What is the harm of the fat woman?
The question of whether it is possible to keep a fat woman is controversial. There is an opinion among the people that if the tree dies, then the family will face ruin and material decline.
The fat woman is the owner of feminine energy. Esotericists recommend keeping a flower with masculine energy in the house. This will help establish balance and prevent disharmony.
Flower growers also know that the plant is poisonous. You need to keep a tree at home correctly.
Money tree poison
Crassula is called the silent killer because the flower is poisonous - the leaves contain the chemical element Arsenicum (arsenic). The effect of poison on the human body can result in tragedy. But to do this you will have to eat the leaves of the indoor talisman. It is unlikely that this would occur to anyone. For safety reasons, it is recommended to keep the flower pot away from children and pets. Crassula should not be left in the public domain.
Crassula leaves have been found to contain arsenic
Even getting a small piece of leaf inside is dangerous. The risk of developing allergic reactions cannot be excluded. No chemical compounds are released into the air. There is no danger in this.
Magical properties of the flower
Magicians claim that the fat woman has magical properties. The appearance and condition of the tree indicates the state of the owner’s financial affairs:
- Death is evidence of ruin, bankruptcy.
- Illness, withering - unforeseen expenses, poverty.
- A healthy tree is a symbol of financial prosperity and wealth.
The fat woman is able to attract financial energy to the owner. The owner will not experience financial difficulties.
A diseased plant indicates material losses

How to plant correctly so that money appears
Monetary energy will enter the owner’s house only if the shoots are properly planted. It is important to comply with certain requirements:
- An adult plant is not replanted. You need a tree seedling or shoot.
- According to the signs, you need to steal a fat leaf from a wealthy family. Then the wealth will go to the “thief’s” house.
- When purchasing a sprout, you pay with coins.
- The pot should be red. You cannot save on capacity.
- Coins are placed at the bottom of the vessel. Only then fill the container with soil.
- It is necessary to monitor the growth of the plant and transplant it into a larger pot in time.
- When caring for (watering, dusting) the plant talisman, the owner must express desires for prosperity out loud.
- Decent care at home ensures the health of the flower. The death of the fat woman must not be allowed.
Any talk about poverty and poverty is prohibited near the fat woman. When making a profit, several bills are attached to the branches or trunk of a tree. It is better to do this with red ribbons.
Traditional medicine recipes with Crassula
For some ailments, indoor trees are used especially often. It is useful to learn the basic recipes in order to use the fleshy leaves correctly and without harm to the body.
Treatment of hemorrhoids
For cracks in the anus or hemorrhoids, homemade ointment will be extremely useful. Fresh juice, squeezed from the fleshy leaves of a small tree, is added to regular Vaseline, soaked in a tampon and inserted into the anus.
It is recommended to repeat the treatment twice a day. Crassula quickly relieves inflammation and promotes the resorption of nodes.
Cold drops
For nasal congestion, you can make useful homemade drops using Crassula juice. To do this, the juice is diluted with water (there should be twice as much water), put into a pipette and 1 drop is instilled into each nostril every hour.
If you have a long runny nose, which threatens to become chronic, you can do rinsing. To do this, the juice squeezed from 5 leaves of the tree must be mixed with 3 large spoons of water - and thoroughly rinse the nose three times a day.
For varicose veins
To cope with varicose veins, you can prepare a useful tincture with alcohol. To do this, 6 leaves of the money tree are placed in a small glass container and poured with a glass of alcohol or vodka. The product is infused in the dark for 14 - 20 days, and then applied externally - lubricated and gently rubbed on the affected areas.
You can gargle your throat and mouth with healthy fatty juice for colds and dental ailments. To do this, dilute the juice of 10 leaves in a glass of warm, clean water and use a rinse 3 or 4 times a day.
The properties of money tree leaves relieve inflammation and reduce pain. For rheumatism or arthritis, bruises and sprains, you can make compresses. Several green leaves of the fat plant are crushed to obtain pulp, applied to the affected area, covered with a cloth or cotton pad and fixed with a bandage for 2 hours. You can make such useful compresses up to 3 times a day.
For nail fungus
You can get rid of the fungus using home remedies - the beneficial properties of the money tree will have a pronounced effect in the fight against an unpleasant disease. Treatment is carried out as follows:
- First, the feet or fingers are steamed in hot water with the addition of soap or soda to soften the nails;
- then, using scissors or a blade, remove dead layers from the nail - very carefully so as not to harm the tissues;
- Money tree leaves, carefully peeled from the top layer of skin, are applied with the pulp to the affected nail and secured with a bandage or plaster.
The compress is left overnight, and in the morning is removed, the nails are steamed again and the affected areas are lubricated with a pharmaceutical anti-fungal ointment.
Since money tree effectively fights inflammation and infections, its properties can be used to treat bladder ailments and cystitis. Several leaves of Crassula are poured with boiling water, kept for an hour, and then drunk in the amount of 1 large spoon an hour before meals - in the morning and in the evenings.
Advice! You need to continue treatment for at least 10 days, but taking the infusion longer is also not recommended - if the dosage is exceeded, the fatty acid causes harm to the body rather than benefit.
For herpes on the lips
Herpes, or “cold” on the lips, is a very unpleasant disease that periodically affects the vast majority of people. You can cure herpes quickly using the beneficial properties of the money tree.
All that is necessary is to grind a few leaves by hand or using a blender, squeeze out the pure juice through gauze and apply it to the inflammation on the lips several times a day. Herpes will go away in a few days, and the skin will quickly restore its healthy state.
The properties of the money tree are very useful in the summer, as they are good against mosquito bites. Itchy areas should be lubricated with juice 6 times a day - the fatty acid will eliminate discomfort and relieve slight swelling at the site of the bite.
The antiseptic properties of the fat plant make it a good assistant in the fight against wounds, burns and bruises. The leaves are crushed to a pulp, applied to gauze, bandage or cotton pad, and then applied to the affected area and fixed on top. You need to keep the useful compress for 4 hours, after which the bandage is changed.
Why does a tree bloom?
Crassula rarely blooms. The inflorescences are pale, collected from small flowers of 6 petals. The owners of flowering trees sincerely rejoice at their luck. They will have a rare opportunity to make a secret wish. It will certainly come true.
Blooming Crassula is a symbol of sudden enrichment.
Magicians say that flowering is a symbol of imminent wealth. The owner of a plant talisman will soon receive a large profit, an inheritance. Money seems to fall from heaven. The enrichment will be unexpected.
In order for the tree to bloom, you need to provide proper care: water and feed on time.
At home, the fat woman can grow up to 1.5 meters. The owner should take care of a suitable container.
Magical properties of the flower
It is believed that Crassula, as the Crassula is also called, is capable of opening money channels. To do this, the plant needs good care so that its leaves are large and thick. Then, in gratitude, the money tree will bring prosperity to its owners, improve financial flows, and harmonize the surrounding space.
If a person does not bother with care, the leaves of the succulent become smaller and the tree withers. Then the owner will face ruin and other troubles.
Why is the Crassula called the money tree?
In the east, a houseplant is considered a symbol of financial stability. It was named the money tree for its characteristic leaf shape, reminiscent of coins. The tree is a succulent. It is capable of accumulating moisture. Therefore, it can survive a long drought without consequences.
The plant propagates easily. A small shoot or leaf easily takes root even in unfavorable conditions. This ability is also a symbol of enrichment. From a small capital with little effort a solid fortune grows.

What does a plant mean in Feng Shui?
This is a strong money talisman. It relieves the owner from poverty and attracts money to the house.
A Chinese legend says that you need to shake the tree, and it will give the owner a “harvest” - coins.
Also, an indoor amulet restores strength and relieves fatigue. You just need to be nearby and the energy will fill the owner again. Things will go uphill, he will make the right decision.
A figurine of a dragon is often placed between the branches or a figurine in the form of an owl is installed. Additional elements are responsible for the owner’s thrift and economy. They will protect the owner from thoughtless, wasteful spending.
Three red lanterns are also installed near the flower. This is a guarantee of a powerful magical effect on the life of the owner of the talisman.
It is allowed to keep an artificial tree in the house. It can be made of metals or natural stones. The figure is also placed in the southeastern part of the apartment.
What rituals are there to attract money?
- To improve well-being, you need to talk to a tree. On the new moon, on the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, you need to sum up the results for the period since the last “report”, add up income and expenses;
- In order for there to be prosperity in the house, you need to bury three coins of any denomination in the ground where the money tree grows, decorate the trunk and leaves with coins (you can use decorative ones).
Some people advise hanging banknotes on the trunk and leaves. In this case, the bills should initially be of small denomination. After some time, they need to be replaced with money of greater value, and the withdrawn money must be spent on some useless desire for the soul.
To attract a rich groom, a girl must undress at midnight. Then light seven candles next to the money plant, alternating white and black. Then say seven times:
“Like the trunk of a tree is thick, so my husband will be rich. As the tree grows and blooms, my husband will pamper me.”
The candles must burn out on their own; they cannot be extinguished. Next, you need to carefully care for the money tree. If it blooms, the girl will soon marry a wealthy man, and if it dies, she will live in poverty.
What does it mean if the fat woman died
Why the flower died is a separate question. What is more important is what consequences the owner of the fat woman faces. Signs speak of imminent poverty and ruin.
To avoid consequences, monitor the condition of the flower. If you notice that the plant is drying out or withering, take preventive measures. Make sure that the roots have not rotted, transplant into a large container, provide watering and fertilizing.
Timely steps taken to care for a sick tree will save it from death and the owner from poverty.
House Placement
The money tree is a very common indoor plant in Russia. The most popular species among the many representatives of the Crassulaceae family is Crasulla. An ornamental plant can often be seen in offices. Employees strive to enrich the meager interior of their workplace with a splash of greenery. In this connection, the question often arises: is the plant suitable for the home?
The answer suggests itself if you take a closer look at the shelves and window sills of amateur flower growers, where Crassula flaunts among other flowers. This is a very unpretentious plant and caring for it is not difficult, so it can often be seen even in a bachelor’s apartment.
It is believed that a money tree is even useful to keep at home because it:
- perfectly purifies the air;
- suitable for breeding for allergy sufferers;
- some craftsmen have even adapted to using crassula as a medicine, applying the leaves to wounds and burns.
Reference! The most important reason for the popularity of the fat woman is the superstitions and signs associated with it. It is believed that the plant has the ability to influence the energy in the house - that is, fight negativity and attract good luck.
The fat tree received its second name “money tree” for its appearance - leaves resembling coins became a symbol of monetary well-being. Read about signs and superstitions associated with trees in a separate article. In an effort to use the unusual qualities of the plant, naive housewives tie bills and coins to the branches of the flower.
There are a lot of different money tree rituals , the implementation of which, according to Feng Shui fans, will help to activate financial flows.
For example, by wiping the leaves of the crassula from dust, you can count them or bury a couple of coins in the ground.
If we omit all kinds of prejudices and superstitions, then the money tree is, without a doubt, a useful plant.
The only reason why you can’t get a fat plant is if there are curious little children in the house who might accidentally taste the plump leaves, which could very well be poisonous.
Where should the flower be?
The flower loves the sun, but is afraid of direct rays. The fat woman can get burned and die.
Experienced flower growers recommend installing a bedside table near the window on the south side of the house. And put the money talisman on the stand.
The window should be curtained with a light tulle curtain. The room must be ventilated, but there should be no drafts.
The money tree should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Crassula loves warmth. She is originally from South Africa. The owner should make sure that the room where the financial talisman is located has the required temperature. It is 23-27 degrees.
Features of caring for a fat woman
Although the fat plant is an unpretentious crop, there are a number of features that must be taken into account:
- Crassula tolerates lack of moisture well; watering should be done once every 2-3 weeks;
- Rubbing the leaves has a beneficial effect on the health of the money tree;
- It is recommended to fertilize regularly. But this should be done only in the warm season (spring - early autumn); in winter it is better to stop. Fertilizers for cacti, as well as calcium- and phosphorus-containing fertilizers, are suitable as fertilizing;
- Arranging a support if the tree loses its usual shape.
Money tree in the bedroom
A flower is placed in the bedroom if the room is sufficiently lit. The fat woman does not tolerate darkness.
It is believed that the magical plant can replenish the strength of its owners during night sleep. In the morning they will feel cheerful and energetic.
Crassula has the ability to disinfect the air. A representative of the Crassula genus kills pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, we can talk about the healing properties of the plant. The presence of a flower next to a person will have a beneficial effect.
Introduction
The Krasulla plant, unknown to anyone, will immediately become familiar and familiar if you call it Crassula or Money Tree.
Despite its African origin, the flower is very fond of domestic flower growers and is everywhere displayed on the windowsills of residential apartments and offices.
Unlike most of its brethren, the fat plant is not just beautiful; many believe that its coin-like leaves can influence material well-being.
Is it possible to give or receive a Crassula as a gift?
A money tree with banknotes will be a good gift for newlyweds.
The tree is given as a wedding gift. The symbol of prosperity is tied with a scarlet ribbon and given to a young family. The talisman will ensure prosperity for the couple and relieve poverty and poverty.
It is acceptable to tie banknotes to a gift. Thus, the newlyweds will receive not only a talisman, but also real financial assistance.
When accepting a fat woman as a gift, it is better to pay with coins. Even a few metal coins are enough.
How can it be dangerous for a person?
How can money tree sap get into the body? It turns out that traditional medicine actively uses all the components of the plant to treat an extensive list of diseases.
If earlier official medicine was calm about such therapy, now the juice of the bush is contraindicated for use or is extremely limited.
The reason for this is the same arsenic, which even in small concentrations can cause harm, since it is not eliminated from the body for a long time, but, on the contrary, accumulates in internal systems. It is dangerous not only to take the medicine internally, but also to use it externally.
What consequences may arise for a person:
- poisoning, which manifests itself as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, headache, stomach cramps, thirst and a garlic “smell” from the mouth;
- with severe intoxication, damage to internal systems occurs, problems such as: a sharp drop in blood pressure;
- slow heart rate;
- hallucinations;
- mental disorders;
- difficulty breathing;
- swelling of the larynx;
- disturbances in the functioning of the lungs;
- gastric internal bleeding;
- the development of diseases such as jaundice and hepatitis;
- blockage of the kidney tubules;
- anemia, as the level of hemoglobin in the blood sharply decreases;
- pericarditis and myocarditis - damage to the heart muscle;
- burn of the larynx, gastrointestinal tract;
- paralysis;
If self-medication is not stopped in a timely manner, this will lead to the death of a person.
Small children can independently pick a beautiful juicy leaf and pull it into their mouth. It is strongly recommended to place the pots with the plant as high as possible to completely prevent the child from coming into contact with the Crassula.
Can I give it to other people or just throw it away?
Sometimes owners are forced to get rid of their plant pet. The reasons can be very different:
- moving;
- employment;
- frequent departures;
- diseases.
There is no point in throwing away the flower. Thank the money symbol for the help provided and give it to the new owners. They must pay for the gift with coins.
If the tree has become old, it can be thrown away. But before that, the talisman must be thanked for its work.
New owners should remember that an adult plant will not bring wealth. It will only serve as an interior item for landscaping the apartment.
Is it possible to give only shoots?
The shoots are given away only if they were originally intended for sale.
If you want to give a gift, it is better to plant a sprout and grow a young tree. Take care of this in advance.
You cannot give the shoots from your home talisman into the wrong hands. It is allowed to give only to close and trusted people.
Growing shoots at home
The fat woman will become not only a suitable talisman and amulet against poverty and ruin, but also a medicine that will help in emergency situations. It is important to follow the rules for the care and maintenance of the money amulet. Then there will be no health risk. Owners should remember that magical properties will only appear with hard work and effort. Dollar Tree doesn't like lazy people.
Possible harm
Under natural conditions, the fat plant is a succulent plant - that is, it is able to survive in dry climates and accumulate water and trace elements in the leaves. If the soil in which the plant grows is rich in arsenic, the leaves will become poisonous. Some even believe that it is harmful to humans. Read more about this, as well as the benefits of the plant, in a separate article.
Of course, this is not very relevant for homemade crassula growing in safe purchased soil, but it’s still not worth the risk and there’s probably no need to keep a money tree in a house where there are small children. This is the main objective reason why you should be wary of the money tree.
If there are no children in the house, then adults should know that no evaporation of arsenic (if by some miracle it ended up in the leaves) does not occur into the air.
The danger arises only when the plant is ingested. In addition to children, overly curious pets can do this.
Therefore, in order to avoid possible troubles in the form of vomiting, diarrhea or poisoning, you need to grow a money tree in an inaccessible place, for example, on a balcony or the highest shelf. There, even with a strong desire to taste it, no one will be able to get it.
Important! Although this plant is hypoallergenic, people who are predisposed to various types of allergies should not grow it.
There are other reasons why it is not recommended to keep a fat cat at home. They concern mainly those who believe not only in good, but also in bad omens:
- If any plant is not cared for and watered, it will inevitably die. But when something like this happens to a fat woman, the event will be regarded as a hint of an approaching financial collapse.
- Experts who are particularly experienced in matters of subtle matters claim that the money tree is a female plant and in a house where mostly women live, the plant will die and, in addition to this, will reward the housewives with a bad mood and lethargy.
These and similar superstitions have no scientific confirmation. It’s up to everyone to believe it or not. However, it is hardly worth avoiding a truly useful plant, being under the influence of a peculiar modern folklore.
