After reading this article, you can find out what houseplants bring misfortune to the house. Superstitions associated with them were formed over a long time under the influence of real incidents that happened to some people, and were passed on from generation to generation.
Despite the fact that most biologists treat such beliefs with sarcasm, whether you believe or not in their validity, you must decide for yourself, because even psychologists say that when choosing plants for your home, you should not be guided by superstitions, but trust your own feelings.
Don't forget that there are things that bring bad luck into your home for good reason - many of them are poisonous, and some cause severe allergic reactions.
Basic data
The main superstitions associated with indoor plants are based on their death. So, for example, if a plant dies, it is believed that it has warded off misfortune from the owner, and the opinion that stolen flowers take root better has ruined many beautiful plants, from which cuttings were separated without the consent of the owners.
Signs about the existence of things that bring misfortune to the house were formed only in relation to the most popular house plants. As for species that have recently appeared in flower shops, such as orchids, they simply have not yet had time to earn a negative attitude towards themselves. At the same time, it is quite likely that in a few decades they will “grow” with their own signs.
Below are the most famous indoor plants that bring misfortune, the signs about which are often extremely contradictory.
Ivy
In the Middle Ages in Greece and Rome, ivy was not only a symbol of devotion, but also acted as one of the most common talismans for young girls. It was believed that it symbolizes not only the possibility of a successful marriage, but also allows the owner long time maintain youth and attractiveness. To do this, it was enough just to wear a sprig of ivy on the chest.
As for the present time, in the East they believe that it increases the vital energy of the owner, prolonging his life. At the same time, in post-Soviet territories there is an opinion that ordinary ivy, widespread in the southern regions, attracts misfortune to the house. In addition, it is not recommended to place it in the home of newlyweds, as it can also cause quarrels, as a result of which men leave their families.
Ficus
Even in pre-war times, ficus was considered one of the most pronounced symbols of well-being. It was believed that he attracted wealth to the family. That is why this plant sought to get even the poorest segments of the population. However, after the war, attitudes towards him changed radically. The opinion began to actively spread among the people that in those families where the men survived and returned from the war, there were no ficus trees.
Since people called it the “widow plant”, within a fairly short time it gained a bad reputation and most of the luxurious specimens of these plants were mercilessly destroyed.
Monstera
Monstera is a fast-growing vine with carved leaves. In China, it is customary to give it to respected elderly people, as it is believed that it can influence the increase in the number of days allotted to a person to live. Because of this sign, it is considered a wonderful gift for almost any occasion. However, our people’s superstitions about keeping monsteras in the house are radically different from the Chinese. There is an opinion that this is one of the most dangerous plants-vampires that absorb human energy, causing people to become lethargic and apathetic. In addition, it is not recommended to have it in families where there are people with heart disease or lung problems, since at night it can “strangle” a person.
But the monstera can be placed in a public place where a lot of people accumulate negative energy, for example, in court. There she will not only delight you with her appearance, but will also consume excess negative energy.
Fern
The opinion about the “mystical” fern plant, whose flower has been sought since ancient times on the night of Ivan Kupala, is quite contradictory. So, in some parts it is believed that if you bring a fern into your house, you will bring misfortune with it, and as long as the plant is in it, various misfortunes will be attracted to you. However, in other places it is believed that the fern, on the contrary, protects the family from the evil that other people do and all evil spirits. It is believed that if a fern suddenly dries up, then it has taken upon itself damage directed against the owner of the home.
Violet
There is a common superstition that if kept in a house, the girl living in it will never be able to marry for love. In fact, this plant is considered a permanent reason why a girl may remain alone until old age. In addition, it is not recommended to keep violets in the house due to the fact that the female part of the family may develop various diseases of the reproductive system.
Cyperus
It is believed that this plant has such powerful energy that it easily suppresses the human biofield, having a powerful negative impact on the health of people who are in close proximity to it every day. People who have it at home often get seriously ill. Despite the fact that today there is no scientific evidence of this fact, if you still decide to have Cyperus in your home, be sure to listen to your health.
"Plants-husbands"
Eat a large number of plants that should not be kept in the house from an emotional and psychological point of view. These indoor plants, which bring misfortune to the house, have received the name “husband plants” from people.
- Scindapsus is one of the most popular varieties tropical vines. It is believed that she not only brings quarrels into the house and is the culprit of divorce, but also “drives out” all men from the family, including even sons and grandchildren.
- Cissus, like scindapsus, belongs to the category of plants that have a direct impact on men leaving families. In addition, cissus is considered a real magnet for attracting misfortunes into the family.
- Hibiscus - it is not recommended for unmarried women to grow it, as it begins to deteriorate personal life, and the beloved may sooner or later leave for another.
- Hoya - it is believed that this plant can not only “drive” a man out of the house, but also drive him away from the world.
- Tradescantia - in the house where this plant is located, the marriage may soon collapse.
Signs associated with flower coloring
As a rule, signs associated with flowers do not foretell anything terrible. Often, flowers that bring misfortune to the house are also divided according to color. For example:
- White flowers symbolize purity and innocence. That is why there is a belief that it is better to give newlyweds flowers of this color for their wedding.
- Red flowers symbolize passion and love.
- Yellow flowers portend an imminent separation.
- It is customary to give blue flowers to loved ones, as they symbolize sincerity and kindness.

What flower cannot be kept at home for reasonable reasons? Any of the above. They are intended for the most experienced flower growers, true experts in their field.

Hello))
Cyclamen.
It is believed that they can be kept in any room. You can definitely read in more detail about what flowers should be in the house in the article.
(The list may not be complete, add other plants if you know))
Now general information about which plants should not be kept at home.
What indoor plants should not be kept at home, photo
At this point everything is very ambiguous. If a plant is “harmful” from the point of view of Feng Shui, then in Slavic traditions it is completely acceptable; if by folk signs it negatively affects relationships, then it is quite possible to keep it in the kitchen and not in the bedroom; if it is poisonous, then in a house where there are no small children and animals it would be quite appropriate.
Let's still try to sort into groups which flowers cannot be kept at home and why.
What indoor plants should you not keep at home according to Feng Shui?
According to this ancient science, cacti are prohibited in the house.
Sometimes there is an opinion that poisonous plants are also undesirable, but since I don’t know a Feng Shui master, it is not possible to find out.
About cacti. I want to say a few words in their defense, because I love them very much myself)).
Are cacti in the house good or bad?
Even Feng Shui itself is not so categorical; experts advise to be careful with these “thorns,” cacti, and milkweeds, and not to keep them in the bedroom or nursery. It is believed that they contribute to quarrels, as they make people “prickly.” But a study, kitchen or hallway are quite suitable.
And although scientists categorically state that cacti do not absorb harmful electromagnetic waves (remember how at one time everyone put small pots of cacti in front of their monitors? 😉) emanating from a TV or computer, a cactus placed in the office will be useful, it is believed that it stimulates mental activity and improves performance.
Popular superstitions do not advise unmarried women who want to meet their betrothed to keep a cactus, because it “scares off” potential suitors with its sharp needles.
But if you are already married or are not going there at all 😉 feel free to put cacti on the window in a room where you are not constantly, since the same thorns “drive away” cacti from your home negative energy.
Indoor plants that should not be kept at home according to folk wisdom
Surely everyone has heard that climbing plants and vines, which supposedly “do not allow” men to linger in the house, are not respected. This is, for example, Tradescantia,
Epipremnum.
Golden mustache.
Here again there are some “buts”.
In accordance with the teachings of Feng Shui, it is climbing and ivy-like plants that are able to protect the house, repelling the attacks of “poisonous sha arrows”, that is, negative energy that comes from objects and is directed to a specific place in your apartment. They will also help compensate for the bad energy of a “defective” wall in your home.
From a scientific point of view, many of them are excellent air purifiers. Therefore, it is worth reconsidering your attitude towards curly pets.
I don’t know how Tradescantia fell out of favor, as “expelling” men, since it is considered a symbol of well-being.
This is a flower that has high energy sensitivity and with its help you can determine whether there are problems at home and whether family members are depressed.
If there are such negative aspects, then the Tradescantia begins to wither, dry out, the leaves droop and fall off. If everything is in order, then it is able to charge the house with positive energy.
Houseplants that should not be kept at home for “scientific” reasons
WITH poisonous plants It’s clear – you just need to be careful with them. Make sure that their juice does not get into your mouth or eyes, and that children and pets do not touch them.
It is advisable to know such plants by sight.
A flower that is very popular among flower growers, but has “increased toxicity.” Even just its aroma can cause dizziness, not to mention the juice, which causes burns, poisoning if it gets into the esophagus, and if it gets on the mucous membrane of the eye, it can cause blindness. Be careful, even if there are no small children in the house, when replanting the oleander, wear gloves.
Poisonous, although less so, are:
Nightshade. 
Dieffenbachia.
Some varieties of milkweeds.
The “vampirism” of some plants is very scientifically justified. So, there is no need to place a monstera in the recreation area. Although she is not a vampire at all, she simply absorbs oxygen in large quantities, so it may feel like “positive energy has been sucked out of you.”
The same can be said about yucca.
As a result: there are simply no indoor plants that definitely shouldn’t be kept at home, that’s why they are indoors :)
I’ll add a big lyrical postscript)) The fact that indoor plants have energy and, I would even say, their own feelings and “concepts”, I was convinced by an incident that happened at work. In the office of the deputy chief, a young athletic man, there was a beautiful Chinese rose growing.
There was no doubt that she was a “woman” - the smooth curves of the branches, constantly blooming red buds and delicate appearance confirmed that she belonged to the “weaker sex”.
She was clearly not indifferent to her owner, constantly preening herself and blooming beautiful buds. But he, like many men, did not appreciate her love and, having “stared” at another - a miniature violet in a small pot, decided to replace the tall rose and pulled it out of the office into the reception area, asking an employee who was an avid summer resident to look after her.
Every day we watched as the rose got worse, it stooped, drooped its branches and sadly dropped its leaves when its former owner passed by, despite his “infidelity”, the rose continued to love him.
No matter what the experienced summer resident fertilized it, no matter how much she moved it from sun to shade and back, the rose withered away. Once again looking at the almost bald, shriveled bush, the deputy chief’s heart trembled, he moved the miniature “favorite” into the corner and brought the dying rose back to the office.
And, you know, she forgave him))) She perked up, sprouted new shoots and leaves, and soon was again adorned with delicate buds. Of course, she couldn’t be ugly in the presence of her beloved man!
And so she “lived” with her owner until her old age, moving from place to place as the boss changed positions and offices, but, despite the change of situation, she never faded or wasted away, and is this really possible if there is no one nearby? which you cannot live...
I wanted to describe in the article whether it is worth growing the well-known geranium and whether to keep reeds at home. But the topic turned out to be so vast, just material for scientific work))) therefore, I will write about which specific indoor plants should be placed in certain rooms in the next article, which I will try not to linger on.
Let your “green pets” make you happy :)
It is rare to find a house without indoor flowers. Housewives strive to decorate their window sills and purify the air. Some people find friends in flowers. But there are some flowers that cannot be kept at home. Some “prohibitions” are associated with the energy of a certain type of flower, while others are for more banal reasons - their toxicity. According to Feng Shui, individual plants should be kept only in special places apartments so that they bring positive energy.
Nice flowers
There have long been signs about which flowers can be kept in the house and which ones cannot.
It is best to place flowers somewhere in the kitchen or living room. The bedroom is considered an undesirable place.
Bad flowers
If a person, without any reason, begins to complain about bad feeling, headache and sleep problems, one of possible reasons There may be a plant in the apartment that is not suitable for the home.
The second sign, answering the question of whether it is possible to keep climbing flowers at home, says that they unbalance a person and induce negativity. But at the same time, keeping ivy not inside the house, but on the fence, is even useful: it will ward off unwanted glances from the owners.
