How to choose the right one

Despite their needles, cacti look funny, and even attractive during flowering. Many myths, signs and superstitions are associated with these thorny plants. Some say that cacti bring troubles and misfortunes to the house, others claim that the place where the cactus grows will always be filled with happiness and joy. Therefore, many lovers of indoor plants are very interested in the question of whether it is worth keeping cacti in the house, where it is best to place them and whether they should be given as gifts to loved ones.

A little about cacti

Cacti are perennial evergreen plants that have thick stems. They are covered with spines and thorns up to 12 centimeters long. They can reach a height of up to 10 meters and live on average 500 years. There are now more than 3,000 species of cacti in the world. The very first of them appeared on our planet about 30-35 million years ago. The homeland of the cactus is South America. Plants are not picky about environmental conditions and do not require special care.

Signs associated with the death of a cactus

The succulet is a fairly hardy and persistent plant. When it dies, suspicious people pay great attention to this moment.

For what reason does the cactus go into the world of eternal summer?

The thorns dried up and fell off . You are among envious people.
The plant is sick and feeding does not help . Clouds are gathering over your head. Be prepared, you will have quarrels and squabbles.
The succulent has dried up on the root . Evil and envious people visit your home. If the plant is in the office, your colleagues are plotting behind your back.
The cactus was dying gradually . Pay attention to the situation in the family, the flower has absorbed negative energy.
Babies appeared on the dried plant . This is a good sign. This means that soon the black clouds will dissipate and a white streak will come in life.

Plant energy

The cactus has strong energy and can change people who have been in the same house with it for a long time. For example, strengthen or suppress certain personality traits. Due to the main feature of its appearance, it is primarily attributed to the energy of threat. The longer the spines, the more aggressive and brighter it will appear. Therefore, in a house where calm people live, the plant can upset the balance, throwing out negative energy. At the same time, positive energy is also attributed to him. In overly angry and irritable people, it will absorb energy, accumulate it, purifying the atmosphere in the home and family. A cactus, like any other living organism, has dual energy.

What does it mean if a prickly flower blooms?

If a cactus blooms, it has the opportunity to increase all its sides, both bad and good, several times. At this moment, the blooming flower increases its capabilities, and is much better able to protect its owners from harm, as well as increase family quarrels and discord. When a flower appears in an apartment, it can increase the craving for alcohol of the men of this house. But such a sign may not work for all families.

Also, if a cactus has bloomed, you can expect some very important event soon. For example, something like:

marriage;
conceiving a child;
moving;
the birth of a baby;
disease;
death and much more.

Signs can be both good and bad.

Negative signs

Signs promising misfortune are based, of course, on the belief that the cactus cultivates negative energy and aggression. Moreover, he is able to spread it throughout the house and to all household members.

The husband gets drunk. The cactus excites and awakens hidden desires and feelings in a person. One of the main ones for the stronger sex is alcoholism.
Loneliness for women. The negativity accumulated by the flower pushes a man to change and leave his family.
Does not allow you to find love and get married. It is believed that the thorns repel men and make them afraid to approach. A girl who takes care of a thorny plant and becomes a thorny one herself.
Dropping a flower pot on the floor is a sign of bad events that you will be unable to prevent.

Cacti change their owners

They say that dogs look like their owners. The same rule applies to cacti. Folk signs advise owners of thorny plants to pay attention to their own thorns (which may not be particularly noticeable, but, nevertheless, they are often there).

It is also believed that “quantity turns into quality.” That is, there lived a good-natured man, hospitable and non-greedy, and he decided to get himself a cactus. But in the process, he lost his sense of proportion and populated his window sills with a whole family of thorny ones, and then added the same thorny cousins to them - but in the living room, bedroom, corridor... Over time, his house turned into a whole cactus garden and the owner himself also acquired thorns.

On the other hand, maybe these signs are lying. Perhaps the person is an introvert who loves solitude and has always been burdened by large companies. And then I read this article and decided that if he gets more cacti, then all his unexpected guests will decide that he no longer wants to welcome them and will leave on their own. Or maybe he remained the same kind-hearted and gallant guest, he just suddenly became inflamed with a love for cacti and decided to make their cultivation his hobby.

Positive signs

The thorns symbolize not only threat, but also protection. Positive signs and superstitions about the cactus are primarily associated with this image.

Protecting your home from external threats. Since ancient times, people have placed cacti on windowsills and near entrance doors so that the flower will prevent people with bad intentions, such as thieves, from entering the house.
Creating a cozy atmosphere. The cactus takes root well in houses where there is even a drop of negativity and negative energy, absorbing it. If a thorny plant cannot take root, it means that there is nothing wrong with the house.
Repels evil spirits, protects from the evil eye and damage. The plant can be used as a living amulet.
The cactus is a wonderful helper that guards our health. It protects against acute pain that can occur due to inflammatory diseases.
A plant that has not bloomed for many years and suddenly produces flower buds indicates that you will soon get married.
A lushly blooming cactus for a woman who wants to have a child portends an imminent pregnancy. For a man - improved financial condition, changes in life and career.
Breaking or picking a flower on a plant is a sign indicating that joyful events in life will not happen soon.

All negativity will be absorbed by the flower

Cactus - like a sponge, absorbs and neutralizes negative energy that appears at home, freely penetrating through the front door, arising in the process of quarrels and scandals. The information that people learn through a computer or TV is also not always pleasant, often saturated with negativity that affects a person’s well-being. The cactus deftly knows how to cope with this negativity.

People almost immediately noticed the protective properties of the prickly friend.

It protects homes not only from negative energy and energy vampires, but also from mundane thieves and burglars.

It is important where you put the plant to guard, the best place for it:

A desktop on which the computer stands or near the TV;
Window sills - then thieves will not be able to enter the home;
In the corridor, not far from the front door;
At work, in the office.

Cactus in feng shui

According to the eastern science of Feng Shui, plants and flowers, being living organisms, fill the house with beneficial Qi energy, charge the space with it, and improve the emotional and physical condition of all inhabitants of the house. However, Feng Shui also adheres to the same ambiguous interpretation of cacti. According to early sources of teaching, the cactus was considered a symbol of wealth. The increase in money was compared to the ability of a cactus to go without water for a long time, accumulating moisture and nutrients in itself. However, the appearance of the plant, its spines, raise a lot of questions. Since, according to Feng Shui, any pointed objects are a source of negative Sha energy, and therefore harm the inhabitants of the house.

In Feng Shui, the cactus is considered a very capricious and willful plant. It can either recognize its owner and positively influence him, or reject him and bring nothing but trouble. Therefore, it is imperative to establish contact with the plant, to coincide with it energetically. You can determine his attitude towards you by how he feels.

Sudden headaches, dizziness, loss of strength that occur when you are in the same room with a flower clearly signal that it is not suitable for you.
Cheerfulness and a surge of energy indicate the opposite.

In general, ancient Chinese healers believed that it was better not to have such a plant at home. And to use its positive qualities, it is enough to make amulets from its thorns.

Laws of Feng Shui

The ancient Chinese teaching of Feng Shui does not welcome the presence of a cactus in the house. According to Eastern wisdom, the plant drives away favorable energy. Therefore, it is better to place it in rooms where its outflow occurs:

on the landing;
steps;
near the doors of the bath or toilet;
on the windowsill or balcony.

But due to the fact that the cactus has protective functions, experts recommend using it as a talisman. To do this, you need to place the spines of living stone in a glass container, close it and bury it in front of the house (or carry it with you).

Where is the best place to put it?

Folk signs and superstitions call for growing a cactus in the house in certain places. The impact of a cactus on a person and the microclimate in the family will depend on its location.

Kitchen (on the windowsill, table or shelf). Usually this is where the whole family gets together. Therefore, the plant will absorb all negativity and prevent discord that may arise between relatives.
In the room (on the windowsill). The cactus will absorb negative energy and direct it to the side of the light. And if you close it with heavy curtains, then it will not throw it in your direction.
Hallway. The most ideal place for a cactus. The flower is less in contact with the residents of the house, but will take away all the bad energy from strangers who enter the house.
Near a computer monitor or TV screen. A person spends a significant amount of time near these devices every day. It is believed that the technique emits negative energy, and the cactus will absorb it.

It is not recommended to keep the plant in the following places:

In the bedroom, especially at the head of the bed. The plant can cause nightmares, insomnia, frequent headaches, and reproductive system disorders.
In the children's room. According to popular superstitions, a cactus and a child are incompatible. Children are not yet able to understand and appreciate the importance and features of this flower. As a result of this, he can develop aggression and other negative qualities in them.
In the living room. This is usually a place where a person tries to rest. The cactus will definitely disturb this calm.

To rid your home cactus of accumulated energy, you need to replant it once a year. But he doesn’t like moving from one place to another, especially moving to another house.

Which one is better to choose?

The choice of plant should be made taking into account the character of all family members, including household members:

a tall specimen will help to cope with grievances that often arise among one of the family members;
A columnar variety will help cope with emotional disorders;
spherical shapes help those who really want to lose weight and struggle with frequent overeating; it is also an excellent assistant in the fight against mental and physical disorders;
To improve speech, eliminate foul language and bad thoughts, you need to acquire a finger-shaped variety.

There are many popular superstitions about cacti in the house; if you listen to them, you will be able to use the energy effects of this unusual plant correctly and with maximum benefit for yourself.

Is it worth giving a cactus?

Giving someone a gift of a cactus may seem like a great idea. After all, a cactus is a nice, tenacious plant that can withstand all inconveniences. However, it would be better to come up with another gift or choose a less controversial plant. Its pros and cons have always been the subject of debate. Because of its magical properties, the cactus makes you think about why it was given as a gift. From an esoteric point of view, thanks to its needles, the cactus falls into the category of sharp objects. Such a gift can be perceived as a threat and a sign that the person wishes you harm and wants to destroy family happiness. A cactus usually leads to a break in relations with the one who gave it.

Signs related to money

As you know, a succulent feeds on human energy and emotions. This list may include: anger, joy, despair, happiness, but not monetary energy. Plants with round leaves, such as Crassula (money tree), are suitable for this energy.

But there is also another version. Many people say that thorns attract money . They seem to be impaled on the sharp needles of this plant. Therefore, it is better to keep it in offices, banks and other institutions where a lot of money is circulating.
