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 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.
6. The myrtle tree can improve the relationship in marriage. Promotes harmony in family life and revitalization of relationships.
