Beliefs based on the state of the flower

Dracaena is one of the plants that has a positive effect on the energy of the apartment. Based on its condition, you can clarify the effect of the sign.

In many folk tales, the appearance of buds on the “dragon tree” is considered great luck. The owners will experience success in professional activities or finances.

If she died

The worst sign is the death of a plant with proper care. What happened speaks of the damage imposed on the family. Dracaena absorbed negative energy and saved its owners from the influence of evil forces.

How to care for dracaena fringe

Transplantation and care after purchase

After acquisition, flower growers advise replanting the dracaena. This is explained by the fact that the transport soil is quickly depleted and does not dry out well. When transplanting, follow the following recommendations:

• Choose a pot for planting that is slightly larger than the one you had when purchasing.
• The root system is cleared of the old substrate only if the roots begin to mold or rot. Or when there are a lot of roots and they entwine the entire soil in the pot.
• Be sure to add new soil rich in minerals and nutrients to the planting container.
• Make holes in the flowerpot and provide a drainage layer - at least 3 cm in height.

After transplantation, the plant will adapt to the new location within 2-3 weeks. At this time, the root system is restored. It is recommended to feed the plant with Zircon.

What pot does Dracaena Marginata need?

Select a container for planting taking into account the size of the root system. The flowerpot should be 2–3 cm larger than the diameter of the roots - this is necessary for further free growth of the roots. If the pot is too cramped, the plant will have nowhere to take nutrients from and it will begin to dry out.

If the pot is too large, excess moisture will begin to stagnate in it. The roots will stop feeding and rotting will begin.

Give preference to ceramic pots - they remove moisture better and provide the rhizome with oxygen.

What kind of soil is needed?

You can purchase ready-made soil for dracaena. It consists of peat and coconut fiber, and sand or another drainage component is also added to it.

You can prepare the soil mixture yourself. Take the following components in equal parts:

• turf land;
• leaf soil;
• humus;
• peat;
• sand.

As a drainage layer, you can take broken brick, expanded clay or fine crushed stone.

Temperature for dracaena

Dracaena, like many other indoor plants, requires moderate temperatures. The minimum air temperature is +15 degrees. It is also not recommended to place a pot with a plant in a room that has warmed up above +28.

The plant will withstand temperatures below +15 degrees, but it will remain dormant.

At minimum air temperatures, watering should also be reduced to avoid disruptions in the development of dracaena.

Lighting

One of the important conditions for the development of a flower is proper lighting, because the process of photosynthesis depends on it.

Dracaena needs plenty of sunlight. But at the same time, protect the flower from direct sunlight. Leaf plates need diffused light. The flowerpot can be placed on a sunny windowsill, but at the same time cover the window with paper or mesh.

It is not recommended to place the plant in full shade. In case of poor natural light, you need to take care of artificial lighting - phytolamps are best suited.

Air humidity

Dry air negatively affects the condition of the leaf plates - their ends quickly dry out and curl. Dracaena needs well-humidified air - for this the plant is sprayed with a spray bottle (on hot days this should be done at least twice a day).

Comfortable place for a flower

The optimal place for dracaena is western or eastern window sills. If you placed the pot on the south side, from the beginning of May it is better to move the pot away from the window.

If all windows face north, take care of additional lighting.

Watering

Dracaena does not need to be watered often. In winter and autumn, one watering per week will be enough. During the period of active growth (spring and summer), the frequency of watering increases to twice every seven days.

Overly active moistening of the soil mixture leads to rotting of the root system. Make sure that the top layer of soil is dry before watering again.

Use settled water for irrigation at room temperature.

If you are going on vacation

To avoid drying out the soil during your absence, use store-bought or homemade automatic watering for indoor flowers. Or water the plant, and then wrap the flowerpot with wet newspaper or plastic. And spread sphagnum moss on top of the substrate.

Spraying

Do not forget that dracaena needs moist air. To ensure this, you need to spray the plant regularly. Also, to moisten the leaf plates, you need to regularly wash the flower in the shower at least twice a month.

Top dressing

Dracaena marginata is a plant from warm regions, so our soil is not suitable for it. This explains the need for regular feeding. Ready-made complex fertilizers are suitable. Sometimes you will need special fertilizers that are aimed at combating problems (for example, dull leaves or poor plant growth).

It is not recommended to fertilize dracaena immediately after transplantation - this will slow down the adaptation process.

Trimming and shaping

It is recommended not to pinch off the top of the dracaena, but to cut it with a knife. In this case, the cut cuttings are suitable for further planting. Pruning is carried out at a distance of 5–6 cm from the apical bud. Pruning tools must be treated with disinfectants.

The cut is sprinkled with charcoal or sulfur powder.

To stimulate the growth of side shoots, you need to trim off weak young shoots.

Winter care

Soil moisture during the cold period is reduced to once every seven days. If the earthen ball has not dried out well, watering is carried out even less frequently.

If the air temperature drops to +16 degrees or lower, you should stop watering.

Spraying is carried out, but just as rarely - once every 4-5 days.

From October to February, Dracaena needs good lighting - the flower pot can even be placed on the southern sides of the room.

There is no need to feed Dracaena Marginata during the dormant period.

Rejuvenation

Over time, the dracaena bush grows up to three meters in height, and the bare shoots become unattractive. To avoid this, the plant undergoes anti-aging pruning.

When a flower is pruned, new shoots are obtained for planting. The cut areas are sprinkled with ash or charcoal. The empty trunk needs to be dried - this will give rise to new side shoots.

After pruning, watering is reduced to protect the trunks from rotting.

If the side shoots do not grow, the trunk should be sprayed with Epin.

When does dracaena bloom?

This plant blooms at home extremely rarely. Dracaena Marginata is valued for its bold and bright leaf blades. Dracaena flowers are white, medium in size, and have a light, pleasant aroma.

Is it possible to keep a flower at home?

Dracaena is considered an excellent interior decoration. It is suitable for living rooms and office spaces.

In the bedroom

Fragrant dracaena is suitable for this room. But you can’t put it at the head of the bed. Otherwise, the strong aroma will interfere with sleep.

In the dining room

Here you can grow any variety of “dragon tree” that you grow yourself. Dracaenas do not harm their owners and reliably protect them from negativity.

In the living room

The whole family gathers here. “Dragon Tail” will come in handy in this room. The plant neutralizes quarrels, extinguishes conflicts, and improves communication between household members.

In other places

It is useful to grow dracaena in the kitchen to enhance cash flow. The plant neutralizes the aromas of cooking food here and gives peace of mind. In the hallway, a flower protects the house from uninvited guests and neutralizes negativity brought from the street.

According to feng shui

According to Chinese teachings, the “dragon’s tail” is considered to protect the house from evil spirits. It should be placed near the entrance to the house. According to Feng Shui, it is important how many stems a plant has:

• 3 escapes symbolize financial stability, family happiness
• 5 stems increase wealth
• 7 trunks protect health, accumulate positive energy
• 21 stems are very rare, such a plant brings wealth to its owners

Depending on its placement, an exotic flower affects different areas. To achieve fame and respect, you need to place a pot in the southern sector, in the north - to advance your career. The eastern part of the house is suitable for strengthening family ties. Western - improves health, develops intellectually. The southeast is suitable for enhancing cash flows. In the northwest, dracaena is placed before the trip.

Why is dracaena dangerous?

No scientific evidence of the danger of dracaena when maintaining a home has been found. There is no poisonous juice in it, all parts of the plant are absolutely harmless. A cat that has chewed dracaena leaves is in no danger at all; however, there will be no benefit either.

Dracaena is completely safe for cats

In addition to its excellent decorative qualities, this culture purifies indoor air, absorbing toxins and various harmful impurities, and also disinfects it, destroying pathogenic microorganisms that can cause intestinal disorders and pulmonary diseases.

It is best to place dracaena in the bedroom or living room

According to some reports, the active substances released by dracaena into the air strengthen the musculoskeletal system and promote the rapid healing of skin wounds.

Signs and superstitions associated with dracaena

The most common:

• attract love to the lonely;
• maintaining family well-being for those who are married;
• With constant contact with the plant, it improves mood and relieves depression;
• Protection of family members from negative external factors and family problems;
• Receiving an unexpected inheritance, a large sum of money (the sign refers to the case when a drakaena blooms in the house);
• giving roommates courage, determination and self-confidence;
• get rid of complexes.

Superstition says that wilted dracaena is a sign of illness in one of the family members. The sign says that the sooner the plant returns to normal, the sooner a family member will recover.

Superstitions about the influence of dracaena on a career

It is useful to keep dracaena in the office: according to omens, it helps the owner achieve his goals, develops perseverance, hard work and determination. For shy people, the flower saves them from doubts about their own importance, gives confidence and eloquence, helping them advance in their careers and defend their rights before bosses.

Dracaena Godsefa, among other things, improves thought processes.

The “dragonfly” is kept in offices for another reason: it is believed that it is capable of absorbing radiation from monitors no worse than a cactus. And the ability of a plant to saturate the air with antimicrobial substances is not a superstition, but a proven fact.

Family and atmosphere in the house

Drakaena appearing in a house has the following known omens and superstitions:

1. It is considered a good sign if the leaves have started to grow actively because it indicates a good relationship between all family members.
2. A situation in which the flower slowly disappears will show an unfavorable atmosphere that the plant has not been able to improve.
3. A quick death with the release of scarlet juice predicts the imminent death of a close relative.

Mental health

The pace of modern life causes greater stress in the psyche, and this, in turn, causes bursts of aggression or, conversely, apathy. If this happens, you should place the dragon next to the bed or next to your favorite chair. According to the omens, the flower helps:

• takes away nervousness, aggression;
• to overcome apathy;
• to energize;
• to take away a bad mood.

If you are feeling down and depressed, you should talk to the plant or just sit with it. This will give you new strength for life.

For lonely hearts

If you give dracaena to a young married couple, which is considered good form, then in the case of a single lady everything is not so simple - a proud friend can easily regard the gift as an unpleasant hint of interference in her personal life.

The fact is that, according to signs, dracaena attracts men to unmarried ladies. The main thing is to create comfort in the home, ensure love and happiness. It is believed that this “dragon”, given as a gift (and not stolen, as is recommended to do with flowers), will do an excellent job as a guardian of the house.

Therefore, before you give dracaena to an unmarried friend, think about whether she will be happy from your care. It is best to give her a seedling under some plausible pretext, for example, after replanting your own bush.

Bad omens and how to avoid them

There are negative superstitions even about such a peaceful and useful flower as dracaena. It is quite natural that they are associated with illness or death of the “tail of the dragon”.

1. Slow and gradual withering of leaves portends financial losses, illness of family members, separation from a loved one (not necessarily a break, a long unexpected separation caused by circumstances is possible).
2. The death of a potted palm augurs well for family breakdown or other similar events such as catastrophic financial losses.
3. We mentioned above that in some cases the dracaena juice turns red in the air. There is an opinion that “tears of blood” from drakaena foretell the death of a spouse or close relatives. Of course, the sign refers to a situation where no external damage is visible at the factory.

If the dracaena fades, it would be wrong to throw it in the trash: after all, it served you faithfully, and it is possible that it died right “in service,” protecting your family from negative influences. It is best to burn the dry stem: the energy of fire destroys all negativity. If it is not possible to burn the dracaena, then the signs advise: pick it up, take it from the house and bury it in the forest or in a deserted place.

However, don’t be too afraid of bad omens, because there is a sure way to cheat fate: a new, healthy, young shot of the “dragon’s tail” will become a faithful protector of your well-being.

Is it a flower?

Dracaena is considered a plant that attracts happiness, including marital happiness. So, by definition, this cannot be the reason for failure on the love front, but, on the contrary, it will help both men and women in their quest for great love.

Science's opinion on the properties of dracaenas

None of the Dracaena species cause allergies, but due to its sap it is considered to be of low toxicity. When it enters the body, digestive disorders develop: weakness, chills, diarrhea. Small children and pets are at risk. If they are present in the house, it is better to throw away the dracaena.

Dracaenas release oxygen into the room and purify the air. They are recommended for bedrooms and offices (Dracaenas are not vampires). They have been shown to neutralize radiation from computers and other devices and remove xylene, formaldehyde and ammonia.

For homes with chipboard furniture, laminate flooring or linoleum, this is a great option. In summer, antibacterial substances are synthesized to absorb harmful microorganisms.

Substances that make up dracaenas:

• strengthen the immune system;
• suppress bacteria, viruses and fungi;
• promote wound healing;
• strengthen muscle fibers;
• improve metabolism.

In Asia and Africa, the juice is used to treat diabetes, cancer, dermatitis, fungal infections and stomach ulcers.

How to avoid what is predicted in omens

Experts say that if the fragrant Dracaena blooms, it is a good omen. And if the plant suddenly begins to wither or cover itself with yellow-brown spots, superstitions say that this state of the flower is a direct indicator of bad luck and illness of family members, perhaps their imminent death. These superstitions negatively affect a person’s perception of the world, and he begins to look for ways to avoid problems.

You just need to follow simple care rules to protect your plant from dying. As soon as the first signs of poor health begin to appear, you should seek help from a specialist who can tell you what its owner is doing.

When caring for flowers, simply do not dehumidify the air in the room in which they are located, water them abundantly and maintain optimal temperature conditions. Drawing and using unfiltered water when watering plants are some of the most common causes of plant death.

If a flower cannot be “cured,” it does not need to be thrown away. According to omens and superstitions, the best way to destroy it is to burn it in a fire. The flame has cleansing properties, so it can “kill” the negativity emanating from the plant. If this option does not satisfy the owner of the “dead” flower, it is enough to take it away from home, preferably to a forest or park, and bury it in the ground.

Legends about dracaena

An ancient legend says that the flower appeared from the blood of a dragon when it fought with a huge elephant. This was the last mythical creature on earth. In ancient times, it was believed that it was not juice that flowed in dracaena, but dragon blood.

Another legend explains the origin of the flower with romantic feelings. The poor young man fell in love with a girl from the leader's family. The cruel ruler refused to give his daughter to a poor man. He stated that the wedding will take place when the dried stick sprouts. If this does not happen, the young man will die. The guy buried a staff in the ground and began to water it. After 4 days the sprouts sprouted. And then a lush pile of leaves appeared at the top. The love of the young people was called a divine gift and they were allowed to get married.

Problems and mistakes when growing

Leaf fall

If the lower leaves turn yellow and dry, there is no need to do anything - this is a natural process for Dracaena.

Overflow of water

In this case, you need to reduce the air humidity and place the plant in a sunny place.

Lack of water

Dry tips of the leaves will indicate this. You shouldn’t overwater the dracaena suddenly; you need to restore the water balance gradually. Water the plant more often, but in small volumes.

Hypothermia

At the same time, the leaves become soft and curl. To resuscitate a flower, you need to warm up the room.

The plant trunk became soft and wrinkled

Here the issue may be waterlogging of the soil or hypothermia of the air. Resuscitation measures are the same as in previous cases.

There are small brown spots on the leaves

This is due to the sun's rays. To avoid further staining, you need to hide the plant from direct sunlight.

Why do the tips of the leaves dry out?

Thus, dracaena signals dry air. To eliminate the problem, you need to spray the leaf plates more often.

Why do leaf blades turn black?

This indicates dry air. To humidify the air, it is recommended to spray the plant regularly.

Benefits and harms

There are many omens associated with this plant. But not all gardeners and people attach importance to them. List of the main positive omens associated with Drakaena:

1. Dracaena is a plant that combines two functions: an exotic and attractive appearance, and a flower that absorbs negative energy and releases positive energy, charging the residents or employees of the apartment with it.
2. According to esotericism, this flower helps to find the right solution in difficult life situations, restores balance, and orders thoughts.
3. Dracaena will free the owner’s house from disagreements in the family and protect it from external negative energy.
4. If a person touches his sheets with his palms, he will be charged with positive emotions, his mood will improve, depression and irritability will disappear.
5. Dracaena will help your body more easily tolerate temperature changes, including sudden changes.
6. This is a natural filter that cleans the house of harmful substances emitted by building materials, detergents and other compounds used daily by humans. The flower absorbs and processes them.

There is also a belief associated with the negative properties of the dragonfly. Florists involved in breeding and growing this indoor flower claim that it is quite jealous. According to them, dracaena may not take root well with male flower growers who have a strong character, because it has feminine energy.

When choosing this flower for your home, do not forget about its requirements, namely: quality and sufficient illumination, complete and timely watering, sufficient humidity. This is the only way it will grow and develop well. If all these requirements are met, then the dragon tree will definitely respond to care with all its magical and healing properties.

Dracaena is important for the home. The amazing properties of the plant will not only help you achieve good health, but will also attract prosperity in many areas.
