Folk signs

There are beliefs and superstitions, on the basis of which some housewives make a choice in favor of one or another plant for landscaping their apartment. Many signs do not have sufficient grounds to classify a flower as “harmful”. Cacti, sansevieria, mother-in-law's tongue, palm trees, and climbing plants have undeservedly fallen out of favor. Geraniums and ficuses are not recommended for growing at home, even if you are not allergic.

Folk signs:

curly ornamental plants prevent a woman from getting married, provoke infidelity. If ivy grows in an apartment, then household members lose optimism and become 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 birth of babies. If there is a flowerpot with a flower of this genus in the house, then you need to remove the plant from the home - and soon children will appear. There is an opposite belief: ficus in the house - to prosperity and addition to the family;
Sansevieria or “pike tongue” prevents the owners of the apartment from getting married. Popular beliefs are unfairly recorded beautiful flower with a delicate aroma to the list of green decor, which negatively affects the choice of a partner for family life;
cacti can turn a husband into a person suffering from addiction to alcoholic beverages. Another belief: thorny plant disrupts 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't 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 and take away vitality: achievements become small, insignificant, and the path to the top will be as slow as the growth of a dwarf tree;
the risk of loneliness increases if there are pots of mother-in-law's tongue on the windowsill. Long green leaves symbolize the long road along which future husband can unexpectedly leave the girl at any moment;
Dieffenbachia often takes away the health of family members and brings discord into the home;
Fern is an energy vampire. Beautiful plant with luxurious greenery - home decoration also fell out of favor. If the housewife is keen on growing ferns, then family members may feel inexplicable irritation, fatigue, and drowsiness.

To believe in omens or not? Is it worth buying flowers that, according to many, cannot be kept at home? Each case is individual. If the housewife 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 the woman to leave the flower in the house. There are many amateur gardeners who breed cacti. People are happy, enjoy their hobby, they don’t care about strange signs. You can place a cactus next to your computer to reduce the effect of radiation from the monitor screen and enjoy the pleasant flowering of the prickly “balls”.

Useful indoor plants

It is indoor plants that purify the air from harmful impurities, improve its quality, as well as the quality of life and health of people and animals living in the house.

For example, there will be half as many pathogenic microbes in the room if there is a flower pot with. Lianas, asparagus and Chinese rose. Some indoor flowers absorb heavy metals, while others reduce harm from electromagnetic radiation. Still others reduce the negative effect of synthetic materials.

Houseplants that can harm human health

And yet, there are plants that, if handled carelessly, can harm its owner.

That is, if there are many “female” flowers in the house, there is more feminine energy in the house, and it is already difficult for men to survive there. And vice versa. It's better to keep a 50/50 balance.
