Why is the dollar tree considered a flower of celibacy? What signs and superstitions are associated with the plant?

The dollar tree is also known as Zamioculcas. This houseplant is used for decorative purposes, but there are also many beliefs associated with it.

For some, the dollar tree brings prosperity, luck and profit, but not all signs have a positive meaning. Zamioculcas is also known as the “flower of celibacy”.

Why is the flower called the dollar tree?

Observations of Zamioculcas have led to many signs and superstitions. The plant is credited with the ability to attract money, and not ordinary money, but overseas currency.

Zamioculcas has many names:

1. Zanzibar gem (the birthplace of the flower is the rocky plateau of Zanzibar).
2. Dollar tree (branches with Zamioculcas leaves resemble stacked one-dollar coins).
3. Caladium zamifolia (this is the name of the flower when it arrived from Africa to Europe at the beginning of the 19th century).
4. Zamik (affectionate folk name).

According to another version, the exotic plant was named dollar tree for its nominal value. Initially, the “Zanzibar stone” was very expensive and appeared exclusively in rich houses where dollar bills were found.

At its core, Zamioculcas is a succulent.

Above the ground are the leaves of the plant, which can accumulate moisture. For flora representatives, moisture is a real wealth. It is for this “ability to accumulate” that the flower may have been endowed with the magical property of attracting wealth. By the way, the same properties are attributed to all succulents from the fat plant to the ordinary cactus.

Rituals and rituals to attract money

To increase the influx of banknotes, folk signs recommend caring for the dollar tree in a special way.

1. The plant must be treated like a person. Zamioculcas is a big lover of moisture, but you don’t need to water it, but “give it water,” and talk affectionately, tell how you want to get rich, and ask the plant for help in this matter. To achieve the best results, such a ritual should be performed on Tuesdays when the moon is waxing.
2. Take a $1 bill. Fold it into a triangle so that the money pyramid is visible. Attach the resulting paper symbol to the branch of a dollar tree - the wealth-attracting power of the plant will increase. Such a dollar triangle is a powerful magnet for money, it works without a zamiakulkas, but in the form of a leaf on a currency bush, and will even more so create the right energy. Watch carefully to ensure that the paper structure does not fall off the branch.
3. It is customary to bury coins in a pot with a money tree (crassula). You can put American cents at the bottom of the pot or in the tray with zamioculcas.
4. Some experts in omens and fans of magical rituals water the dollar bush with “money water.” It's easy to prepare. Place coins in a container with cold water for irrigation and let it brew for 2 days. Water the dollar bush with this “magic potion”. Do not remove the coins until the water in the container runs out.
5. For Zamioculcas to bring monetary luck, it must be stolen, preferably from rich people. It is not necessary to take the plant out with the pot, just take a shoot or leaf. Please note that at the initial stage the plant develops very slowly, so it will not take a long time for a leaf to turn into a spectacular plant, and it will bloom no earlier than in 3 years.
6. It's nice to receive a plant as a gift. The donor should be given a ransom in the form of several coins. Then the plant will bring monetary luck.

Reproduction

The “dollar tree” can be propagated by several methods; any part of the plant is suitable for this. It is better to reproduce in the spring, since rooting occurs much faster than in other periods

It is worth paying attention to possible vegetative methods of propagation

Leaf-feather

To use this propagation method, you can use any leaf of the plant - it can be accidentally or deliberately torn off. It is necessary to make an incision in the petiole at an angle of 45 degrees. Next, the petiole should dry thoroughly (2 days), preferably, of course, in the open air. So, the reproduction process is carried out as follows:

1. you need to take a small pot and pour soil into it, consisting of river sand (coarse) and peat;
2. all cuts should be treated with activated carbon;
3. in order for roots to form better, it is worth using phytohormones, such as “Zircon”, “Kornevin”;
4. the leaf should be deepened into the ground by 1/3;
5. The pot should be covered with film or a jar on top to create a greenhouse microclimate;
6. regularly you need to slightly moisten the soil, as well as wipe off condensation and ventilate;
7. you should stick to +22 degrees Celsius;
8. after 2–3 months, the old leaves will begin to dry out, but new ones will form in their place (after six months);
9. then each leaf will need to be transplanted into a separate container.

It's worth considering a simpler method. You need to break off one leaf and place it in a container with water. When roots appear on the root, it can be planted in the soil. But it is worth watering infrequently to prevent the formation of rotting of the root system. This method of reproduction has both pros and cons. The advantages include the fact that in just 1 year the leaf will already become a large plant.

Complex sheet

This option is only suitable for viable seedlings. Daughter tubers must form on the tree before this method of propagation can begin. The process looks like this:

1. It is worth separating a complex leaf with a tuber point from the mother;
2. Using activated carbon, you need to treat all the roots, give time to dry;
3. prepare a pot with a substrate, as for an adult plant, and plant a seedling in it;
4. the leaf should remain on top, and the tuber in the ground;
5. You should wait a few days to water;
6. Continue caring for the plant according to the usual schedule.

Division into parts

This method is considered the simplest, but quite risky. It will require using a fully mature plant, and if something goes wrong, you could lose the plant completely. The process itself looks like this:

1. remove the plant from the pot, divide the rhizome into parts, and each part should have a growing point;
2. each part should be treated with activated carbon;
3. let dry in the fresh air for 24 hours;
4. plant each tuber in a separate pot;
5. the tuber head should be slightly above the ground;
6. The plants should be provided with normal watering, but fertilizing should be abandoned for now;
7. New trees will take quite a long time to grow, so be patient.

Is Zamiakulkas a woman’s happiness or a flower of celibacy (husband)?

In addition to the attractive power for wealth, other magical abilities have been noticed behind the dollar tree. Signs say that zamiakulkas makes a woman happy and attracts love. And according to other signs, the dollar tree is a flower of celibacy. If he appears in the house of an unmarried lady, she will have to live alone for a century. How to figure out what role zamiakulkas plays in a woman’s fate?

The flower of celibacy or zamiakulkas belongs to the araceae family - all these plants have masculine energy. They are called "husbands". They don’t tolerate other men in the house.

What about “women’s happiness”? This “nickname” belongs to another flower - spathiphyllum. According to signs, the flowers of these plants have a similar shape and resemble a phallus to a person with a well-developed imagination. Moreover, the dollar bush is the leader in this imitation.

But if spathiphyllum regularly and stably brings happiness to its owner, then with zamioculcas everything is somewhat more complicated. To attract a loved one into a woman’s life, several conditions must be met:

• The flower must be given as a gift. When a woman buys a dollar tree at a store, she, on the contrary, gives away part of her love luck. Therefore, a purchased flower will attract failures in love and loneliness.
• The plant must be well-groomed, grow well, not lose leaves, and not fade.
• If a flower has withered, this is a very bad omen for a woman. You can't throw it away. You need to cure or buy another specimen of Zamioculcas and place it next to the sick person. A healthy plant will share its energy with a wilting one, and the problem will be solved.
• Good luck comes during the flowering of Zamioculcas. The dollar bush is blooming, and you can wait for the groom.

Unfortunately, “African” blooms rarely and not for everyone.

And people are divided into two camps: some expect good luck in love and a quick wedding from the dollar tree, others believe that the flower can give a lady a “crown of celibacy.”

It is known that omens work the way they are believed to work. If you are afraid of celibacy, then there is very little chance of getting married. It's better to think positive.

This is exactly how signs appear: they gave a dollar bush to a girl who was destined to be alone, she did not find her husband. Then the unfortunate woman shared her observations and conclusions with other people, and so a superstition appeared that the exotic flower attracts celibacy.

Zamioculcas leaves turn yellow and the stem is wrinkled, what to do?

It has already been said above that the plant brings good luck, profit, female happiness, etc. only if it is absolutely healthy. But what to do if its leaves suddenly begin to turn yellow, the stem becomes wrinkled, or some other problem appears?

Shriveled stem of zamioculcas: photo Yellowing of the leaves always indicates that the plant is sick. However, there is no need to always sound the alarm. Zamioculcas grows slowly, new leaves appear, and old ones gradually turn yellow and die. This is a natural process, there is no need to sound the alarm. You just need to wait until the leaves dry completely and fall out. If new ones do not appear in place of the old ones, and the leaves continue to turn yellow, you need to look for the cause.

What to do if Zamioculcas turns yellow? Leaves may turn yellow due to improper care. The plant does not like waterlogging, so this may be the cause of yellowed leaves. Therefore, it is better to underfill it than to overfill it with water.

The opposite situation, when the plant does not receive enough water, can also cause yellowing of the leaves, but you need to try very hard to achieve this. After all, it survives well without watering for quite a long time, because the roots absorb the water supply. Also, the reason may be mites attacking the plant. In this case, you will need to treat it with a special product to destroy the pests. The stem of a plant may shrink due to overwatering, or, conversely, if it is not watered for a long time.

Is it possible to keep Zamioculse at home?

Despite the ambiguous signs about the dollar tree, the plant is loved by biologists and flower growers. They recommend keeping this flower at home:

• Biologists say that Zamioculcas perfectly purifies the air.
• The dollar bush has a beneficial effect on a sleeping person, helping to gain energy and vigor.
• Zamioculcas has excellent decorative properties and will decorate any home.
• Contemplation of the bright greenery of the succulent leaves of the plant creates a good mood and helps relieve stress.

But people who pay increased attention to magic are afraid to keep a dollar tree at home, because according to the superstition: if the flower fades, you should expect financial failures or big problems in a woman’s personal life.

Objectively, the real danger is the poisonous juice in the leaves of zamioculcas, and even then at the level of allergic reactions. It is not advisable to let children play with the flower, and pets should be kept away from the spectacular “African”. Wear gloves when handling it.

Why does the dollar tree bloom?

Zamioculcas shows flowering only in adulthood. If this happens to your plant, it means it is an adult.

If you have other pots of dollar tree saplings in your home, place them next to the blooming beauty. Zamioculcas knows how to “share the energy” of prosperity not only with people, but also with “relatives”.

Experts on omens have not come to a consensus about why Zamioculcas blooms. Here are the interpretations:

• You can expect to move to improved housing;
• An addition to the family is expected (perhaps the woman has become pregnant);
• An unexpected inheritance cannot be ruled out;
• A significant salary increase is possible;
• Women's happiness is guaranteed in the form of well-being in the family.

In general, if the dollar bush has bloomed, this is a very good omen.

Fashionable haircut

We found out how to get rid of zamioculcas pests. How to further care for it and prune it is the next stage of our conversation. This question is important for anyone who has decided to have such an attractive plant with leaves that strongly resemble coins. The care itself was discussed in our previous articles, so let’s take a closer look at molding.

• Why does a tree need pruning? Any plant requires the correct balance of water and light. Zamioculcas, which is easy to care for, is able to form its own crown, which has a positive effect on its growth, but it is not so rare that pruning is still required. In this case, it should be planned for the period when the greatest growth is observed, that is, the sap moves along the stem very actively.
• It is best to prune when the branches begin to grow only upwards, but not to the sides. To give the crown a beautiful spherical shape, you should carefully remove the top bud, which receives the most nutrients. Next, side branches that have grown too large or the direction of their growth is incorrect are eliminated. After this molding, the crown takes on the desired shape.

Preparing for transplant

• After molding, the dollar tree flower begins to actively throw out lower buds, which over time will become independent branches.
• But you will have to make sure that all parts of the plant receive the same nutrition, otherwise the crown will turn out to be one-sided, and some branches will dry out.
• If one of the young branches begins to grow faster than the others, then it is better to cut it off so that the crown retains its attractive appearance.

You cannot prune in winter, since the money tree at home during this period completely stops growth. If you start pruning branches in winter, the new shoots will become pale, elongated, and they will lack nutrition. The best time for molding is spring. At this time, all the buds grow evenly, the leaves-coins turn out to be plump, justifying the name of the tree.

To trim woody parts, you need to use pruners or sharp scissors, but leaves and buds can be pinched without much difficulty. The plant recovers easily, the affected areas heal quickly, completely hiding the stumps under new shoots.

Attention and care

Caring for your pet is quite simple, it resists diseases well, insects damage it only when the rules of care are not followed. Sometimes pruning is required to improve the nutrition of the branches and ensure they receive the proper level of light.

As you can already see, getting a fashionable haircut is quick and easy. Proper attention and care will definitely turn your pet into a wonderful green creature, bringing good luck and happiness to your home

Feng Shui about Castle Mulcas

According to Eastern esoteric teaching, in order for the dollar tree to attract cash flows, important conditions must be met:

1. The pot with the plant should be in the “wealth zone,” that is, in the southeastern sector of the house;
2. When transplanting zamioculcas, you cannot use an old pot and soil from another plant. The flower must be planted in fresh soil in a new container.
3. It is also advised to put coins at the bottom of the pot (this has a good effect on the growth and flowering of the “African”).
4. A flower must be given, and preferably on a holiday associated with novelty, for example, New Year, Birthday, Christmas, housewarming. Thus, the positive energy of Zamioculcas will increase 100 times.

Other signs about the dollar tree:

• Zamioculcas “cries” - for rain.
• You cannot share your plant on a lucky day for you, on your own birthday. This way you can give away your luck and prosperity.
• The money bush loves one owner, who must personally look after it. If there are several people in the house who want to get rich, you need to get plants for each resident.

Whether or not to believe in the signs about Zamioculcas is a personal matter for everyone. But you shouldn’t rely only on the “overseas handsome man”. You need to forge your own happiness and feed the green talisman with positivity, which will reward you with a magnificent appearance. But on the other hand, if you believe in the magic of the dollar tree, it is more likely to attract wealth to you.

Transfer

Replanting is carried out annually in the spring for young specimens and every two years for old plants. For replanting, prepare a pot with drainage holes, the size of which should be commensurate with the size of the root system. It is recommended to treat with 2% soda and rinse thoroughly with hot water (about +40-50 degrees). The mixture for planting can be purchased ready-made in stores or prepared independently from the main components: peat, sand, turf and leaf soil in a ratio of 1:1:1:1, respectively. To improve the drainage ability of the soil, expanded clay or river and sea pebbles, previously boiled for 30 minutes, are added to the bottom of the pot as drainage.

The plant is carefully removed from the pot, and the root tuber is thoroughly washed in water. It is recommended to check for mold and other damage to the tuber and roots growing from it. If necessary, the affected areas are removed with a sharp, disinfected knife or blade, and the cut areas are treated with charcoal powder (activated carbon). The plant is left for several hours to dry and heal the marks of cuts, and only after that is placed in a pot with new soil.
