Having plants in your home promotes a more pleasant living environment that can brighten a home. Some plants filter the air and have even been approved by the Ministry of Agriculture as healthy and useful plants in a house. However, specialists in Feng Shui, this philosophy of Chinese origin, believe that certain flowers can bring bad luck and should therefore be prohibited.

What flowers should you not have at home?

Flowers generally symbolize joy and joy during an event, for example, and are a good gift to offer or simply to offer to yourself. However,   wilted flowers, even beautiful ones, should be removed from the house   for several reasons.

First of all,   withered flowers  represent a dust magnet that cannot be removed. Mold can also settle to cover these flowers, which would be harmful to our health. If these flowers are left in the house, they can cause serious respiratory problems due to mold. Therefore, we recommend that you discard them.

Feng Shui specialists also explain that old flowers kept in a vase for too long would affect   the circulation of positive energy, called “Chi   .” This energy is responsible for the harmony, health and well-being of the people who live in a home. So when flowers wilt and absorb the good vibes in a house, that energy is lost.

Withered or dried flowers are also a symbol of death and decay, they only attract negative energies.

In addition to wilted flowers, plastic flowers or any other energy-absorbing objects nearby should be avoided. In particular, the image of a situation or event that you find unpleasant. It can charge a place with bad vibrations.

What are the so-called “unlucky” flowers and plants?

Some plants filter the air, bringing joy and well-being to a home, while other plants bring negative vibrations. Here are some examples:

• Cactus: It is an aesthetically beautiful plant  , but according to the precepts of Feng Shui, spiky plants such as cactus and thorny acacia bring misfortune to the home. Always put your cacti outdoors: on the balcony, terrace or in the garden!

• Hydrangeas:  Although beautiful and delicate, these plants symbolize isolation, failure and loneliness. Avoid placing them inside your home. If you really want to keep them, place them outside to get rid of bad vibes.
• Geraniums: These plants   also bring a lot of negativity. Although they are highly appreciated, it is highly recommended to leave them outside to beautify your terrace.

Other plants bring bad luck according to Feng Shui, such as tamarind, cotton, Vachellia nilotica, dead plants, bonsai and Mehendi.

All flowers are therefore not a symbol of joy and well-being, you should not only know how to choose them but also prevent them from fading in your home.
