It so happens that bad omens are associated not only with black cats and broken mirrors.
Even plants, if chosen carelessly, can seriously ruin a person's life. And these are not only flowers, but even garden ornamental plants, such as thuja.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer, told how the idea of planting a thuja on a plot can end.
About the beneficial properties
Thuja looks great as a hedge, it has the most beneficial effect on the condition of the soil.
In particular, the substances that the plant secretes are not liked by some pests, as well as fungi and other pathogens.
It will be beneficial for people to breathe air saturated with essential oils that the tree emits.
That's probably all, and from now on it's just one big negative.
Thuja and bad fame
They say that a person who plants a thuja will certainly fall ill after the tree gets stronger and starts growing. Even a fatal outcome is possible.
Moreover, this plant is often planted at burial sites of the deceased – not the most pleasant associations.
Not a word about mysticism further. Thuja is considered a rather gluttonous plant and significantly depletes the soil.
It does not have the best effect on its neighbors, inhibiting their growth, creating unnecessary shade, and for fruit crops it is downright dangerous - coniferous crops are often carriers of "rust".
Thuja roots can damage garden paths and even building foundations.
If this is not enough, then in order to finally abandon the idea, you need to remember the troubles that thuja causes to the owners of the site in the fall.
It is not so easy for a young plant to survive the winter. In some cases, it is necessary to wrap the crown to protect it from sunburn, as well as from unpredictable winter precipitation.
