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 for decorative purposes, forgetting that green friends can be good for our health if we choose them 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.
- Around us there are many objects 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 electromagnetic radiation also absorbed by our green pets.
- IN winter period heating radiators dry out the air in the room, which is bad for the skin and health in general. 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 various reasons.
For example, chlorophytum absorbs up to 80% of harmful substances, thereby 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.

An upstart flower, why can't it be kept at home?
Zephyranthes(upstart) - flowering plant, growing in the tropical regions of America, Argentina, Chile and Patagonia. It received its first name from Greek god warm wind Zephyr, the second is the rain lily, as it blooms in the rainy season. And one more name - upstart, zephyranthes received for the unusual property to bloom instantly and unexpectedly, as if jumping out.
This is a very delicate representative of flowering, outwardly similar to a snowdrop. They like to put it on the windowsills of the hostess, but some experts argue that this cannot be done and there are several reasons for this:
- It is considered conditionally harmful, as it can sometimes cause discomfort if ingested. Therefore, if there are children or living creatures nearby, it is better to abandon this idea for a while;
- Another reason is Feng Shui. He claims that representatives of the flora with pointed leaves carry bad energy; round-shaped plants are better suited for home well-being.
These are perhaps the only claims to the rain lily. In addition, Feng Shui fans know that she also has a lot of positive qualities.
Since the "upstart" is the bearer of the masculine, put it in the southwestern or southeastern sector of the room, and it will give good luck in business and career.
What plants can be kept?
It seems that all indoor plants are somehow dangerous, but how to decorate your home? Lots of options:
- Aloe- the most popular friend of all housewives, it is incredibly useful and treats almost everything, it is not whimsical in care, it can not be watered for a long time;
- Pelargonium or as we are more accustomed to - geranium, although they are different representatives. It does not emit a very pleasant aroma on the first impression, but it blooms very beautifully. In addition, it is useful - it perfectly cleans the air, drives away insects. And for those who believe in omens, she brings children and family well-being;
- room lemon Tree - looks great, pleases the eye with bright fruits, plus it is useful, and not only the fruits, but also the leaves, because they secrete essential oils. Where you put it, the air will be fresher, your head will stop hurting, and your sleep will become sound;
- It’s good to put a room in the nursery begonia, it is able to suppress the reproduction of staphylococcus and streptococcus, purify the air, and retain dust.
Important when decorating a room comply with the measure- do not put many pots in one room, during wet ground fungi grow rapidly.
Why can't you keep artificial flowers at home?
People often do not put at home artificial flowers. It would seem that they do not need care, they are not poisonous, some of them are so beautiful.
Case in superstition, nothing more. There are a number of signs by which you are expected:
- Quarrels and scandals;
- Theft;
- Illness and death;
- Problems at work;
- And even prison.
Allegedly, this will happen if you start plastic plants at home. In addition, we are used to the fact that these are mainly carried to the cemetery, where they are by the way - they do not fade, you can not change them for a long time.
But the point is prejudices, you can easily decorate an apartment with papier-mâché or plastic products, if you are not superstitious.
Or is there another option - herbarium. You can assemble it with your own hands, and the most wonderful thing is that there are no limits for imagination and every time you can make new bouquets.
Why can't you give an even number of flowers?
Everyone knows this sign - when we go to a birthday party or when a young man wants to please a girl, he gives 3 or 5 roses, because don't give an even number. But why?
This belief has come to us since the time of the Magi, they taught that an even number is a sign of a completed cycle, that is, life. Odd, on the contrary, worked like a talisman, people gave things in an odd amount to attract good luck to a person, to preserve his well-being.
Therefore, we carry 6 carnations for a funeral, and a different amount for a holiday, for example:
- 1 flower - a sign of attention;
- 3 - respect and reverence;
- 5 - recognition;
- 7 - as a sign of passion and love;
- 9 - from husband to wife.
But this applies only to our country, in other states they easily give 6 and 12 pieces, for example, in the USA or Germany.
We hope that now it will be easier for you to pick up indoor plants, because you know which flowers cannot be kept at home and why, and which ones can. You will also be able to get some poisonous specimens, but you will now treat them with caution.
Video about useful and harmful indoor flowers
In this video, florist Anna Lopatina will tell you which flowers can be harmful and even dangerous for humans:
Most likely, you know that the cultivation of climbing flowers and vines, in some way, prevents living with a man under the same roof. These plants include: ivy, tradescantia, epipremnum, golden mustache, however, even here there are some nuances and interesting points. Let's try to figure it out what flowers can not be kept at home and why.
What plants can not be kept at home and why?
Based on the rules and technologies of the teachings of Feng Shui, actually liana-shaped, ivy, and other loaches are able to secure a home. Reflect negative energy, drive away the negative in the form of poisonous sha-qi arrows, which always go in one direction and are emitted by objects in the apartment. Another possibility of curly helpers is to compensate for unwanted energy in the form of a “veil” of your home.
Although from the point of view of science, loaches contribute to air purification. Apparently, one should not be so categorical about climbing plants. Although, now you know why you can not keep climbing plants at home.
It is not known where the distrust of tradescantia came from, a beautiful and fairly common plant that supposedly “drives away” the male sex, but it also symbolizes prosperity and well-being.
The flower has an incredibly sensitive energy, it is susceptible to any changes in the house, such a green indicator that allows you to identify the presence of problems in the apartment or the unsatisfactory state, both emotional and physical, of family members. If a flower reveals such energy, it withers, withers, dries up, leaves lose vitality. If everything is fine in the house, you are provided with a charge of positive energy.
What pets should not be at home based on the teachings of Feng Shui?
According to the principles of ancient science, cacti are prohibited from being in the house. Many believe that finding poisonous flowers in the house is not safe, without having a Feng Shui consultant among your friends, it is impossible to get a clear answer.
The presence of cacti in the living room - a necessity or harm? There is no categorical prohibition on Feng Shui, however, you should be careful not to place "thorns" and their relatives near bedrooms, rest rooms and children's rooms. Talk about their predisposition (thanks to the thorns) contributing to scandals and squabbles, the ability to make a person aggressive and quick-tempered. But with regard to the office, kitchen, corridor - there are no such prohibitions, you can freely place prickly friends to reflect negative energy.
To date, scientists have confidently stated that the cactus has nothing to do with the absorption of negative, electromagnetic radiation (and not so long ago, every computer monitor always had a pot with a helper flower, and we sincerely believed that we were absolutely protected from any effect on the body ) that come from a television or computer screen. The presence of a cactus located in the office can help increase efficiency and brain activity, thereby extending the working day and increasing productivity.
However, if you are already married, are not superstitious, or do not want to get married in principle - definitely place cacti around the perimeter of the windowsill, because the same thorns contribute to the reflection of hostile energy.
Have you ever wondered why climbing plants should not be kept at home? If not, then we are in a hurry to tell you about it, but first we will explain where such a sign came from.
History of signs
- Since ancient times, people have been afraid of all kinds of plants that curl. They were not planted in their gardens, nor were they planted at home. These plants were afraid of what they climbing stems devils with Satan could get out of hell and one fateful night capture the owner of the house or his relatives, or cattle, and carry them away into eternal hell.
- They were afraid to approach these plants alone during the day, because ancient people believed that with its tenacious and winding branches, the plant would be able to grab someone and strangle.
- Since then, they began to be afraid of climbing plants at home and began to consider their appearance in their dwelling bad omen .
Why can't you breed houseplants 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 take a lot of positive energy into themselves, leaving one negative.
- Climbing plants in the bedroom of the spouses can bring discord in the relationship. From them, suspicions may arise from one of the spouses of the infidelity of the other, or the husband and wife simply lose interest in each other. The more climbing plants they have in the bedroom, the worse their relationship will be, and the sooner the divorce will come.
- It is extremely undesirable to put any climbing plants in the children's bedroom, because they will absorb all the health of the kids 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 because of a simple climbing houseplant.
- But in the hallway, a climbing plant can delay the bad thoughts of those who enter the house. Therefore, small indoor flower with curly stems you can put there.
What plants are climbers?
- The most famous of the climbing plants is Tradescantia. It has many varieties. There are tradescantia with small fluffy leaves that are painted green and purple. And there are tradescantias and just with smooth green leaves.
- There is also an indoor climbing plant called Cissus or, as the people call it, Birch. This plant is true with its leaves reminds me of a birch.
- Many people also plant Scindapsus in their apartment. This plant has yellow patches on the leaves.
Now you know why climbing plants should not be kept at home.
Why can't climbing plants be grown at home?
It is believed that it is undesirable to keep climbing plants such as ivy, birches at home, since there is a popular sign on this score that these plants seem to survive from men's houses, draw the energy of love from their owners and family life the hostess of such a flower garden will either not work out at all or will be unsuccessful.
I have only wild grapes on the shelf at home, they have been growing for many years and nothing, really there is a lot of dust to wipe on it. A friend has ivy, she also has a family like everyone else - a husband, children, it seems normal. In general, it’s better if you are in doubt, then it’s better not to start curly ones, get some other flowers about which there are no signs, so as not to embarrass.
This is who told you that creepers cannot be grown in the house. It’s very possible, but they are very weaving and there are a lot of leaves, you have to clean the dust once a week, but there are a lot of leaves! But on the other hand, the liana pleases us with green leaves all year round. For the holidays, we cling jewelry to her. So I don’t see anything wrong with Liana!
There is such a judgment that in a house where, for example, ivy grows, a man will walk, get confused, drink, and may generally go off to no one knows where - apparently, they are judged by the nature of the plant itself, braiding everything around and not knowing restrictions.
If we talk about energy, then these plants have it cold, so if passions boil regularly in the house, then weaving plants can slightly dampen them. But if the sun is already so cold, then it is 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 climbing plants will not let a man into the house. They are popularly called muzhegonami. She somehow even at one time got rid of all the climbing plants. Friends also have plants and men. So, it's up to you whether to believe in such a sign or not.
When purchasing another flower, we do not even know about some harmful properties indoor plants, and then suddenly notice emerging health problems. If they live in the house Small child or animals, then you need with increased attention consider the choice of indoor flowers and plants in order to protect their livelihoods. Some plant species contain poison in their sap or secrete harmful substances into oxygen.
In addition to plants that are not recommended to be kept at home, there are adverse effects on the human body of some flowers. In this case, you need to choose the right location for the future green resident, without placing him in the bedroom or, conversely, in the kitchen.
There are a lot of disputes and disagreements about dangerous plants in the house. All sayings are mixed with various signs that can eventually confuse a novice gardener.
In this article, we will look at plants that you need to be careful with and be aware of the likely consequences for the body and for energy.
