Which houseplants ward off evil, attract wealth, boost the family's fortune and enhance yang energy?
Keeping some green plants and flowers at home not only boosts the vitality of the space, but also purifies the air so everyone can breathe cleaner air. And when it comes to plants that protect the home, they not only have a unique charm, but also energize the home and bring good luck to the family. Come on! Let's introduce a few home-protecting plants that everyone praises.
Dragon Bone Flower
In feng shui, the Dragon Bone Flower can block evil and protect the home, because its appearance is imposing and mighty, with irregular fish-scale patterns on each stem, giving a sense of majestic power. At the same time, it also has a strong air-purifying ability, able to remove harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene.
Care points: the Dragon Bone Flower's root system is rather thick and large, so it can store a lot of water and tolerate drought. For daily watering, just water when the soil is dry and let it dry out between waterings. As for fertilizer, it cannot tolerate strong fertilizer; it is recommended to use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer about once every half month.
Kylin Palm
The Kylin Palm has a peculiar appearance; the whole plant contains a highly toxic white milky sap, and its leaves and stems resemble a cockscomb or a wrinkled fan, giving an unfathomable sense of majesty. It is most suitable to keep in a newly renovated home, because it absorbs formaldehyde, ether and other toxic gases produced by renovation very well, and in feng shui it also symbolizes protecting the home and warding off evil.
Care points: the Kylin Palm likes light, but fears the strong sun of summer, so it can be kept in partial shade or in scattered light. Its suitable growing temperature is around 22°C-28°C, and for daily watering, keep the soil in a state of "better dry than wet."
Dragon's Blood Tree
From its name alone you can feel the plant's imposing nature; its appearance is mighty and majestic, and it is a large, grand green plant. Folk tradition gives it the meaning of a auspicious plant of good luck and wealth. At the same time, its sap can also be used as medicine, with an effect of invigorating blood and dispersing stasis.
Care points: the Dragon's Blood Tree can tolerate shade, and can also be placed in bright or scattered light without needing shade. For daily watering, it does not need much; you can mist it often to keep the leaves clean and glossy. For fertilizing, use a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium controlled-release fertilizer, and it will grow plumper and plumpier, and the more you grow it, the more it protects the home.
