Is it good or bad to keep dracaena at home?
You can safely take a small tree into your apartment. Esotericists endow the flower with positive properties. It is believed that dracaena in the house:
- ensures harmony and mutual understanding in the family;
- eliminates negativity (absorbs negative energy well);
- promises material wealth;
- strengthens family relationships, and helps single people find their soul mate;
- improves mood, charges with vital energy.
"Dracaena" translates as "dragon's tail."
Often a negative attitude towards a flower is associated with an aggressive name. Experienced gardeners warn that the plant has strong feminine energy and is very jealous. Dracaena may not take root with a man with a strong-willed, uncompromising character.
Who should grow false palm?
The plant suits everyone. Its influence will be useful for both successful people and people with low self-esteem. There are several types of dracaena. It is recommended to choose a flower taking into account what you want to get from life:
- Marginata. Family peacemaker. In a house where there is Dracaena marginata, spouses do not quarrel; their relationship is based on love and mutual respect.
- Deremskaya. A kind of green anti-stress. The plant calms, relieves nervousness, and helps get rid of depression.
- Fragrant. Attracts success. It is recommended to keep it at home for people with low self-esteem and chronic losers.
- Godsepha. Helps to refrain from rash decisions and impulsive actions. Especially suitable for Aquarius.
If you are given a dracaena that is not the type you would like, you should not be upset. There is a sign that some flowers choose their own owner. A decorative palm tree will protect the house from negativity, giving those living in it a charge of positive energy.
Folk signs about dracaena
The plant always has a positive effect on home energy. Dracaena in the house affects several directions at once, creating harmony and improving family relationships.
In family and love
The flower is called the tree of love. Where there is dracaena, there is no place for family discord. The plant is recommended for spouses who often quarrel and do not understand each other.
- Signs and superstitions for the home say that dracaena foliage is an indicator of harmonious relationships. The more shoots and leaves there are on the trunk, the stronger the love of a married couple.
- Those who cannot find a soul mate should get a dragon tail. The sign says that this will speed up the meeting with your love.
- A good omen for a lonely guy or girl is to receive a dracaena as a gift. This is for an early meeting with a future partner.
In finance
The dragon's tail attracts financial well-being. People doing business or gambling buy it to “appease” Fortune. Despite the fact that the plant is said to increase income, you do not need to focus only on money.
Esotericists warn against getting too carried away with financial issues. The flower senses a person’s energy and helps. By focusing on the desire to earn more, you can disrupt the harmony of life - there is a high risk of discord in the family.
Mental health
The rhythm of life of a modern person leads to increased stress on the psyche, and this, in turn, becomes the cause of outbreaks of aggression or, conversely, apathy. If this happens, then you should place the dracaena near the bed or next to your favorite chair. According to signs, the flower helps:
- remove nervousness, aggression;
- overcome apathy;
- give energy;
- remove bad mood.
If your soul is heavy and you give up, you should talk to the plant or just sit next to it. After such communication, new strength to live appears.
Healthy home
Dragon tail leaves purify the air of harmful impurities, and the energy suppresses negativity. In a house where there is dracaena, people get sick and quarrel less often.
Legends about the plant
There are two common myths about the appearance of dracaena:
- On the island of Socotra there once lived dragons who killed and drank the blood of elephants. One day, before dying, one giant fell, crushing another. The blood mixed, and a dracaena grew from it. Dracaena cinnabari is even called the “Dragon Tree of Socotra.”
- A simple African youth fell in love with the daughter of a tribal leader. But the girl’s father said that he would give her in marriage to a poor man only if the dry stick sprouted in 5 days. Otherwise, the young man will be executed. The young man stuck a staff into the ground and watered it. On the fourth day the sprouts sprouted, after 5 the top of the stick gave rise to several large, palm-like rosettes with long leaves. The young people were allowed to get married, and their love was declared divine.
Why does it bloom
The plant blooms rarely, so not everyone knows whether this is good or bad. Signs say that blooming dracaena is a sign of fate’s favor. But it is impossible to say for sure why the dragon’s tail blooms. It could be:
- good career growth;
- financial success or big money win.
But this is always a good sign.
If the dracaena decides to bloom, then great luck awaits the person in the near future.
Why did dracaena die?
If, with good care, the plant gradually dries out or dies immediately, then this is a bad omen. Take a closer look at the appearance of the dragon's tail:
- Causeless illness and death. One of the spouses will soon leave home. Sudden death will make one assume the death of a loved one, and gradual decline may warn of an imminent divorce.
- Red juice appears on the stems, looking like blood. The relative will die or be seriously harmed by violence.
- The leaves become sick or dry. This indicates financial loss, job loss, or separation from a loved one.
Dracaena cleanses and heals the energy of the home. If it gets sick for no reason or dies, this means that the plant’s energy resource is depleted. It is worth analyzing your financial situation, relationships with loved ones, and the situation at work. Perhaps this will reduce the upcoming losses.
Legends about the origin of dracaena
There are several legends.
One of them says that during the fight between dragons and elephants, a giant dragon died, its blood mixed with the blood of an elephant. It was in this place that the very first dracaena grew, its juice turned red. Another legend tells about intelligent immortal dragons. People living nearby decided to find out the secret of immortality, so they began to kill dragons to get their blood, because they thought that it gave strength and conquered old age. The last dragon was also wounded, but he forgave the people. A dracaena tree grew at the burial site, the juice of which can heal.
Feng Shui about dracaena
The meaning of dracaena in Feng Shui is the tree of good luck. What the plant will attract depends on where the dragon's tail is located:
- the eastern part will ensure peace and harmony of space;
- Western sector - will protect against negativity;
- southeast side - will attract prosperity.
Dracaena sandera is especially valued in Feng Shui: its shoots resemble a bamboo stem. It is believed that it drives away evil spirits and brings happiness, health, and longevity to its owner. To attract goodness, place from 3 to 9 stems in the pot (the number should be odd). Influence of numbers:
- three – happiness;
- five – wealth;
- seven – good health;
- nine is luck.
If there are 21 shoots in the pot, then the owner will be ensured material well-being and success in everything.
Whether to believe in signs and superstitions about dracaena or not is a personal matter for the gardener. If a flower brings aesthetic pleasure and a person likes to care for it, then the plant will delight with its appearance, giving a positive mood. Regardless of the signs, you can and should keep dracaena at home - it improves the health of the air in the room.
