There is a belief that whoever is lucky enough to find a fern flower on the night of Ivan Kupala will be able to discover the secrets hidden in the depths of the earth.
Fern bloom
This is a plant that has been growing on our planet since the time of dinosaurs. Nowadays, there are more than 10 thousand species of ferns.
It grows everywhere except Antarctica, but none of them are flowering, which contradicts all legends. A fern cannot have flowers or seeds.
Why You Shouldn't Grow Ferns in Your Yard
Ferns are usually used to decorate flower beds, fences and paths of summer cottages. But due to superstitions, some are afraid of this plant, because they believe that it attracts evil spirits.
Fern leaves are not poisonous, they are even used in medicine. And young shoots that have not yet unfolded and look like snails can even be eaten.
Fern as a talisman
Some beliefs say that the fern will bring good luck, while others say it will bring bad luck. This is due to the belief that the plant needs a large amount of energy, which it gets from the environment.
It is said that the plant can cause allergies and migraines in those who grow it. And the fern can also have a positive effect on hot-tempered and aggressive people.
Therefore, it can be noted that it is good to grow ferns if no one in the family has allergic reactions.
In England, the fern is considered a love talisman. People who love each other often plant it together, and single people plant it to be mutually loved.
Our ancestors embroidered an image of a fern flower, believing that it would bring success to the owner, reveal talents and spiritual strength, and be able to fulfill the most cherished desires.
Fern and rodents
Rodents do not like this plant. You need to plant several bushes near the house, in this case the rodents will pass by.
Also, to protect crops from rodents, you can cover the soil near other plants with fern leaves.
