Since ancient times, indoor plants have been a decoration for the home and a delight for the eyes. By growing this or that flower in his home, a person is confident that his new “green friend” will have a positive impact on him and his life.
However, indoor plants, like all living things on our planet, have their own energy. Our ancestors noticed that when one or another flower appears in the house, both positive and negative changes can occur to the owner. This is where the division of indoor plants into those that bring prosperity into the house and those that bring misfortune with them came from. In our age of technological development, people continue to listen to ancient fairy tales and legends when deciding which home plant will help them.
Cyperus
It is believed that Cyperus has very strong energy that suppresses the human biofield.
The plant negatively affects the health of residents. Anyone who keeps Cyperus in his room usually gets sick a lot and often.
To date, there is no scientific evidence that the plant can cause illness in humans, but people continue to be afraid to have a flower in their home.
Beliefs
Beliefs that are dedicated to house flowers have been formed over the centuries. This was facilitated by events that happened to different people. Descriptions of these cases were passed down from ancestors to descendants.
When choosing home flowers, you should not rely on superstitions, but be guided by your personal feelings. Many plants are dangerous for completely everyday reasons:
- poisonous sap or leaves;
- allergens;
- thorns.
By the way, superstitions have formed mainly about popular plants. For example, there are no negative or positive rumors about orchids because they have only recently become widespread.
Mostly beliefs are associated with the withering of plants. For example, a dead flower means that it took away grief from its owner. Most people know that stolen plants take root better. But few people thought that the flower could die if the cuttings were separated incorrectly.
Monstera
Monstera is a plant with carved leaves. In China, it is customary to give Monstera to older people to increase the number of days they have left before death.
However, in Russia there is an opinion that this flower is a vampire plant that drinks human energy. It is strictly prohibited for families where people with heart and respiratory diseases live. People are afraid that Monstera will “strangle” them at night.
Scindapsus
Scindapsus is popularly called the muzhigon flower.
There is a belief that the vine can affect the relationship of spouses. Families in whose homes the plant lives often and loudly argue. As a result, eternal quarrels lead to divorce and the man leaves home.
Some superstitious ladies claim that scindapsus “drives out” not only husbands, but all males (grandchildren, sons, brothers, etc.) from the house.
Grandmother's signs
There are also a number of plants that, to one degree or another, are credited with having a negative effect when placed next to each other in a human home. Often, for some of them, it is no longer even possible to find the root cause of such an established opinion about these colors. In folk signs, as in other methods of determining “good” and “bad” plants, objectivity is also not always present.
“Human rumor” does not favor ivy, hibiscus, scindapsus, dieffenbachia. All of them are classified as so-called muzhegons.
Hibiscus
Hibiscus is called the flower of death because it blooms out of season. This phenomenon indicates an imminent death in the family.
Hibiscus is also not recommended for unmarried ladies, otherwise they will never meet their love. If a girl already has a boyfriend, then soon he may leave her and leave forever.
Fern
There are two completely opposite opinions about ferns.
In our country, people believe that along with a flower, troubles come to the house. While the fern lives in the family, it attracts difficulties and troubles into the house.
In other countries, people believe that the plant, on the contrary, brings happiness to the house.
Stellera dwarf
The plant is widespread in the Far East, Siberia and Transbaikalia, preferring mountain slopes and areas with rocky soil.
Stellera has a thick short stem covered with brown bark and developed numerous shoots. The leaves are long, lanceolate, with a pointed crown. The flowers are small, collected in capitate inflorescences located at the tops of the shoots. The petals are white and have a small red spot on the surface.
The rhizome and above-ground parts of the plant contain organic acids that cause numbness and swelling of the vocal cords.

Ivy
In ancient times, ivy was a symbol of devotion, as well as a talisman for all unmarried girls. Ivy helped ladies get married successfully and attracted wealthy and strong men.
Today in post-Soviet territories there is a widespread belief that ivy attracts only misfortunes to life. It is prohibited from being placed in apartments where newlyweds live. Otherwise, the newly made spouse may leave the family.
Violet
There is a well-known superstition according to which a young girl should not place a violet in her room. If she does this, she will never get married, or she will, but for convenience.
In addition, it is not recommended to keep violets in the house, so as not to expose the girl to diseases of the reproductive system.
What flowers should you not keep at home?
It is undesirable to place plants that are poisonous in apartments where there are children or pets, since they have a number of negative properties.
Aglaonema
Aglaonema opens the list - this is the most poisonous houseplant that can secrete poison. Even touching its flowers you will feel some irritation. Aglaonema is very dangerous if it enters the body internally - it affects the central nervous system and provokes nausea, headache and even fainting. You should be very careful with this flower.
Spurge
Euphorbia is definitely not a flower for happiness, since milkweed juice can burn the skin and cause severe swelling of the mucous membranes, including loss of vision.
Sims' rhododendron
Sims's rhododendron is a very poisonous flower; under no circumstances should it be allowed to enter the body. If this happens, call a doctor immediately, otherwise you may fall from convulsions and lose consciousness.
Dieffenbachia
Dieffenbachia is dangerous because of its juice. Children or animals should not be allowed near the flower, otherwise there is a high risk that they will try the Dieffenbachia stem. As a result of ingestion, the plant juice will provoke a strong gag reflex due to poisoning.
Monstera
Monstera is an energy vampire. According to popular belief, this flower sucks energy out of a person. Without noticing it, he begins to feel tired, apathetic, and health problems begin.
Sansevieria
Sansevieria, or “mother-in-law’s tongue” (as well as “pike tail”) sucks love out of the house and takes away female attractiveness. Unmarried girls may have their personal lives go wrong. For this reason, “mother-in-law’s tongue” cannot be kept in the house.
Primrose
Primrose is a beautiful name for an equally beautiful flower. Primrose is very toxic; it releases harmful substances into the atmosphere in large quantities, which affect the general condition of the body. Primrose leaves may cause skin irritation.
Christmas star
The Christmas star, or poinsettia, got its name due to the unusual shape of its leaves. This is a very beautiful plant that requires proper care. If the temperature regime and moderate air humidity are not observed, poinsettia absorbs oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide. A Christmas star is good to place in the office.
Pandanus
Pandanus cannot be kept in the house, as it is an energy vampire. Impressionable people with such a plant will feel uncomfortable, they will feel depressed, even to the point of nervous breakdown. In other cases, pandanus can be placed both at home and at work.
Wax ivy
Wax plant, or hoya, brings troubles and misfortunes to the house. It’s hard to say where this belief came from. However, according to signs, Hoya does not promise a successful marriage for girls, sons leave home, and the husband begins to cheat, which brings discord into the family.
We found out which plants should not be kept at home and why. The list is quite extensive, although incomplete. The question of whether it is possible to keep certain flowers at home always causes a lot of controversy. Yes, you can blindly trust signs and superstitions, but do not forget that they were also invented by people. How easy it is to blame your problems on these green plants without understanding why there is discord and quarrels in the house. Undoubtedly, some flowers are considered poisonous and you should protect your children and animals from them. But we recommend that you take a closer look at the rest - a flower will not be able to improve your personal life or solve health problems; the cause of the problems may lie much deeper.
Ficus
In pre-war times, ficus was considered a symbol of happiness and prosperity. Almost everyone tried to get their hands on this plant, as it was believed to attract wealth and prosperity into the home.
But after the war it turned out that there were never ficus trees in the houses to which the men returned from the front. From that time on, the flower began to be called the “widow plant.”
Of course, you can not believe in superstitions and signs and plant any plant at home. But why tempt fate and go against popular wisdom when there are so many other beautiful flowers in the world.
Indoor plants with friendly energy
Many plants can be called green friends. Some bring good luck in your personal life, others in business. Many are strong amulets.
Money talismans
A fat plant planted in a red pot or at least tied with a scarlet ribbon will help to attract wealth and financial well-being into your home. The bottom of the pot should be covered with coins of different denominations. You cannot buy an adult flower. It is better to “steal” a leaf of a mature plant from the house of a wealthy family.
Oxalis is ruled by the zodiac sign Taurus. Gives owners practicality and prudence. Helps improve the financial condition of the family.
To always have money in the house, you need to acquire a pakhira. Signs about home flowers claim that a tree-like plant from the American continent helps to overcome a bad streak in life and establish a successful business.
Harmonizing space and improving relationships
The magical properties of aloe lie in its ability to destroy any negative energy influences. If you place the plant near the entrance to the house or room for receiving guests, it will drive away all visitors who wish harm to its owners.
Geranium is also good at clearing space of negative energy. It is a powerful protector against the human evil eye and envy if you place a flower pot near a window that faces the street. In cases where you are tormented by disturbing dreams and nightmares, you need to place a geranium bush in the bedroom.
Violet has a lunar nature. Has soft, calming energy. Sets up family members for understanding and trust, helps to avoid quarrels and conflicts. Pink inflorescences relieve feelings of dissatisfaction and the desire to criticize. Violet - tunes to sublime thoughts. White helps relieve tension, overcome stress and fatigue. Blues give creative inspiration and promote the discovery of talents.
Attracting love
Spathiphyllum is a plant that can bring female happiness. It helps unmarried girls acquire character qualities that attract the opposite sex and meet a man suitable for marriage. Married ladies - to achieve mutual understanding with their spouse, to strengthen the marriage union. For those dreaming of adding to their family, the flower helps to conceive a child.
By giving his girlfriend a blooming spathiphyllum, a man can test the strength of her feelings. Signs about flowers say that if a girl really loves the giver, the plant will continue to bloom and exude a subtle aroma. If the spathiphyllum begins to wither, her feelings are insincere or are fading away.
Hibiscus helps strengthen the element of Fire in the home. Fills with vigor, love of life, increases sexual energy. Ideal for the bedroom of an elderly couple. It is also believed that hibiscus helps to make profitable business connections and acquaintances. However, single women are not recommended to purchase a flower. The feelings of men attracted by the energy of hibiscus will fade away as quickly as they arise.
A home rose bush preserves love between spouses and prevents infidelity. White roses are a symbol of purity and chastity. Parents who are worried about their teenage daughter should place a box with these flowers in her room.
Chinese folk signs about indoor plants claim that bamboo is a flower that can bring happiness and good luck in any area of life. A flower arrangement of five shoots will give you financial well-being, of seven - health and longevity, of twenty - will help you find true love and build harmonious relationships with relatives. Tying its stems with red and gold ribbons will help enhance the magical properties of the plant.
