Cactus for feng shui - which one to choose and where to put

By Feng Shui cacti are ambiguous houseplants. Because of the propensity to accumulate moisture and nutrients, and slowly expend them, oriental masters attribute cacti to the possibility of stimulating the growth of monetary savings. On the other hand, because of spines, a cactus is considered a plant capable of bringing quarrels and strife into the house. We will find out what the cactus is like by Feng Shui, whether it is possible to keep this plant at home and where to plant it.

Which cactus to choose

Despite its unusual appearance, cacti are typical plants. They are under the control of the elements of wood, so they can be placed in the East and South-East.

Plants, like any living organism, are able to absorb and radiate energy. What kind of energy it will be - Sha or Qi - depends on many circumstances, primarily on the shape of the leaves.

Cactus does not have leaves. Their role is played by spines - sharp formations covering the plant from top to bottom. In Feng Shui it is believed that any sharp objects are sources of Sha - negative energy. For this reason, the cactus is an unsuitable plant for a house.

The most unfavorable from the point of view of feng shui cacti - with sharp thorns sticking out in all directions. These species grow in nature in moist places. They extract water from their roots, and spines are used as protection against herbivores.

Cacti, growing in arid deserts, have many small thorns, giving them a pubescent appearance. In the desert, there are almost no herbivores, so plants do not need protection. Thick, but soft spines absorb moisture, which is released from the air due to changes in daytime and night temperatures.

Lovers of cacti should choose desert cacti - without thorns or with soft, curled down prickles:

• mammillaria plumosa - a spherical stem covering soft formations resembling a bird's feather, due to which the cactus is wrapped in a thick white web;
• Lofofora  - cactus, similar to a pumpkin, with a smooth non-sticky surface;
• ariocarpus  - a non-key plant with a wide stem and spirally arranged around it in outgrowths of a triangular shape;
• astrophytum  - a non-key plant with a spherical or cylindrical stalk, covered with ribs;
• blossfeldia  - one of the small cacti, has a globose stem 2 cm in diameter, there are no thorns;
• Lithops  - funny plants, reminiscent of forked hoofs, height of up to 3 cm.

According to Feng Shui, cacti emit female energy. In their presence, men feel uncomfortable and try to leave the room. Therefore, masters of eastern practices do not recommend keeping cactus at home to single women who wish to enter into a relationship or start a family. It is dangerous for a private life to create houses extensive collections of cacti, as is customary among fans of these plants.

Where better to put

If the apartment has a cactus that you do not want to part with, it should be placed in the wealth sector to the southeast. The cactus accumulates moisture inside itself, and then slowly consumes it. Due to this feature, the plant can be a symbol of accumulation and savings, help the owners to accumulate money and material goods.

Eastern sages advise using cactus as protection. If the house is in danger, saury plants are planted on the southeast window and curtains are tightly curtained so that the Sha coming out from the thorns could not enter the room. The spiny defender will reflect any energy aggression directed at the house from the outside.

The second suitable place for cactus is the outer space of the house. Planted on the perimeter of the site prickly defenders protect the house from outgrowth from pointed buildings and unfavorable landscape features of flows of "bad" energy.

You can not plant cacti opposite the entrance door or next to it. Plants need to allocate a place that is further away from residential construction.

Where can not I put

It is widely believed that cacti reduce harmful electromagnetic radiation emanating from TV screens and computers. For this reason, plants are installed in offices and on work desks.

Experiments with measuring the level of electromagnetic radiation have shown that cacti do not reduce the amount of harmful rays.

It makes no sense to put a cactus on the desktop in the office or office - the plant will not only not protect against radiation, but will also become a secret "mastermind" of quarrels in the work collective.

You can not put cacti in the living room, bedroom or kitchen - they will provoke quarrels. If conflicts do not subside in the house, you can check whether the cactus is the cause. The plant is removed from the house for 1-2 months. If, in the absence of a prickly friend, relations are established, then he introduced disharmony into the energy field of the house.

Eastern masters warn that in the bedroom there should not be room flowers at all. Allowed only a moderate number of plants at maximum distance from the bed.

There are exceptions to this universal rule. Callas are able to neutralize the contradictions between spouses. Favorable presence in the bedroom of violets, cyclamen and begonias. Rounded leaves and petals of quiet plants harmonize the energy and help to smooth out the acute moments in marital relations.

Standing in the bedroom plants with red flowers foment passion, with pink ones - charge positive emotions.

History from the master of Feng Shui

The woman had a difficult relationship with her partner, but for some reason she could not separate from him. It turned out that her whole apartment was filled with cacti. When, on the advice of the master, she freed the apartment from prickly pets, the relationship ceased to be painful, and then the friend left her. Soon a new person appeared in her life, with whom she managed to create a union full of harmony.
