Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told us which plants attract negativity into the house.
Plants that attract negativity
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, plants have their own energy, which can influence a person’s mood, health and destiny.
Some plants radiate positive energy that promotes harmony, love and prosperity.
Other plants emit negative energy that promotes conflict, illness, and misfortune. Here is a list of plants that feng shui experts say attract negativity.
Cacti
Cacti are plants that have protective energy.
They can protect against the negative influence of others, but they can also lead to aggression, irritation and loneliness. Do not keep cacti in the bedroom or at work.
Succulents
Succulents are plants that have a strong vital force.
They can survive in harsh conditions, but these plants also make the inhabitants of the house cruel and withdrawn.
It is not advisable to keep succulents in living areas, especially in the living room or kitchen.
Ferns
Ferns are plants that have cleansing energy.
They can clean the air of harmful substances, but they can also absorb positive energy. It is better not to keep ferns at home, especially in the nursery and in the bathroom.
Yucca
Yucca is a plant that has dominant energy.
It can give confidence and strength, but it can also lead to competition, tension and conflict. It is not worth growing yucca, especially if it will be in the bedroom or study.
Spurge
Euphorbia is a plant that has poisonous energy.
It can protect against evil spirits, but it can also lead to poisoning, illness and misfortune. It is better not to keep milkweed at home, especially in the bedroom and on the balcony.
How to Neutralize Negativity from Plants
If you already have one of these plants at home, don't rush to throw it away.
There are several ways to neutralize the negativity of plants and make them useful for your home. Here are some of them.
Move the plant to another place where it will not disturb you and your loved ones. For example, you can put a cactus on the windowsill, a succulent on the nightstand, a fern on the shelf, a yucca in the hallway, and a milkweed in the garage.
Place another plant next to the plant, which will radiate positive energy and harmonize the space.
For example, you can place a rose next to a cactus, a violet next to a succulent, an orchid next to a fern, a palm next to a yucca, and an aloe next to a milkweed.
Take care of the plant with love and respect. Water it on time, feed it with fertilizers, trim its leaves, say kind words to it. This way you can make friends with the plant and change its energy.
