Dracaena is credited with various properties, including magical ones.
The plant, which decorates many windowsills, is surrounded by both good and bad omens.
Can you give dracaena as a gift?
The plant has acquired the status of “keeper of the hearth”, so dracaena is given to newlyweds or people who still cannot find their love.
Bad omens
If a dracaena suddenly dies, it is a very bad sign. The belief warns of the imminent death of one of the spouses. However, this does not apply to cases when the plant dies from "old age".
At home, dracaena lives for about 15 years, and in the wild, the age of some specimens is hundreds and thousands of years.
If “bloody tears” appear on the dracaena at the moment of withering, then one of the spouses will die from violence.
What does dracaena bloom mean?
It happens rarely, but it does happen. If the plant blossoms, it means that the owner will soon be very lucky. Perhaps there will be career growth or financial success.
Another sign says that a blooming dracaena increases the chances of winning the lottery or other gambling games. Perhaps that is why the plant is also called lucky bamboo.
