-known geraniums and whether it is worth keeping reeds at home. But the topic turned out to be so extensive, just material for scientific work))) therefore I will write about which specific indoor plants should be placed in certain rooms in the next article, with which I will try not to linger.

May your "green pets" please you :)
