Folk omens
There are a number folk signs who attribute various magical properties to plants. Or maybe this is the result of centuries of observation of the people. Here are some of them:

There are few people who do not have at least one small pot of flowers in their apartment. Indoor plants can successfully complement any style, even if you are an adherent of minimalism or strict hi-tech. When buying plants, hardly anyone will tell you about the "pitfalls", but meanwhile they can literally poison your life! Quartblog has compiled a list of plants that should be said categorically "no" in your home. You will be surprised how many harmless-looking flowers turned out to be there!
1. Azalea
Beautiful in appearance and deadly in taste - this is how this flower can be briefly described. Azalea looks very impressive on any windowsill, different abundant flowering and unpretentious in care, but its leaves contain toxic substances. If they enter the digestive tract, they can even cause toxic shock! If curious pets live in your apartment, eager to pinch off a leaf or two from a plant, we recommend that you immediately send the azalea to the trash can - this way you will extend the life of your pet for many years.
2. Anthurium
Not the most popular, but very spectacular plant that hides a serious danger behind its bright appearance. If in the case of an azalea it had to be tasted, then it’s enough just to cut off the anthurium or transplant it into another pot: the roots of the plant and its juice contain toxic substances, so even if the juice just gets on the skin, you will have a burn. If there are children in the house, this plant should be categorically abandoned.
3. Oleander
If you have watched the movie "White Oleander", then you probably know how much evil lurks in this film. tender plant: Oleander flowers are very poisonous, but their danger does not end there. Even their scent can make you dizzy, especially if you keep oleander indoors in winter. Therefore, it is better to replace this flower with something more harmless.
4. Dieffenbachia
Dieffenbachia can cause swelling of the larynx if you taste its leaves. In especially sensitive people and children, such an action can cause poisoning. When transplanting or pruning, the plant will burn you with its juice, and if there are allergy sufferers in the house, then they will obviously have a hard time with such a green “neighbor”.
5. Monstera
I don’t know about you, but it’s hard for me personally to understand how it comes to people’s mind to settle such a plant at home: it was clearly called such a monstrous name for a reason! In addition, there are rumors that monstera sucks energy from sleeping people, due to which its leaves become large and fleshy. By the way, that is why it is recommended to put it in offices: absorbing all the negativity, it creates peace and quiet in the room.
If such stories do not make the proper impression on you and you are used to believing only facts, then here they are: monstera juice is really poisonous and can cause not only swelling, but even conjunctivitis.
6. Begonia
A beautiful begonia can even be useful: the plant releases antimicrobial substances. However, will they be safe for allergy sufferers and pets? Both those and others can react to them completely ambiguously. In addition, begonias contain oxalic acid salts, which can cause severe burns. oral cavity. So it is better to replace this beautiful plant, for example, with roses.
7. Fern
Various variations of the fern are quite often the basis winter garden: they are really very beautiful and able to turn any room into a real enchanted forest! There is also an opinion that the fern can protect the house from evil spirits and reconcile the people living in it. Unfortunately, all these magical properties will have to be abandoned if allergy sufferers live in the apartment.
8. Orchid
Not so long ago, the orchid was considered something rare and exotic, but now it is often grown right on the windowsill, arranging real orchid mini-gardens. If, reading this, you look with horror at your impressive collection, we will reassure you: orchids are not poisonous! But they can cause dizziness and even headaches in people who are especially sensitive to smells. Keep this in mind as you fill your bedroom with beautiful planters.
9. Ficus
Ficus at first glance is a rather harmless and even boring plant, which is usually placed in offices in impressive tubs. Meanwhile, at night, he insidiously absorbs oxygen, so the proximity to the ficus is unacceptable in a small bedroom. Also, you should not place it in the nursery: who knows what such oxygen "greed" of the plant will lead to.
10. Ivy
Finally, we will share with you a couple more “legends”: despite the fact that ivy is a rather harmless plant and even purifies the air, it may be the culprit that you are still not married: in the old days they believed that a girl who cultivates ivy, forever remain an old maid.
Not the first year you have been married, so you are looking at your beautiful ivy with tenderness? Alas, here he is cunning - he can drive your spouse out of the house! However, to believe in it or not, it's up to you.

May 23, 2013, 14:14Indoor flowers are one of the most important elements house interior. They help to create a cosiness in the house and give to your room individuality. However, everyone knows that not all flowers can be grown at home! Some flowers are poisonous, others can cause an unpleasant reaction in allergy sufferers or people with certain diseases, others are not recommended to be kept in an apartment according to Feng Shui or folk signs ... Let's figure it out: which flowers can not be kept at home?
Dieffenbachia. An indoor tree with large yellow-green leaves is very beautiful, but dangerous! Its juice is poisonous and can cause serious poisoning in a child who decides to taste the leaf. Also, you yourself can burn yourself with the juice of this plant if you cut shoots or leaves from it.
Once it happened to me, a friend didn’t wash the knife well, after cutting this plant, I then cut off the sausage for myself with this knife when I ate, it felt like I was eating broken glass, then I was treated for another week. So whether it is worth starting such a plant at home, decide for yourself.
Philodendron. The leaves of this plant contain poisonous acids. If a child eats a leaf of this plant, he can also be seriously poisoned.
Oleander. The juice of this plant can cause blindness, and the scent of the flowers itself can cause dizziness.
Croton, as well as other euphorbias. Poisonous burning juice. Causes burns on contact with skin and death on contact with blood.
Stellera dwarf, Japanese rhodea. These plants also have dangerous juice. If a child accidentally swallows a piece of this plant, then the burning juice will cause swelling of the vocal cords, in worst case things can get numb.
Azalea (Sims' rhododendron). If you eat a leaf of this beautiful but dangerous plant, intestinal colic and convulsions will begin.
Tulip Gesner, bashful mimosa. In people who long time are in close contact with these plants, hair begins to fall out up to complete baldness.
invisible enemies.
It often happens that for no particular reason we begin to suffer from insomnia, dizziness, headache ... Or suddenly an allergy occurs, and we find ourselves completely at a loss: for what? In this case, you should take a closer look at the plants that are in your room. Maybe it's all about them...
lilies. At night, they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which can lead to morning headaches for no apparent reason. In addition, the strong aroma of lilies can cause insomnia. It is strongly not recommended to keep these flowers in the bedroom.
ferns. Just like lilies, they convert oxygen into carbon dioxide at night, which can cause headaches in the morning.
orchids. Their strong smell stimulates the nervous system and can also lead to insomnia.
Hydrangea. The particles emitted by this plant can cause allergic skin reactions.
Tuberose. It also emits particles that stimulate the sense of smell. People suffering from hypertension and other heart diseases, inhaling its aroma for a long time, feel discomfort, dizziness and depression may occur.
"Black cats" and other feng shui.
Also on the Internet you can hear a lot of recommendations from bioenergetics and feng shui experts about which plants are energy vampires, and which, on the contrary, energize, about which plants in which area of the house it is better to grow ...
There is one piece of advice on this subject. If you are practicing Feng Shui, do it seriously and understand this teaching in detail, and do not listen to the advice of "specialists" of unknown qualifications on the Internet.
So I won’t tell you anything about zones and energy, and in the end I’ll just name a few well-known folk beliefs about indoor plants that have nothing to do with Feng Shui.
Climbing plants like ivy they do not recommend keeping them at home, because, according to popular belief, then men will not linger in this house, and the hostess will not see a happy and long life in marriage.
cacti. Regarding them, there are several beliefs at once:
If you keep cacti at home, the husband will become a drunkard.
If you keep cacti in a girl's bedroom, the girl will not marry successfully, and indeed will be deprived of fans.
Cacti neutralize the harm caused by a computer monitor... However, this is more likely not even a belief, but a scientific myth that had nothing to do with the truth even when computer monitors really emitted harmful radiation. Now, in the vast majority of cases, liquid crystal monitors are used, which are completely safe for health.
Palm. Regarding this beautiful, large and unusual plant popular belief there is only one. If a palm tree was presented to you, then it cannot be brought into your house - this, according to legend, will be a great grief. Belief is silent about what should be done with a donated palm tree so that there is no great grief. But I suppose that if you don’t bring a palm tree into your house, but roll it on a scooter, then this will be quite enough.)) At least, positive emotions and the invaluable life experience gained in the process of "rolling" palm trees into your home will help you treat any grief in your life more philosophically in the future.
For example, before the war, met in every home, was considered a symbol of well-being family life, and after the war - turned into a "widow's flower". There are many such examples. Worth listening to folk wisdom, especially when we are talking about well-known plants.
Flowers to grow according to signs
There are many signs about indoor plants, some of them are puzzling. For example, it is believed that flowers will grow and bloom better if they are not bought in a store, but stolen, pinched off a branch from a beautiful, healthy bush.
To “soften” the sin, leave some coins for the mother plant.
If indoor flowers stably die at good care- this indicates the poor energy of the room or problems in the life of the owner. If a plant that stood in the house for a long time and died before reaching the allotted time for life, this Bad sign, a warning about a possible serious illness of one of the household members.
Some flowers absorb a lot of negativity and die, taking energy dirt with them.
For the office, the death of a flower in a pot is a harbinger of change in the company.
There are many beliefs about flowers that cannot be kept at home. According to folk signs, creepers, curly indoor flowers fall into the list of prohibited plants - they are considered "husbands".
It is undesirable to accept as a gift indoor flowers in pots. Together with the plant, the donor, perhaps, gets rid of his problems, betrays them. For each flower pot, give a nominal fee, then the “plant will decide” that it was bought, and the new owner does not need the hardships of the previous owner.
After listening to signs and superstitions about what flowers should not be kept in the house, do not rush to throw away pets. If, before receiving negative information, you did not experience discomfort from the neighborhood with a "green friend", rejoiced at its flowering, you can ignore the frightening warnings.
What flowers can be kept at home
The question of whether it is possible to keep a rose at home refers more to a Chinese beauty. About hibiscus or Chinese rose there are ominous signs. It is believed that the appearance of flowers on a plant is a signal of the imminent death of one of the household members or their loved ones. But with good care and positive energy, hibiscus can bloom. all year round, there will be no tragic consequences in this case.
It is recommended to keep in the house if the relationship between the spouses has “calmed down”. The flower will help bring back the faded passion. Positively minded people can safely acquire hibiscus. Positive interpretation of flowering plants:
- For a young couple - an addition to the family;
- For a girl of marriageable age - a quick wedding;
- For an aged lady - rejuvenation.
As for thorny plants (cacti, roses, wild roses), they can block positive energy and do nothing to create a pleasant atmosphere.
But signs about flowers in the house, on the contrary, recommend keeping a rose in the room of a young girl. The rosette helps to keep the chastity of the young lady, and attracts the groom to the young lady of marriageable age. In the couple's room, the queen of flowers harmonizes the relationship.
Home flowers not only delight their appearance, but also attract money luck. Among these plants:

- scindapsus;
- aucuba;
- bougainvillea;
For amplification magical power the selected plant should be placed in the southeastern part of the house, and well looked after.
When choosing a green "money magnet", pay attention to other properties of plants. For example, the creeper scindapsus falls into the list of flowers that cannot be kept in the house, it is considered a "husband".

Do you want to bring prosperity to your home? Plant a Crassula! This succulent with fleshy leaves is called money tree. Its oval leaves, falling off, dry out, acquire a silver tint, and become like coins. There are signs on how to properly plant a fat woman so that it accompanies monetary luck:

- Crassula must be planted in a red pot, in extreme cases, in a green or black pot.
- At the bottom of the pot with the plant during planting, put a few large coins.
If the succulent "deigns" to bloom, the owner can expect an improvement in his financial situation.

The pot with the flower should be disposed of or close attention should be paid to the ratio of income and expenses.
