Every person who wants to make their home beautiful and cozy decorates it with flowers. Someone strives to put fresh and fragrant flowers in a vase more often. Some people like artificial flowers of different shapes and colors.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, was there a widespread fashion for artificial flowers? They were sold in huge quantities in the market and shops, people gave them to acquaintances, friends and teachers. Vases with artificial flowers, huge flowerpots and baskets on the walls decorated almost every second apartment.
And now in some houses it is customary to decorate the interior using bright artificial flowers. Their brightness lasts for a long time, their care is minimal, and some of them are made so skillfully that it is almost impossible to distinguish them from the real thing. Therefore, from a practical point of view, this is very convenient, but what about esotericism and the philosophy of Feng Shui?
Impact on energy in the home
If you look after flowers, cherish them, cherish them and sincerely love them, then they will repay their owner in the same coin. Flowers have very strong energy. This also applies to indoor plants in pots and bouquets that were given to you. They say that the aura of plants is unusual: the more similar it is to the biofield of its owner, the more love the person feels for him.
A strong invisible connection and mutual understanding arises between a person and a plant. The gardener intuitively knows when his plant needs water, light, and warmth.
Many flowers, possessing powerful energy, can improve the psychological atmosphere in the apartment, reconcile loved ones, and take away illnesses in the household. Energy has two poles: positive and negative.
Therefore, there are plants with destructive energy. If such flowers are placed in the wrong place or given to the wrong person, then the plants can cause irreparable harm: from physical ailments to psychological discomfort.
Alternative
An acceptable option according to popular belief is dried flowers. But they should not be withered or dead, but must be carefully dried and presented in the form of a composition.
It is not for nothing that the custom of hanging dry wreaths and bouquets of field plants in the house was so widespread among peasants. They were successfully used as amulets. There were also undesirable types of flowers: feather grass, for example, took away the strength of the head of the family, for which it received the second name “widow’s grass.”
If, despite beliefs and signs, the choice nevertheless fell on artificial flowers, you should prefer shades that are close to natural: they look nobler than “acid” ones. It will be better if the flowers are made of silk or cotton rather than polyurethane or latex. And to prevent decorations from losing their bright color, you should not place them on windows in direct sunlight. You can carefully remove dust from the petals and stems with a stream of water, a brush or a hairdryer.
Artificial flowers at home
There is a relationship, a silent conversation, between a living flower and a person. A living plant gives its energy to a person, and a person gives his plant certain emotions.
Is it possible to keep artificial flowers in the house? A fake flower contains nothing but beauty. Inside, such flowers are energetically empty, and their external appearance was created not by nature, but by man.
They say that such a bouquet will bring everything fake and lifeless into your life. Emotions, feelings, relationships between people will be joyless.
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, any artificial flower is a symbol of loneliness.
Fake flowers are used to decorate the inside of churches, they are used at funerals and funeral services, artificial flowers are brought to cemetery graves and tombstones, so it is not recommended to decorate your home with them.
If peace, harmony reigns in the house, and there are no scandals, then the artificial plant will take away all the positivity, but will not give a bit in return. Therefore, happy owners of decorative flowers will become unhappy. That's why you can't keep a fake at home.
Fake flowers can even cause misfortune in your home. This will happen if they somehow came to you from a “bad house”.
If you place such a bouquet in the bedroom, then your loved ones may soon separate, and the feeling of emptiness inside a lonely person will worsen.
If there are often rows in the apartment, shouting at each other, sorting things out, then artificial flowers in such a homely atmosphere will take root very well, absorbing all the negativity of the house. But even fake flowers can become oversaturated with negative vibrations and begin to return them to household members. Therefore, in such a situation it is better to change them more often.
They say that loaches, ivy and phyllatics, made by human hands, will be brought into the house in illness. And it is extremely dangerous, if you believe the superstition, to keep flowers and wax candles at home: such decorations predict death.
Never accept decorative flowers as a gift. Perhaps in this way they want to jinx you or give you their illness.
