Many housewives point out that having a sheflera in the house, signs associated with which are indicators of well-being, has a positive effect on the energy of the home. Flowers in the house are a wonderful decoration for the interior, an ancient tradition and an opportunity to emphasize your individuality. People associate various mystical abilities and functions with houseplants, all because of their ability to perceive the environment and reflect its quality in their growth. One of these “mystical” flowers is considered to be the tropical shefflera, the appearance of which in the house is associated with many signs and superstitions.
The benefits and harms of shefflers in the house
The main useful property of sheflera is its attractive appearance. The plant has a beautiful shape of trunk and leaves, allows you to create a pleasant atmosphere in the house and does not require complex care. Unpretentiousness is another advantage: frequent watering, pruning and complex root care procedures are not required.
Unlike others, sheflera is able to improve the ecology of the home even in unfavorable conditions. This flower moisturizes the air well and enriches it with oxygen.
Important! Sheflera is able to calm the nervous system, increase productivity and improve intellectual capabilities.
The disadvantage of having sheflera in the house is its poisonous leaves and stem. When working and caring for the plant, you need to use rubber gloves. It is also necessary to ensure that the cheflera is kept in the house in a place inaccessible to children - since after touching the juice of the flower, skin diseases may occur. For superstitious housewives, sheflera can become a stumbling block that will frighten you with its properties, because there are many signs associated with this plant.
Is it possible to keep Schefflera at home?
Despite a lot of positive signs, not many people like the sheffler in the house.
This reluctance is due to possible allergic reactions that occur after pruning the plant. “Ballerina tree” contains alkaloids, so you must wear gloves and a mask when pruning. For the same reason, the flower should be kept away from children and pets (cats, dogs). Shefflera in the house also improves sleep, strengthens the immune system, and increases performance. In addition, this evergreen shrub, which is also called Hanuman after the Indian deity, is very beautiful. In order for positive predictions to come true, it is necessary to provide him with competent care.
- Lighting. The plant needs light, but direct rays of the sun are contraindicated for it.
- Watering. The flower needs to be watered every 3 days with settled water.
- Temperature. The tree does not like high temperatures and feels good at temperatures up to 23 degrees.
- Pot. The tree prefers a wide, spacious pot.
- Priming. The soil should be loose, consist of peat, sand, and leaf humus.
Signs of a chef in the house
There are many myths and mystical stories about sheflera among people, so various signs are associated with the plant in the house. The flower is often called a predictor and its properties are considered extrasensory abilities. The most well-known signs are:
- if the leaves of a plant acquire shine, become thicker and smoother, it means that the general well-being in the house will improve, and peace and prosperity will come in the life of the housewife;
- blackening on the leaves and their curling - the likelihood of quarrels and troubles;
- falling leaves from a flower are a sign of illness and great failures in life;
- cessation of growth - decline in well-being, theft is possible;
- death of the plant - lethal cases in the family are possible;
- improvement in the condition of the flower and its active reproduction is a sign of an addition to the family, pregnancy or wedding.
Since sheflera is considered an energy vampire who feeds on negative emotions, some fortune tellers make other comparisons and present the active growth of the plant as a sign of an unfavorable situation in the house. In any case, the magical properties of the flower have not been proven and may be fiction.
Where is the best place to put the chef?
Schefflera needs to be placed in the house; the tropical plant does not do well outside. Any room with sufficient lighting will do. It is best to place the flower on the windowsill, but the window should not face the south side of the house; the cheflera cannot tolerate direct sunlight. The optimal temperature in the house is from 18 to 22 °C.
According to signs, it is best to place a flower in the living room or main hall of the house, but because of its positive properties and the ability to saturate the air, housewives recommend placing the flower near the student’s desk. The teenager will develop a love for nature, and mental work will become easier, which means self-realization will increase.
Schefflera should not be placed in the kitchen - too much temperature and poison in the leaves will adversely affect both the growth of the flower and the life of the hosts. You can’t install it in a nursery either - little owners can get poisoned if they play with it. There is no place for a plant in the bathroom and hallway. The best thing for him is to choose a cabinet window sill.
Schefflera - description of the plant photo
There are several home names for Tropicana - umbrella tree, palm tree, even ballerina tree. The first ones were given for the similarity of the leaves with objects, but she was named a ballerina for the slenderness and lightness of the tree itself, the lush crown of which often resembles a ballet tutu.
Interesting! It is believed that the flower received its name in honor of the German botanist Jacob Christian Scheffler, a friend and colleague of Carl Linnaeus.
Juicy emerald green palm-shaped leaves constitute the main attraction of the tree, which grows up to 2 m tall in indoor conditions, although in the natural environment the sheflera often exceeds 40 m. Flower growers are especially fond of varieties with variegated leaves, which create a festive mood in the house.
Schefflera flower - signs for women
Women are much more superstitious than men, so they pay more attention to the mystical properties of the plant than the stronger sex. Women often correlate the abundant growth of leaves and shoots with the occurrence of pregnancy. Often girls buy a flower so that it helps fight negative energy and promote the conception of a child, and after waiting for the cheflers to grow abundantly, they try to get pregnant. And, conversely, when vital activity declines, which is a sign of deteriorating well-being, girls do not try to promote conception, but pay attention to family wealth and helping their man.
The tropical plant feels good in the summer, during this period it needs to be actively watered, then the flower will not only please the owner with its pleasant appearance, but will also begin to reproduce. During the dormant period (from November to February), the plant should not be disturbed; it should be watered less frequently during this time. When parasites appear on the leaves, you need to clean their surface with a special soap solution. If you properly care for your shefflera, you can achieve an improvement in its appearance, which means you can charge yourself with positive energy and set yourself up to increase the well-being in your home. Taking care of yourself and the world around you is the main opportunity to become more successful and feminine. And it’s not a matter of signs - this life rule applies to everything, and not just to the flowers in the house.
