What is the symbolism and meaning of the anthurium?
I. Meanings in Feng Shui
1. This flower looks extremely delicate and lovely, because its spathe looks as if it is in flight, seemingly carrying our beautiful hopes. In feng shui it signifies passion and bright prospects, and it can also be given to newlywed couples to wish them a happy marriage.
2. Also, when giving this flower to someone, you must not give just a single stem or a single bloom, because its name contains the character "zhang" (palm), and a single stem represents a lone palm, which is inauspicious. We should give an auspicious number of stems, such as six or nine.
3. Because water and fire counteract each other, this flower must never be given to friends of the Aquarius sign; it should be given to friends born in the Year of the Horse or the Year of the Tiger.
II. Meanings in the Language of Flowers
1. This flower is like a palm, and on its center there is a golden-yellow spike that looks like a red heart. Its flower shape is very distinctive and carries the meaning of passion and care, so it is especially suitable as a gift for friends. If you give two stems, it also carries the meaning of two hearts beating as one.
2. If it is paired with carnations, it can be given when someone opens a restaurant, as this appears especially formal and ceremonious and represents a feeling of joy.
3. If it is paired with red roses, it can express the most sincere love to a partner, and is generally given to someone you value very much.
4. It can be made into a potted flower arrangement using a white pot, which can then be given to someone who cares about appearances or to a respected elder, representing beautiful blessings for the elders.
III. Points to Note
Astrologically, it must not be given to an Aquarius person, because this represents incompatibility between the two. When giving flowers to others, everyone must observe in advance and must never give them carelessly, otherwise a good intention will turn into a bad one. Giving flowers to others itself represents your respect for them, and if you give the wrong ones, others will misunderstand.
