Many people are convinced that planting a thuja tree in a garden plot is a bad omen.
We'll tell you where this belief comes from and why you shouldn't be afraid to plant a thuja near your home.
Is it possible to plant thuja near the house?
Thuja acquired its bad reputation thanks to the ancient Greeks, who used this plant in funeral rituals.
Since then, it has been believed that thuja brings death to the house near which it is planted.
It is also believed that this plant cannot be planted near the house where an unmarried woman lives. Allegedly, the thuja will not allow her to get married.
However, the inhabitants of ancient Greece attributed to the same thuja the ability to drive away uninvited guests and evil spirits.
In general, the logic is clearly impaired. Moral: there is no point in being afraid of planting a thuja near the house.
Moreover, by planting thuja in your garden plot, you can improve your health.
This plant is able to improve air quality by absorbing harmful substances.
However, it should be taken into account that thuja is not the best neighbor for many plants.
For example, thuja cannot be planted next to other crops with a branched root system.
Also, proximity to thuja will harm fruit bushes - raspberries, gooseberries, currants.
