If there are elderly people at home, keep 3 kinds of flowers; they symbolize longevity, and it is not too late to grow them now
Keeping some potted flowers at home not only beautifies the home environment, but some plants also carry very good meanings and, in flower-growing feng shui, are very suitable for growing indoors. I believe many people know that growing lucky bamboo and clivia at home means good luck and auspiciousness. In fact, besides these two common flowers, there are also several that are very worth growing. Especially for families with elderly people, growing the following 3 kinds of flowers all symbolizes "longevity." After reading this, hurry and grow a few pots!
One of the flowers with the meaning of "longevity": the potted monstera deliciosa (Monstera deliciosa)
The monstera deliciosa is a foliage plant with a very special leaf shape, named because the leaves somewhat resemble a turtle shell. Its leaves not only have high ornamental value, but also have quite strong purifying ability. Harmful gases common in homes, such as formaldehyde, benzene and TVOC, can be easily absorbed clean by growing a few pots of monstera deliciosa. Most importantly, growing a pot of it in the living room also symbolizes "longevity" for the elderly in the family. This plant is relatively easy to care for. Just remember that it cannot be exposed to strong sun; for daily watering, do it when the soil is dry and not when it is wet, and water thoroughly when you do, because it absorbs a lot of water.
The second flower with the meaning of "happiness and harmony": the happiness tree (Radermachera sinica)
The happiness tree is a very common foliage potted plant. Many people cannot tell it apart from the money tree, but it is actually easy to distinguish. The leaves of the money tree are generally thicker, and the leaves are also larger than those of the happiness tree. This potted plant also has evergreen glossy green leaves all year round and is very suitable as a decoration at home. In addition, the reason everyone grows the happiness tree is also its beautiful name and meaning. Whether young people or elderly people, this potted plant is suitable to grow a pot of at home. To care for the happiness tree, ordinary soil is enough; it has strong adaptability. You can spray some water morning and evening to make the leaves even more glossy.
The third flower with the meaning of "wealth and honor": the jade plant (Crassula ovata)
The jade plant is actually a succulent in the Crassulaceae family, but later some skilled growers gradually trained jade plants into "old stumps." As the stems become woody, the value of the jade plant also becomes higher and higher. Caring for a jade plant is actually not easy; it is not cold-tolerant and fears strong light, but fortunately the hot summer has already passed. This is also the peak growing season for the jade plant, so care should be extra careful. If you want the potted jade plant to become woody as early as possible, you should understand the importance of fertilizing. Apply a diluted fertilizer once a month; this will help the growth of stems and leaves. Do not use chemical fertilizers or other inorganic fertilizers; it is best to use fermented chicken and duck manure or sun-exposed barnyard manure.
The above is my sharing of some potted flowers with relatively good meanings. Growing a few pots of them at home can bring different joys to life. Of course, some may be harder to care for; as long as you read more flower-growing knowledge, you will master it over time. Finally, thank you for reading! Also, the weather has already entered autumn, there have been more cloudy and rainy days recently, and the climate has turned cooler, so remember to add clothes when going out!
