A roundup: 10 potted plants perfect for the living room that will have guests praising them nonstop!
Balconies and living rooms have plenty of space, and keeping a few potted plants not only purifies the air but also lifts your mood. Everyone loves flowers, and the kinds of flowers you keep can also reflect a person's taste. When guests come to the house, the first thing they usually see is the flowers in the living room, so when growing flowers in the living room, you should also pay attention to their symbolic meaning. Today Xiaocui shares with you 10 potted plants perfect for the living room.
Clivia
The flower language of Clivia carries the meaning of "nobility" and the demeanour of a gentleman. Clivia's thick, smooth leaves stand upright like swords, symbolising a noble character of strength, firmness and unyielding dignity; its full blooms and brilliant colours symbolise wealth and good fortune, prosperity and happiness.
Lucky bamboo
Lucky bamboo has the fine name of wealth and good fortune, symbolising good luck and peace, and it is very auspicious wherever it is placed in the living room. It is generally used for vase arrangements or pot cultivation at home, especially the "pagoda-shaped" form that spread from Taiwan, China, also known as "lucky bamboo", which has high ornamental value and is very popular with many families.
Lily of the valley? No: Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema)
The Chinese evergreen has delicate leaves that are bright and green. In autumn it bears abundant fruits and flowers, red as coral and brilliant as agate. Especially in the depths of winter, those red fruits set off the green leaves, dazzling and delightfully contrasting, making them very appealing. It carries the fine meanings of eternal youth, health and longevity, lasting friendship and wealth and good fortune. Therefore, when the Chinese evergreen blooms and bears fruit, it symbolises that friendship, health and wealth have borne rich fruit.
Cyclamen
Cyclamen has quite high ornamental value and is a famous ornamental flower in the world today, hailed as the queen of pot flowers. The word "cyclamen" comes from a transliteration of the scientific name Cyclamen, a clever transliteration that can be understood as "an immortal guest arriving gracefully" or explained as "immortals coming to the home as guests". Therefore, this flower is seen as symbolising good fortune and blessing, and welcoming honoured guests.
Zamioculcas (ZZ plant)
It is very rare for a ZZ plant to bloom. Although the flower is not very pretty, things are precious for being rare. Just like bamboo flowering, it is seldom seen, and to witness it with your own eyes is a kind of blessing. The ZZ plant itself symbolises bringing in wealth and treasure and abundant sources of income. If you can see a ZZ plant bloom, it foretells that its owner's good luck is coming, with good fortune again and again and wealth rolling in.
Guzmania (Bromeliad)
"Guzmania" is a plant of the Bromeliaceae family, with flowers that open at the top or middle of the plant. Guzmania is an ornamental bromeliad that is very easy to keep and does not need careful maintenance. It is usually placed by the living room window to ensure plenty of diffused light. Meaning: great good luck. It is exactly the time when good fortune is coming.
Coral ardisia
Coral ardisia is also called Ardisia crenata. It is evergreen all year round, with a graceful and elegant tree shape and a well-layered canopy, like a green sunshade: when it bears fruit, the fruits are abundant, bright red and lovely, and can remain on the branches for several months. It is truly an excellent potted indoor foliage and fruit ornamental treasure. With its abundant red fruits, Ardisia crenata is also regarded as a symbol of good fortune and celebration, and it also carries the meaning of many children and much blessings.
Kumquat
The character "jin" means money, and the character "ju" means good fortune, wealth arriving at the door and everything going as wished. In southern China, especially Guangdong, during the New Year almost every household places at least two pots of kumquats at the front door or on the balcony, and some particular ones even hang red envelopes all over the kumquat trees.
Money tree
The southeast direction of a home is the wealth position of the whole house; placing a money tree there has the effect of attracting wealth and gathering treasure. When the owner's Five Elements lack earth, placing a money tree not only supplements earth energy but also beautifies the environment. In feng shui it is suggested that some money can be placed under the money tree, which in feng shui is called using money to nurture money, and when the money tree is well cared for in winter, the time when it grows and blooms the next year is the time of attracting wealth and bringing in treasure.
Azalea
The flower language of the azalea is "forever yours", representing the joy of love. People who like azaleas are innocent and pure, and when they see azaleas blooming all over the mountains, that is the moment the god of love descends. If someone in the family is in business, remember to place a pot, as it represents unmatched wealth and honour!
