Curly indoor plants signs. Dangerous neighborhood. What flower can not be kept at home

Glad to see you on the blog))

In late autumn, I want to add color to life and to the surrounding interior, and since it is easiest and most useful to do this with the help of indoor plants, the article today will be about them.

The history of growing plants at home goes back over 5,000 years, according to scientists.

Over the past time, the perception of indoor plants has changed, now we grow most of the flowers with decorative purpose, forgetting that green friends can be good for our health if chosen correctly.

In addition, well-chosen flowers will complement the most modest room, create comfort, enliven the atmosphere. They will delight the eye on winter evenings when it is cold and uncomfortable outside.

The positive effect of domestic plants on the human body is well studied and beyond doubt. Here are some "useful" examples:

Closed, unventilated rooms contain a fairly large amount of carbon dioxide. Plants take in CO2 and release oxygen into the air.
There are many objects around us made of toxic materials. All of them emit substances, to put it mildly, not useful for our body. For residents of megacities, simple ventilation will not help to get rid of odors and toxins, because outside the window is air saturated with exhaust gases and emissions from enterprises that contain fine dust, heavy metals, sulfur and other substances. Many plants are able to absorb substances harmful to humans, and many types of indoor plants release phytoncides into the air - substances that kill microbes.
Modern apartments are full of devices that emit electromagnetic radiation - computers, refrigerators, microwaves, TVs, hair dryers. Its prolonged exposure affects the well-being causing headaches, insomnia and fatigue. Part of the electromagnetic radiation is also absorbed by our green pets.
In winter, heating radiators dry out the air in the room, which is bad for the skin and overall health. Houseplants, on the contrary, moisturize it.
Many medicinal plants can be kept at home and used to treat wounds, burns, colds and other diseases.

It should be noted that flowers do not require as much care as animals. Caring for them can be entrusted even to a child who will learn to appreciate and cherish the beautiful.

When creating a corner of wildlife, it is worth taking a closer look at those plants that are especially useful for different reasons.

For example, chlorophytum absorbs up to 80% harmful substances thus purifying the air. It successfully fights moldy fungi and pathogenic bacteria.

Aloe is a home doctor. Helps with colds, headaches, treats inflammation and stops bleeding. Aloe juice is effective for the treatment of bronchi, stomach ulcers and gastritis, as well as tonsillitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis and many other diseases.

About what houseplants useful for the home, you can talk for a long time, general information you can read about what flowers must be in the house suitable for any room in the article.

Golden Scindapsus is a fast-growing vine that purifies the air well and is unpretentious enough to fit in the kitchen. Scindapsus will look beautiful as in hanging planter as well as kitchen cabinets.

Sansevieria, or mother-in-law's tongue, is so hardy that it can be kept directly near the stove. It tolerates a lack of light, partially compensated by artificial lighting.

Unfortunately, in one article it is not possible to present all the useful indoor plants for the home with a photo. Experiment, grow them, and you will see that the atmosphere in your home will change in better side 🙂

The article used materials from books and articles: "Encyclopedia of indoor plants" N.B. Sheshko, "Indoor plants: energy defenders or vampires" T. Pevnaya, “Healing houseplants” by phytotherapist N. Danikova, “Influence of houseplants on the health of schoolchildren” N.P. Medvedev.

Have you often wondered why electrical appliances break down in your house every now and then, household members walk around looking gloomy, and you yourself are always dissatisfied with something - and strive to run into another scandal. It’s all the fault of the negative moods in the air, which are often quite difficult to get rid of. Fortunately for us, there are wonderful helpers in this matter - those who have the ability to purify the energy at home.

One nuance: correct location flowers largely determines your future destiny. In addition to benefits, indoor plants can also cause harm. Feeding on your energy, some harmful flowers, on the contrary, provoke more aggression. That's why it's important to find out which plants can't be kept at home, and why, read below.

plant magic

Each plant is unique in its own way. It has certain properties, thanks to which its owner can find happiness in his personal life or become financially successful. But also do not underestimate the destructive energy of plants, especially if there are elderly people and children in the house. For most plants, these "targets" are often easier prey.

Among all home flowers, there are several main types of "pests":

Vampire plants that literally suck out energy, making you lethargic, withdrawn and weak-willed puppets of a negative mood.
Blockers that do not allow you to attract the desired luck in your life in search of a loved one.
Plants with negative energy - according to Feng Shui, most of these plants have pointed edges.
Plants whose energy does not coincide with the people living in a particular room.

Of course, it is impossible to imagine a house or office without greenery. In some corner, let there be some pot with a plant, by the appearance of which one can tell a lot about the owners of this house. For example, yellow leaves indicate that there is a sick person in the house. Sluggish foliage may indicate a house leaking energy or a buildup of negativity that homeowners have nowhere to vent.

The location of the plant also affects: many flowers cannot be placed in the bedroom, since their energy is designed for active people, and, conversely, active plants should not be placed in the bedroom.

If you are single, and violet grows in your house, do not even hope to find happiness in the near future. This plant is very harmful for singles. Although it has a very positive energy, especially if its color is lilac, it does not in any way contribute to kindling the fire of romance in a person’s chest, but only sets the union that has already taken place in a positive way.

Camellia has the same effect, the second name of this beautiful bud is “flower of loneliness”. It blocks the flow of sexual energy into your home.

For successful families who have a happy marriage, these flowers do not pose any threat, on the contrary, they will help strengthen bonds, like creepers, however, for singles who dream of a handsome prince, such flowers are blockers of incoming energy.

Instead of the plants described above, it is better to have beautiful, flowering houses. chinese roses. They are able to attract a wonderful companion into your life. This flower gives its owner bright and passionate novels, however, short-lived. It blooms for seven months of the year, constantly pleasing to the eye. Not without reason, among many peoples, hibiscus is considered the flower of true love. The plant radiates for the most part "male" energy, contrary to all beliefs, and therefore attracts men to itself.

Spathiphyllum, orchid and anthurium are three more beautiful plants that symbolize love. A single woman can put them in her bedroom and wait for changes in her life.

In no case should you keep climbing plants at home, they are your worst enemies. It is a pleasure to plant such plants from the outside of the house, in this case they will even serve as “blockers” and will not allow negativity to enter the house, but inside the room itself, the loaches simply fill the extra space.

Remember the following names:

It is not recommended to keep lilacs near your home, unless you have a direct connection with the other world and do not want to communicate with spirits daily. It is not for nothing that lilac grows near cemeteries. True, opinions still differ about this plant - lilac still has a wonderful fragrance and positive energy.

Most flowers can be both your helpers and pests. Be careful when choosing your home monitors.

Are you often nervous? Complex? Are you experiencing difficulties with self-esteem? A camellia planted in a pot will help you cope with loneliness and your complexes and also reveal your potential. However, for hyperactive people, it can be fatal.

Citrus plants have a negative effect in a physical sense: for people with hypertension and brain disorders, the strong smell of these fruits may not be to their liking. Keeping them in the bedroom or nursery is not best idea, in principle, however, a lemon or orange tree is perfect for a living room.

Choosing satellites for your energy

Now that you have enough knowledge about what plants can not be kept at home, and why, feel free to go to the store and choose your pets to your liking. The main criterion is not usefulness, but your sympathy for. Of course, you can talk about the benefits of aloe, sansevier, begonia endlessly, however, if you liked the orchid, why not buy it, taking care to have its other “neutralizers”. The main thing is to give plants care and love, and they will answer you the same. Don't forget to cut yellow leaves, water the flowers, and occasionally move the soil.

Folk omens

There are beliefs and superstitions, on the basis of which some housewives make a choice in favor of a particular plant for landscaping an apartment. Many signs do not have sufficient reason to classify a flower in the category of "harmful". Cacti, sansevieria, mother-in-law's tongue, palm trees, climbing plants undeservedly fell out of favor. Geraniums and ficuses are not recommended to start at home, even in the absence of allergies.

Folk signs:

curly ornamental plants prevent a woman from getting married, provoke betrayal. If ivy grows in the apartment, then the household loses optimism, becomes nervous. However, if ivy is planted on the outside of the house or on the balcony, then reliable protection from the "evil eye" is provided;
ficus can interfere with the appearance of babies. If there is a flowerpot with a flower of this kind in the house, then you need to remove the plant from the dwelling - and children will soon appear. There is an opposite belief: ficus in the house - to well-being and replenishment in the family;
sansevieria or "pike tongue" prevents the owners of the apartment from getting married or getting married. Popular beliefs undeservedly record beautiful flower with a delicate aroma in the list of green decor, which negatively affects the choice of a partner for family life;
cacti can turn a husband into a man suffering from an addiction to alcoholic beverages. Another belief: thorny plant disturbs the peace of mind of family members. If an unmarried girl keeps cacti at home, then it is more difficult for her to meet a reliable chosen one;
you can not keep bonsai at home. This sign seems strange: compositions from dwarf trees fit perfectly into the interior of the home Japanese style. Some people believe that bonsai interfere with career growth, take away vitality: achievements become small, insignificant, and the path to the top will be as slow as the growth of a bonsai;
the risk of loneliness increases if there are pots with mother-in-law's tongue on the windowsill. Long green leaves symbolize the long road along which future husband can at any moment unexpectedly leave the girl;
dieffenbachia often takes away health from family members, brings discord into the house;
fern is an energy vampire. A beautiful plant with luxurious greenery - the decoration of the home also fell out of favor. If the hostess is fond of breeding ferns, then family members may feel inexplicable irritation, fatigue, and drowsiness.

Believe in omens or not? Is it worth it to buy flowers that, according to many, cannot be kept at home? Each case is individual. If the hostess is sincerely convinced that “mother-in-law’s tongue” is to blame for quarrels with her husband or loneliness, then it is difficult to convince a woman to leave a flower in the house. There are many amateur flower growers involved in the cultivation of cacti. People are happy, enjoy their hobby, they do not care about strange signs. You can put a cactus next to the computer to reduce the effect of radiation from the monitor screen and enjoy the pleasant flowering of prickly "balls".

Video about what flowers are forbidden to grow in an apartment and why:

The selection of plants for decorating the interior should be approached with great responsibility, because they can have a significant impact not only on the general atmosphere in the house, but also on the health of family members. For example, poisonous indoor plants often cause allergic reactions, and some of them can even cause pet poisoning. Hydrangea, anthurium, rhododendron, ficus benjamin, cyclamen - this is not a complete list of flowers that should not be placed in a home. In this article, we will present to your attention a description of representatives of the flora dangerous to humans, and also give a few useful advice for their placement and care.

WITH scientific point of view, everything is quite simple: some indoor plants contain toxic substances that, when they get on skin covering or in the human body, cause severe poisoning and an allergic reaction. In addition, during flowering, their buds can exude a rather strong aroma that can cause migraines, dizziness or nausea. Fortunately, the number of neighbors so undesirable for humans is approximately 2% of the total number of domestic flowers known to botanists. So, let's get acquainted with each of them in more detail.

Unwanted neighbors for kids

Naturally, for every parent, the most important thing is the health of their beloved child. While playing, a child may inadvertently prick, injure himself or even eat a leaf of a flower he likes, so the choice should be approached with all seriousness and responsibility. Consider representatives of the flora, undesirable for placement in an apartment where there are small children.

Ficus. In its stem and leaves, it contains a huge amount of phytoncides, which volatilize through the pores of the plant. Such fumes are dangerous for babies, because, getting into the respiratory tract of crumbs, they cause allergies. Of course, not all babies are susceptible to this substance, but it’s better not to take risks and remove the flowerpot from the nursery. Particularly dangerous are such varieties as: ficus petiolaris and benjamin.

Ficus can contain poison both in the leaves and in the stem.

Cactus. One of the most popular plants among exotic lovers. So unusual flower should be placed out of the reach of children, as an inquisitive child will certainly want to make sure of the strength of his needles. It is worth noting that species with small spines, such as prickly pear, will cause even more trouble, because their glochidia will be quite difficult to remove from delicate children's skin.

Nightshade. Absolutely all representatives of this family contain solanine, which is the most powerful poison and affects both children and adults. The largest number substances are concentrated in bright berries that look quite appetizing. Red beads will definitely not go unnoticed, and the baby will certainly want to taste them. To prevent this from happening, put the flower in a place inaccessible to the crumbs or even remove it from the apartment.

Spurge. On this moment botanists know more than a thousand varieties of this lovely flower. It looks very impressive thanks to unusual leaves and colorful buds. A variety of varieties allow you to decorate and complement almost any interior. The triangular euphorbia will surprise with a combination of a powerful stem with many green spines, and the poinsettia will delight with its unusual variegated scarlet leaves. But remember that milkweed juice, which resembles thick white milk, can cause poisoning and allergies. If your skin develops a rash after coming into contact with the plant, seek medical attention immediately.

The danger of milkweed is poisoning and allergies

The milky juice of milkweed is especially dangerous.

Primrose. Its flowering is a true aesthetic pleasure, but experts do not recommend placing a flower in a nursery. The fact is that in its composition there is a large amount of alkaloids that cause dizziness, breathing problems and vomiting. In some cases, contact with primrose leaves leads to discomfort and hives.

Blooming primroses can cause dizziness and malaise in a child

In addition, it is worth remembering that children prefer active games and can easily knock over a flowerpot with a plant, so its size should not be very large.

As you might guess, growing such dangerous plants is not an easy task, so preparation is indispensable.

Dieffenbachia. Flower growers appreciate it for its excellent yellow-green leaves that form a lush crown. Dieffenbachia is often used to decorate spacious halls or living rooms, forgetting how dangerous its juice is. If your child or pet decides to taste the juicy foliage, the juice will enter the stomach and cause severe intoxication. Touching broken or cut stems is also strictly prohibited, because, getting on the skin, the juice causes burns and irritation.

Oleander is especially dangerous during flowering.

When working with such a poisonous flower, you should wear not only gloves and a respirator, but also goggles. This is a necessary measure, since if the juice splashes into the eyes, a person may become blind. Oleander blooms can also cause trouble, because its rich aroma often causes dizziness and nausea.

Croton. One of the representatives of the euphorbiaceae family, outwardly resembling a compact tree. Attracts attention with wide variegated lyre-shaped leaves. The tree-like croton looks very impressive, so it is not surprising that many designers use it to decorate the interiors of all kinds of hotels and restaurants.

Croton juice is extremely poisonous. Even a few drops can cause wounds and burns on the skin, and if toxins enter the bloodstream through a cut or while taking the plant as food, irreparable harm is done to the body. Carelessness can be fatal, so watering, fertilizing, propagating, replanting and trimming a variegated plant should be done with full protection of the skin and mucous surfaces.

Azalea (rhododendron). An unusually attractive flower, which has gained wide distribution thanks to lush buds. The most famous variety is Ledebour. A huge number of varieties will allow each grower to find the right color and grow a chic plant. Only one species is poisonous: Azalea Sims or Indian Azalea. If someone from the household accidentally swallows her stalk, then there is a high probability of colic and convulsions.

Mimosa is shy. Despite such a harmless name and bizarre appearance, a flower can affect people's health and even lead to extremely undesirable consequences. Its leaves look delicate and fragile, and when in contact with other objects, they neatly fold into a small tube. But prolonged contact with bashful mimosa can lead to hair loss. Sometimes, people attribute hair loss to a change in the seasons or a lack of vitamins, not suspecting that baldness is caused by exposure to harmful substances contained in the flower. That is why experts do not recommend planting mimosa in residential premises.

Ivy is evergreen. This is an ampelous representative of the Araliev family. It is a shrub plant, the stems of which fall beautifully from a hanging flowerpot. Bright color of leaves and unusual berries often attract the attention of pets who want to eat greens. Such a meal can lead to severe poisoning of your pet, because the plant is very poisonous. It is probably for this reason that climbing garden ivy is more popular than indoor ivy.

It is not surprising that such a beautiful view often misleads novice flower growers.

In addition, some representatives of the flora can cause discomfort even in people who have not previously had health complaints. Consider the list of prohibited flowers that doctors strongly recommend not to place in the apartments of allergy sufferers and asthmatics.

Pelargonium ivy. Many flower growers believe that pelargonium cannot cause an allergic reaction, since it does not have pollen. This is the most common misconception. The fact is that this flower emits a large amount essential oils, which can cause pain in one of the household members. Often, manifestations of allergy to pelargonium are confused with the first signs of SARS. Only a doctor will be able to determine the true cause of any symptoms, so it is best not to hesitate and make an appointment as soon as possible.

Before using one of these remedies, be sure to consult your doctor.

Alocasia can also cause allergies

Dracaena. It cannot be called an allergy causative agent, but some people may still experience a negative reaction to the flower. In the course of its life, dracaena releases various substances into the air, which can both benefit and cause a deterioration in the well-being of households.
