Indoor flowers decorate the house, bringing comfort and harmony into it. They purify the air and endlessly delight with lush greenery and blooming flowers. But there are plants that do not belong near people and pets. Which plants are best removed from the nursery and bedroom and which flower should never be kept at home?
What harm can indoor flowers cause?
Among the huge variety of indoor plants, there are those that gardeners avoid keeping in their homes. There are three main reasons for such dislike: folk signs, incredible difficulty in caring for, the desire to protect family members from poisonous plants.
Legends of deep antiquity
Since ancient times, people believed in the close relationship between the animal and plant worlds, and they continue to believe now. Psychics on TV, grannies at the entrance, and colleagues at work talk about which plants should not be kept at home, so as not to cause trouble. Anti-rating champion - cactus. The arguments against it are strong:
There will be no husband
If there is a husband, he will get drunk
There will be no money, happiness, passion and love
Yes, the only flower you can’t keep at home is this one. To justify the thorns, it can be argued that cacti help overcome shyness, improve sleep and absorb radiation from electrical appliances.
Can grow only among women, so it drives all men out of the house
Generates lies and mistrust in families
At night it sucks the energy out of people
Poor ivy, of course, is to blame, but you can’t drive a husband away from a good wife with a stick, let alone some flowers.
Bronze medalists - asparagus, ficus, cypress. Accused:
In vampirism
In bringing discord into strong families
That they bring trouble
According to another version, ficus helps women get pregnant, protects against poverty, and helps overcome stress.
Reasonably speaking, we can advise one thing: everyone should keep flowers at home that they really like. And the suspicious ones - throw them out!
Complete whims
There are flowers that you just need to stick in the ground and water once a week. There are others - real tyrants, subordinating the entire house to their schedule and rhythm. Which ones cannot be kept at home without providing them with ideal living conditions? Who are they, these beautiful sissies, whose care requires enormous dedication?

In winter, it must be kept at 15-18º, which is not very comfortable for the owners, especially with high (80%) humidity. Loves watering, but does not like stagnant water. By the way, only settled water will do!
Needs constant feeding and spraying. And even if you create all the conditions for it, in gratitude for the work done, it may dry out safely by winter.
Very difficult tropical beauty Vanda, one of the most beautiful orchids. Its motto is: “No sun - no flowers!”, however, from 11 to 15 o’clock it must be shaded so as not to burn the leaves. She needs differences in day and night temperatures, and not sharp, but gradual. If the air is colder than +20º, it will not bloom.
What flower cannot be kept at home for reasonable reasons? Any of the above. They are intended for the most experienced flower growers, true experts in their field.

Plants that bring trouble
However, it should be remembered that not all plants can only bring happiness; there are also those that are better not to grow in your home.

In an effort to make their home as cozy as possible, or to turn their apartment in the concrete jungle into a green oasis, women decorate their apartments with all kinds of plants and flowers. But not everyone knows that many of them are not recommended for breeding at home, and some are strictly prohibited. Such plants can poison pet, seriously harm a child or an adult. Some flowers are not recommended to be kept at home due to various superstitions. We will now tell you which flowers you can’t keep at home and which you can.
We will not be able to list all the dangers to humans houseplants, this is impossible because there are so many of them. Let's dwell on the most popular ones, those that ladies often grow in their homes without fear.
When we buy a flower, we imagine how organically it will look in our interior, how it will lavish its aroma and cause the envy of our girlfriends. But we don’t think about what damage a new green “friend” can cause.
Oleander - beautiful flower with large bright petals, but whose leaves contain poisonous juice. If this juice gets on human skin, it can cause allergic reactions and even burns. Moreover, the aroma of oleander can cause headaches, nausea and fainting.

Dieffenbachia - this plant can be found among many people; it is loved for its large, beautiful leaves, in the bright design of which all shades of green seem to merge. However, not all connoisseurs of the bright appearance of Dieffenbachia know that its juice can also cause burns. If the plant juice gets into the esophagus, severe burns and poisoning cannot be avoided. It is better to forget about this plant for families with small children and animals, especially cats.
.jpg)
Azalea is incredibly beautiful; large caps of its bright colors find fans from all parts of the world. However, azalea leaves contain the most dangerous substances, glycoside and andromedotoxin, contact with which for people and animals will lead to severe poisoning, nausea, and convulsions.
.jpg)
Cyclamen, beloved by many, is also on the list of flowers that cannot be grown at home. Cyclamen flowers look funny, attracting admiring glances from lovers of originality, but distract attention from the dangerous leaves. The leaves of the plant are very toxic, but its tubers are even more dangerous. They contain a poison similar in effect to curare, which if ingested by a person or animal will cause vomiting, diarrhea, severe cramps and even fainting.
.jpg)
Nightshade - bright flower with positive appearance and dangerous content. The plant is strewn with juicy fruits orange color, but you can’t eat them: they are very poisonous. Once ingested, nightshade fruits can cause serious poisoning. If it is not difficult for an adult to learn that the bright appearance of the fruit is just a lure, it will be difficult for a child to resist tasting the beautiful “berries”.
.jpg)
Trichocereus belongs to the cactus family, as evidenced by its bright appearance. Beautiful large flowers regularly bloom among the long needles white shade, which, moreover, smell very tasty. This aroma can cloud your consciousness, because the plant contains hallucinogenic and toxic substances that can cause paralysis of the central nervous system.
.jpg)
Geranium is a very common resident of our window sills. However, some people cannot keep these house flowers at home. Geranium leaves contain a lot essential oil, so it smells so strong that it can cause an allergic reaction. Many people are familiar with the characteristic smell of geranium, but, as a rule, the aroma is released only after the plant is touched.

Evergreen ivy very poisonous: hazardous substances found in the stems, leaves and berries of the plant. Cats will be especially affected: they are very attracted to the bright green leaves, which they are sure to try.
What kind of house flowers should not be kept at home due to signs and superstitions?
There are many superstitions associated with growing flowers at home. Whether to trust them or not is a personal matter for each person, but we will tell you which so-called “unlucky plants” are not recommended to be kept at home due to popular rumor.
Cacti - and not only Trichocereus, but folk signs should not be kept at home. There is a belief that in a house where cacti grow, the husband may become an alcoholic, and the girl will not be happy in her marriage. Or he will be completely left without a “other half”. It is also believed that cacti negatively affect relationships between family members.
What flowers cannot be grown at home? This is the second time Dieffenbachia has been included in the list; popular rumor attributes to it the ability to “take away” health from family members. Of course, it’s not for nothing that there is so much poison in it.
Sansevieria, or mother-in-law's tongue, is believed that these flowers should not be kept at home by an unmarried woman. The plant, which has practically no stem, but many, many elongated narrow leaves, does not allow men near the house. And if some daredevil gets in his way, his mother-in-law’s tongue will certainly “drive him out.” Therefore, if you grow such a plant on your windowsill, you can remain unmarried. And you certainly shouldn’t keep sansevieria in the bedroom; there is a belief that it negatively affects female strength. Should we believe or not such signs? Probably if you collect everything folk superstitions in one list, you will have to get rid of all the green inhabitants of the window sills. On the other hand, maybe it’s not for nothing that the flower has a “speaking” name?
.jpg)
What indoor flowers should not be kept at home? It’s not for nothing that the photo of the ficus was included here. This plant not only can cause allergic reactions, but also prevents the appearance of children in the house. In any case, it is believed that if you are planning a child, you must first get rid of the ficus. At a minimum, ficus should not be kept in the bedroom, otherwise it can harm the relationship of the spouses.
Maybe such rumors are spread by people with allergies to children? After all, there is also the exact opposite opinion: if you want a child, get a ficus. Supposedly it helps get rid of infertility and improves the climate in the family. This is another reason to think about whether you should trust folk signs at all.
Not everyone keeps ferns in their homes, but there are some who love them. And in vain. This is a kind of energy vampire that takes away a person’s vitality. It is believed that fern owners suffer from constant fatigue, they constantly want to sleep and do not want to be active.
On the list of indoor plants that cannot be kept at home, we again see geranium. This time, geranium was disqualified due to popular superstitions - it is also called an energy vampire, sucking the life juices out of family members.
What climbing flowers should you not keep at home? Indeed, there are several plants on this list. It is believed that if climbing plants are grown in the house, the husband will hide behind all the skirts. The man will be uncomfortable at home, he will try to escape. With climbing vine-like plants the situation is even more “interesting”: men will avoid such a house. Moreover, such flowers negatively affect a person’s state of mind, causing him to feel blue. Evergreen ivy is useful to keep outside rather than inside the house. Thus, it will protect the home from negativity.
Other climbing plants also “got it”: tradescantia, roisissus, hanging zebra and campelia, supposedly capable of “driving” a man out of the house.
What flowers should not be kept in the house according to Feng Shui?

The Asian practice of organizing space, of course, did not ignore such an interesting point as flowers in the house. Feng Shui “forbids” keeping at home not some varieties of flowers, but plants that are in a certain state.
Thus, it is believed that there is no place for dried flowers at home: they contribute to the drying out of feminine energy. Therefore, ladies who keep dried flowers in the house have nothing to hope for male attention.
If the flower, despite special care and care, fades, you need to get rid of it. It is believed to emit negative energy.
You need to choose flowers whose leaves “look” up; they will fill your home positive energy. Plants with leaves that trail downwards have no place in the house.
You should not have a flower with pointed leaves in your house; it is better to give preference to plants with rounded leaves. Allegedly, these plants will bring scandals and discord to the family.
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, flowers are divided into male and female. Women's: begonia, violet, crassula, cyclamen. Male: dracaena, chlorophytum, citrus. To have positive energy at home, it is necessary to grow both female and male flowers.
What flowers should an unmarried girl not keep at home?
Perhaps this topic is worth special mention, since most of the signs and superstitions associated with flowers relate specifically to marriage and childbirth.
- Lianas and liana-like flowers should be removed from the home by unmarried women. Otherwise you won't be able to get married
- For example, folk superstitions “prohibit” girls from keeping the monstera vine at home, otherwise they can doom themselves to celibacy. Of course, there are no proven facts of such monstera behavior, however, on the Internet you can find reviews from women who report that they managed to improve their personal life only after getting rid of the flower
- The cacti, which we have already talked about, also “turn away” potential suitors from the girl. It’s doubly offensive if you have to break up with your chosen one because of his attachment to drink, and not to the woman he loves.
- Mother-in-law's tongue that drives men out of the house
- Ficus preventing you from having offspring
- Climbing plants, otherwise the man will cheat regularly
What flowers can you keep at home?
.jpg)
Here is a list of plants that should bring happiness and prosperity to your home:
- Money tree - the name speaks for itself. It is better to plant it yourself, placing a coin on the bottom of the pot. But if the leaves money tree will dry out, you need to get rid of the flower
- Lemons increase activity
- Dracaena in the home promotes well-being and career growth
- The spitaphyllum flower should be placed at home for unmarried women. It will help you find your chosen one, and in established families it promotes peace and happiness
- Akucuba, or golden tree, will help you get rich, develop your talents and protect you from ill-wishers
Of course, you shouldn’t recklessly rely on these lists - which flowers you can keep at home and which you can’t. Whether it is worth urgently throwing away your many years of herbarium collection, or giving a ficus to your sworn friend, everyone decides for themselves.
If a person believes in omens, there is no need to grow, for example, ferns at home, this will at least have a negative impact on the subconscious. If you treat folk signs skeptically, without attaching importance to superstitions, then your husband is unlikely to become an alcoholic just because there are cacti on the windowsill.
Have you ever wondered why you can't keep climbing plants at home? If not, then we hasten to tell you about it, but first we’ll explain where this sign came from.
History of signs
- Since ancient times, people have been afraid of all kinds of climbing plants. They were not planted in their gardens, nor were they kept in their homes. These plants were afraid because, according to them, climbing stems Devils and Satan could get out of hell and one fateful night capture the owner of the house or his relatives, or livestock, and take them with them to eternal hell.
- They were afraid to approach these plants alone during the day, because the ancient people believed that the plant could grab someone and strangle someone with its tenacious and curly branches.
- Since then, they began to be afraid to have climbing plants at home and began to consider their appearance in their homes bad omen.
Why can't you grow indoor plants that climb?
- So why are climbing plants at home a bad omen? What is so bad they bring us? And the sign with climbing plants at home means that they absorb a lot of positive energy, leaving only negative energy.
- Climbing plants in a couple's bedroom can cause discord in a relationship. They may raise suspicions on the part of one of the spouses that the other is unfaithful, or the husband and wife may simply lose interest in each other. The more climbing plants they have in the bedroom, the worse their relationship will be, and the faster divorce will occur.
- It is highly undesirable to place any climbing plants in children’s bedrooms, because they will absorb all the children’s health into their long stems and many leaves. The child may have severe headaches or the immune system may be seriously compromised.
- If there is a climbing plant in the kitchen, then conflicts will constantly arise there and the family will not be happy. The neighbors of this family will hear swearing almost every day, and all this is because of a simple climbing indoor plant.

Why can't you grow climbing plants at home?

At home I only have wild grapes on a shelf, they have been growing for many years and nothing, I really wipe a lot of dust on them. A friend of mine has ivy, and her family is like everyone else - husband, children, it seems normal.

There is such a judgment that in a house where, for example, ivy grows, a man will walk, get confused, drink, and may generally wander into unknown places - apparently, they are judged by the nature of the plant itself, which entwines everything around and knows no restrictions.
If we talk about the energy of these plants, it is cold, so if passions regularly boil in the house, then climbing plants can slightly dampen them. But if it’s still cold, then it’s better to look for other flowers.
If you believe in omens, then there is one such that weaving plants at home lead to frequent quarrels and loneliness. I don’t know where this belief came from.
I also heard that all the climbing plants will not let a man into the house. They are popularly called muzhegons. Somehow I even got rid of all the climbing plants at one time. Friends have both plants and men. So, it’s up to you to decide whether to believe in such a sign or not.

Folk signs: what is possible, what is not?
To trust folk signs or not is a personal matter for everyone. It is worth remembering that most often signs arise on the basis of many years of observations of ancestors. Let's consider what the appearance of some indoor plants in the house entails:
After reading this article, you can find out which indoor plants bring misfortune to the house. Superstitions associated with them were formed over a long time under the influence of real incidents that happened to some people, and were passed on from generation to generation.
Despite the fact that most biologists treat such beliefs with sarcasm, whether you believe or not in their validity, you must decide for yourself, because even psychologists say that when choosing plants for your home, you should not be guided by superstitions, but trust your own feelings.
Don't forget that there are things that bring bad luck into your home for good reason - many of them are poisonous, and some cause severe allergic reactions.
Basic data
The main superstitions associated with indoor plants are based on their death. So, for example, if a plant dies, it is believed that it has warded off misfortune from the owner, and the opinion that stolen flowers take root better has ruined many beautiful plants, from which cuttings were separated without the consent of the owners.
Signs about the existence of things that bring misfortune to the house were formed only in relation to the most popular house plants. With regard to species that have recently appeared in flower shops, for example, orchids, they simply have not yet had time to earn a negative attitude towards themselves. At the same time, it is quite likely that in a few decades they will “grow” with their own signs.
Below are the most famous indoor plants that bring misfortune, the signs about which are often extremely contradictory.
Ivy
In the Middle Ages in Greece and Rome, ivy was not only a symbol of devotion, but also acted as one of the most common talismans for young girls. It was believed that it symbolizes not only the possibility of a successful marriage, but also allows the owner long time maintain youth and attractiveness. To do this, it was enough just to wear a sprig of ivy on the chest.
As for the present time, in the East they believe that it increases the vital energy of the owner, prolonging his life. At the same time, in post-Soviet territories there is an opinion that ordinary ivy, widespread in the southern regions, attracts misfortune to the house. In addition, it is not recommended to place it in the home of newlyweds, as it can also cause quarrels, as a result of which men leave their families.
Ficus
Even in pre-war times, ficus was considered one of the most pronounced symbols of well-being. It was believed that he attracted wealth to the family. That is why even the poorest segments of the population sought to obtain this plant. However, after the war, attitudes towards him changed radically. The opinion began to actively spread among the people that in those families where the men survived and returned from the war, there were no ficus trees.
Since people called it the “widow plant”, within a fairly short time it gained a bad reputation and most of the luxurious specimens of these plants were mercilessly destroyed.
Monstera
Monstera is a fast-growing vine with carved leaves. In China, it is customary to give it to respected elderly people, as it is believed that it can influence the increase in the number of days allotted to a person to live. Because of this sign, there she is considered a wonderful gift for almost any holiday. However, our people’s superstitions about keeping monsteras in the house are radically different from the Chinese. There is an opinion that this is one of the most dangerous vampire plants that absorb human energy, which is why people become lethargic and apathetic. In addition, it is not recommended to have it in families where there are people with heart disease or lung problems, since at night it can “strangle” a person.
But the monstera can be placed in public place where a lot of negative energy accumulates, for example, in court. There she will not only delight you with her appearance, but will also consume excess negative energy.
Fern
The opinion about the “mystical” fern plant, whose flower has been sought since ancient times on the night of Ivan Kupala, is quite contradictory. So, in some parts it is believed that if you bring a fern into your house, you will bring misfortune with it, and as long as the plant is in it, various misfortunes will be attracted to you. However, in other places it is believed that the fern, on the contrary, protects the family from the evil that other people do, and any evil spirits. It is believed that if a fern suddenly dries up, then it has taken upon itself damage directed against the owner of the home.
Violet
There is a common superstition that if kept in a house, the girl living in it will never be able to marry for love. In fact, this plant is considered a permanent reason why a girl may remain alone until old age. In addition, it is not recommended to keep violets in the house due to the fact that the female part of the family may develop various diseases of the reproductive system.
Cyperus
It is believed that this plant has such powerful energy that it easily suppresses the human biofield, having a powerful negative impact on the health of people who are in close proximity to it every day. People who have it at home often get seriously ill. Despite the fact that to date there is no scientific evidence this fact, if you still decide to have a cyperus in the house, be sure to listen to how you feel.
"Plants-husbands"
There are a large number of plants that should not be kept in the house from an emotional and psychological point of view. These indoor plants, which bring misfortune to the house, have received the name “husband plants” from people.
- Scindapsus is one of the most popular varieties tropical vines. It is believed that she not only brings quarrels into the house and is the culprit of divorce, but also “drives out” all men from the family, including even sons and grandchildren.
- Cissus, like scindapsus, belongs to the category of plants that have a direct impact on men leaving families. In addition, cissus is considered a real magnet for attracting misfortunes into the family.
- Hibiscus - it is not recommended for unmarried women to have it, as their personal life begins to deteriorate, and their lover may sooner or later leave for another.
- Hoya - it is believed that this plant can not only “drive” a man out of the house, but also drive him away from the world.
- Tradescantia - in the house where this plant is located, the marriage may soon collapse.
Signs associated with flower coloring
As a rule, signs associated with flowers do not foretell anything terrible. Often, flowers that bring misfortune to the house are also divided according to color. For example:
- White flowers symbolize purity and innocence. That is why there is a belief that it is better to give newlyweds flowers of this color for their wedding.
- Red flowers symbolize passion and love.
- Yellow flowers portend an imminent separation.
- It is customary to give blue flowers to loved ones, as they symbolize sincerity and kindness.
Conclusion

Even if you personally know people whose lives did not work out for some reason and in their house there were some of the plants listed in this article, this does not mean that the people suffered exactly from them negative influence.
