Is it possible to keep orchids at home: folk signs and superstitions

Signs associated with the color of an orchid

Feng Shui masters claim that the shades of the leaves of the plant affect the microclimate in the apartment, the mood of the owner and relationships in the family.

Houseplants cleanse the aura of the room, get rid of diseases, relax and refresh the air.

Red orchids get rid of laziness and the habit of procrastinating. Purple phalaenopsis has similar qualities. Plants are ideal for people who want to radically change their lives: give up bad habits, take a decisive step towards renewal.
Orange color and shades of yellow will give you determination in the fight against difficulties, help you achieve a promotion, and give you confidence in your strength. Bright flowers will fill a person with positive energy.
White symbolizes purity of thoughts and harmonizes living space.
The pink orchid relieves depression, dark thoughts, dissatisfaction with oneself and the world around us.

There are a great many shades of this amazing flower in the world. I saw an almost black orchid in the store. I didn’t risk buying it, despite the bewitching attractiveness of the plant: its energy was too gloomy.

Orchid as a gift

The tradition of bouquets of cut flowers is gradually becoming a thing of the past. More and more women are ordering potted plants. I warned my friends and family a long time ago that I would prefer to receive a gift of a living flower that I would take care of. Such a gift will help preserve the memory of the celebration and the person who presented it for a long time.

Orchid is a wonderful gift for a loved one

Orchids are high on my list for several reasons.

The luxurious flower symbolizes the sincerity and warm feelings of the giver.
A potted orchid helps rejuvenate its owner. For women, a flower is a source of vitality, beauty, and energy.
Phalaenopsis represents fragility and strength at the same time. The plant helps to mobilize a person's internal resources.

On what occasion is it appropriate to give an orchid:

Housewarming.
Professional or other holidays.

When buying a phalaenopsis as a gift, be sure to pay attention to its color; it will tell a lot about the feelings you have for a person:

Pink flowers will emphasize the romance of the moment.
White symbolizes elegance, severity and beauty.
Yellow, contrary to popular belief, does not predict separation. On the contrary, they talk about strong, long and fruitful relationships.
The blue lady's slipper is still a rare guest on the shelves of flower salons. Finding such an orchid for a gift is a great success. She represents uniqueness.
Purple shade - suits people who are thoughtful, reasonable, and able to penetrate to the essence of things.

Do not buy a plant if you are in a gloomy mood, it will not take root. Flowers subtly sense the mood of the owner. In a house where there is often quarreling and arguing, plants get sick and die. It is believed that this is how they take on dark energy.

The meaning of a flower, depending on the color

Each shade of flowers has its own meaning and energy, therefore the ancient teaching of harmonizing space, Feng Shui, attributes some magical properties to orchids:

White orchids are a symbol of tenderness, femininity, love and purity. They will give you a feeling of calm and tranquility and help you meet true love.
Pink and lilac flowers will inspire you to find harmony and give you a feeling of inner attractiveness and charm.
Red flowers fill the surrounding space with positive energy, which will inspire you to achieve your goal.
Yellow orchids symbolize financial well-being and prosperity in the home.
Variegated, orange and purple flowers will become a source of vitality, increase activity and help cope with depression and apathy.

Flowers of any shade give a lot of positive emotions, filling the space with freshness and improving its energy.

Negative effects of orchids

The orchid flower is not as harmless as it seems at first glance. Let's figure out what negative qualities, according to signs, manifest themselves in relation to a person.

Flower heart

Reasons for negative influence

Esotericists call phalaenopsis a vampire plant and do not recommend keeping it in the bedroom. The orchid is most active at night and early in the morning - during these hours it absorbs the energy of people and pets.

The pollen of some types of domestic orchids contains substances that can cause excessive drowsiness. It is believed that if you want to wake up refreshed in the morning, then banish this flower from the bedroom.

Remember that phalaenopsis, like other flowering plants, can cause allergies. If family members suspect this disease, remove it from the home.

The juice from orchid leaves is not poisonous, but do not allow children or pets to break off the leaves and eat them.

Signs and superstitions about orchids of a positive nature

As mentioned above, the teachings of Feng Shui have nothing against growing these plants in the house, but subject to the above precautions. Then they will not have any negative meaning and will serve as a real talisman for any woman, helping to develop talents and engage in creativity. Only in order for the plant to treat you well, you should properly care for it and prevent diseases and wilting of the orchid.

An orchid can prolong and even restore a woman’s youth, health and good mood. It gives attractiveness and enhances all feminine qualities and character traits. With the help of this home flower, you can expel negativity from your home and attract positive energy into it. At the same time, pay attention to color, because specimens of different colors have different effects.

This plant can also be your protector. If you have a guest who is planning evil against you, the orchid will definitely drive him away, causing you to feel unwell and want to urgently leave your apartment. Secret and obvious enemies who had to face an orchid protecting its owner experience headaches, various anxiety states and other disorders.

The effect of orchids on men

In some sources we will find the opinion that an orchid in a pot negatively affects the relationship between spouses. This is wrong. Traditionally, the flower is considered female, but it cannot be classified as a “husband’s flower.” It will not drive your spouse away from the family, but it can make him apathetic, lacking initiative, pampered and capricious.

Experts advise men to have as little contact with the plant as possible. Radical feng shui masters do not recommend placing a flower near a man’s workplace or in the room where he spends his free time.

I beg to differ with all of the above arguments.

Firstly, what should people living in a one-room apartment do with an orchid? They shouldn’t throw an expensive gift in the trash.
Secondly, men already have little contact with indoor plants. I trim, water and replant my flowers myself. The spouse has nothing to do with them.
Thirdly, always look for a reasonable compromise and sensibly evaluate the information received from various sources. One or two orchids in the house will not cause any significant harm. Do not turn your apartment into a greenhouse; an excess of flowers will lead to increased humidity in the room.

In my small apartment, not many plants fit on the windowsill. Of these, two are orchids that have lived with me for several years. I responsibly declare that the character of the spouse has not changed for the worse.

Is it possible to give

Undoubtedly, phalaenopsis can be given as a gift, but not to everyone. It is considered an excellent gift for a loved one as it symbolizes good attitude, affection and sincerity.

As a gift it has several meanings:

One branch in the composition is considered a wish for many children and a large family.
A white flower received by a girl from her boyfriend means serious intentions and a desire to build a family with her.
For creative people, an orchid is the best wish for successful work.
For harsh men, such a gift hints at the need for a change in character: in this case, phalaenopsis should soften an overly harsh character.
For spouses, this is a symbol of a new stage in their relationship.

Previously, a yellow orchid given to a woman could lead to a break in the relationship - it meant that the feelings had passed. Nowadays, few people speak the language of flowers, so this does not happen.

Impact on women

A female talisman, as feng shui experts call an orchid. They say that by interacting with this plant, representatives of the fair sex increase the energy of beauty and attractiveness.

Orchids are like women. They are beautiful and mysterious

List of positive qualities of an indoor orchid:

Extends a woman’s “blooming” period: eliminates wrinkles, improves mood.
Helps to reveal inner potential, abilities and talents.
Promotes harmonization of relationships with the opposite sex.
Develops intuition and inner vision.
Provides protection from the evil eye and potential enemies.
Calms in moments of anger.

An indoor orchid flower is considered a powerful talisman against envious people and ill-wishers. If a person with bad intentions appears in the house, the plant will make sure that he quickly leaves the home. Observe the guests who are in the same room with the orchid; if they begin to complain of feeling unwell, feel free to blacklist their contacts. The plant subtly senses the mood and reads the thoughts of visitors.

Give the flower enough time, do not allow the orchid to get sick and fade. The death of a plant negatively affects the well-being of the owner. Remember that phalaenopsis is not for lazy gardeners; take good care of your green pet.

Where should you keep your orchid?

Orchids are beautiful and require special care. Experienced flower growers know the secrets of how to extend the life of an indoor flower and provide it with the right conditions for growth and flowering.

The plant needs a lot of sunlight, but does not like direct scorching rays.
The orchid does not tolerate temperature changes and drafts.
The optimal air humidity for the slipper of Venus is 60–90%.

The ideal place in the house for an orchid would be the following areas:

The bathroom is preferable in terms of air humidity. But don't forget about additional lighting.
Window sill in a room or kitchen.

Do not place the flower near heating appliances under any circumstances. Make sure that the roots of the plant receive enough light, because they also participate in photosynthesis.

Orchid breathes leaves and roots

Even in a small apartment it is easy to find a place for an amazing sacred flower. It is not necessary to have several orchids; it is better to buy one and provide it with proper care.

Orchid in Feng Shui

The ancient science of harmonizing space - Feng Shui - attaches great importance to the orchid. Prosperity and love will enter your home with the purchase of a flower of the desired shade.

The orchid will endow the owner with wisdom and patience, give warmth, and protect from enemies.

According to the teachings of Feng Shui, in order for the plant not to get sick and to bloom twice a year, it must be located in the correct sector of the apartment. Otherwise, the home helper will get sick and die.

Think about the location of the flower in advance before purchasing. Do not move the pot from place to place - this harms the energy of the plant and affects growth and flowering.
Avoid placing the indoor plant in dark areas.
It is forbidden to place the orchid in front of air conditioners and fans.
Flowers do not tolerate cold, keep this in mind when choosing a location.

According to Feng Shui, an orchid is placed in the following areas:

The living room will create an atmosphere of comfort and beauty.
She will greet guests in the corridor and be the first to know about their intentions.
In the winter garden or on the balcony it will delight the eye with vigorous flowering.

A flowerpot with a flower, placed in the desired sector, will activate the energy of the orchid.

The northern sector is responsible for career achievements and finances.
Eastern improves family relationships and cures mental illness.
The Western sector is responsible for creativity, intuition, and internal reserves of the body.
The southeast side helps to achieve success.
The southwestern direction is chosen by those who want to ignite the flame of passion.
The North-West sector helps to establish the necessary business contacts.

An orchid is a living talisman that needs care and activation. In order to include the magical properties of a plant, use additional Feng Shui symbols and attributes.

Place the orchid near an aquarium or decorative fountain.
Place a glass figurine of an elephant or lotus next to the pot.
Hang a panel in red tones on the wall.
Place the plant away from sharp objects and corners.

Home flowers are a kind of marker of the energetic purity of an apartment and the psychological health of its inhabitants. In homes where there are sick or elderly family members, flowers often do not take root, dry out and wither.

A living orchid is suitable as a talisman only for those who have time to deal with the plant. But do not despair, the image of a miracle flower is no less powerful. Buy a painting or poster of the appropriate theme, place it in the desired area and watch how life changes for the better.

Can you grow it at home?

This plant has been grown in homes for a long time; it is considered a symbol of wealth and well-being, so keeping it indoors is not forbidden.

There are many positive signs associated with the flower:

in Ancient Greece this culture was considered a symbol of perfection; the Greeks believed that next to such a plant a person would improve;
in Thailand they are sure that it brings peace to the home;
has a particularly beneficial effect on women: it develops intuition in them, the desire for harmony and literally rejuvenates them.

Caring for a flower requires daily care and attention from its owner. This disciplines a person, creates a certain daily routine and forces him to constantly keep himself in shape: a sick, infirm owner will have the same pet.
