Many people would like to grow the amazingly beautiful azalea at home. However, not everyone knows about its features and existing folk superstitions regarding indoor flowers. Most omens and beliefs are related to the condition of the plant and its location in the apartment. It makes sense to listen to some advice, since the crop is poisonous and can harm a person or pet.
Is it possible to keep an azalea at home?
The plant belongs to the genus Rhododendron. Most varieties are based on Indian azaleas, and Japanese varieties are also common. There are evergreen and deciduous representatives of the species. Despite the diversity of culture, folk signs and superstitions about the indoor azalea flower do not depend on the variety.
It is allowed to grow this plant at home, but you must remember about its toxicity and some of its features. Rhododendron can be dangerous to children and pets. It is also undesirable to purchase a representative of this genus for people prone to headaches, since azalea can provoke a deterioration in well-being.
Magical properties of azalea
An indoor azalea can maintain a certain energy in the house, allowing people to always remain cheerful and full of energy. It creates an atmosphere conducive to long, concentrated activity and forces a person to concentrate on the main thing, not paying attention to the little things.
Azalea should always be present in the homes of creative people. Many people in the arts often find it difficult to realize their thoughts or fantasies. The plant will not allow them to be frequently distracted from work, thereby bringing the idea closer to fruition. In addition, azalea is able to protect its owner from various gossip and rumors.
The magical properties of azalea include the ability to immediately neutralize all vibrations that bring fussiness and nervousness into the atmosphere of the home, but at the same time, the plant helps with excessive drowsiness, so azalea is extremely useful for those who have difficulty getting up in the morning. Those who are afraid to take responsibility for any important matter should definitely start breeding these beautiful flowers; they will help their owner become more serious and decisive.
The volatile substances that azalea spreads during the flowering period have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. When used correctly, the plant can even heal stye on the eye. In addition, its pleasant smell is perfect for relaxing aromatherapy.
If you feel tired, just sit next to this amazing flower for a few minutes, inhaling the aroma and enjoying its beauty. This meditation clears your thoughts and even improves your vision. Azalea perfectly relieves eye inflammation, regardless of whether it is caused by overwork or some other reason.
Azalea
- one of the most beautiful indoor plants. Moreover, it usually blooms in winter, which means it gives a person exhausted by the cold and lack of sunny color joy and a piece of summer.
The large beautiful flowers of the plant come in a variety of colors from snow-white to deep purple. With good care, an azalea can bloom so vigorously that the leaves are almost invisible behind the abundance of buds. By the way, experienced gardeners advise remembering that the more lush the green vegetation of an azalea, the smaller its flowers will be, and therefore, at every opportunity, weak or, conversely, overgrown shoots should be removed from the bush.
Our ancestors were in many ways more worthy than us. Through legends and myths, they tried to convey to their descendants how they should relate to nature, so as not to lose themselves.
Spiritualizing and endowing the surrounding world with qualities inherent in man, they determined the only possible path - the path of harmony: how you relate to the plant kingdom, so it will answer you. Each plant has enormous energy power, its own magic.
Sorcerers are well aware of this, preparing their mysterious potions with the addition of various plants. The magical properties of each magical drink depend on the “miracle herbs” put into the cauldron by the sorcerer.
The medicinal properties of plants are given not only by various components, but also by the vitamins contained in them. With their bioenergy, plants correct human bioenergy. Having learned about these properties of plants, people came up with various rituals and conspiracies.
Modern scientists have experimentally proven that the plant not only feels pain, but also remembers the person who caused it. Moreover, each plant senses other plants and exchanges information with them. Think more than once before you just break a branch from a tree without permission: how will this broken branch affect your destiny?
In Japan, it is believed that a flower is the only creature in the world that is as beautiful as it is defenseless, which gives a person joy and takes on his pain. They believe that the silent beauty of a tree and a flower is the path to Salvation.
Lovingly touching a flower, a person, absorbed in its beauty, forgets about himself, and having forgotten about himself, his beloved and only one, he suddenly begins to hear the breath of the flower, and then a conversation of hearts arises. To see something for real means to remove the veil from your eyes and bring this “something” back to life, they say in the East.
When Buddha was asked to give another sermon, he simply silently showed the flower to the audience. Without words, the Buddha conveyed the Path to Enlightenment: directly from heart to heart.
Many popular beliefs are associated with the magical power of plants.
It has long been believed that you can learn to read other people's thoughts if you grow magic peas yourself. To do this in the spring, you need to kill a snake (an animal with powerful magical powers), sew three peas into its belly and bury it in the ground.
The grown flower is picked and eaten at midnight. From my own experience, I know that if you seriously consider the issue of reading other people’s thoughts (telepathy), grow any edible flower, carefully care for it during growth, constantly think about why you cherish it, tune in to the plant every day, try to understand, what he lacks, and then you also perform the “eating” ritual, then during this time your telepathic capabilities will definitely increase, you will learn to listen and hear plants.
And there, from plants, it’s not far to animals, and then it’s a stone’s throw to people. That's all telepathy is. It turns out that reading thoughts, the ability to feel and understand without words are completely natural for humans! However, this is not really about plants...
Here is another belief that has come down to us from ancient times:
anyone who wanted to become smart and rich needed to find a fern flower. You had to look for its brilliant light at exactly midnight near Ivan Kupala and, having picked it off, rush at full speed out of the forest, not paying attention to the howl of the pursuing devils.
And if you turn around, you will die or remain an idiot for the rest of your days. Is it worth looking for a fern flower or is it just a fairy tale? But fairy tales don’t just happen in a vacuum.
Weeping grass is collected at the dawn of Midsummer.
You only need to pick it with your hands. Weeping grass brings fear to evil spirits, inclines them to reconciliation and submission. Only the roots and flowers of the weeping grass have magical powers.
Until now, with its help, various kinds of evil spirits are expelled from the house. Our ancestors gave this name to the grass because it makes evil spirits cry. Dried flowers and roots are kept in the house all year round so that evil spirits do not disturb the peace of the owners of the house.
Roots of overpowering grass
kept in the house to gain strength in overcoming all obstacles, and also used in love spells.
Sleep grass is harvested in May.
On a full moon, the dream grass is placed under the pillow, after which the sleeper should have a prophetic dream that will answer all the important questions that interest him.
Many magical actions are associated with the tear-grass. With her, no castles are scary: at least drive away evil spirits from the treasure, even “spoil” people.
Required information:
- Ivan Kupala grass – Hypericum perforatum.
- Rupture-grass or Perunov fireflower is a serpentine fern.
- Overcome grass - white water lily.
- Dream-grass – mandrake, datura.
- Weeping grass – loosestrife (Lythrum Salicaria).
Nettle has the ability to determine whether the patient will survive or not.
To carry out plant diagnostics using nettles, several freshly picked nettle leaves were thrown into the patient’s fresh urine.
If after a day the nettle leaves shriveled, shrank, and lost color, this was considered a bad sign, the patient was terminally ill. If it remains green, the patient will recover.
Having become acquainted with the magical properties of wild plants (they are energetically stronger than cultivated forms), you will be able to strengthen the Ba Gua zones with them, and if the desire arises, then perform some kind of magical action with the help of plants in a certain zone, after which the influence of this zone on the desired events will intensify even more. But you need to start with something simpler, that is, with indoor plants.
The selection of plants in the house must be approached very seriously, since these living creatures will live with you, share joys and sorrows, and help to the best of their ability. For example, it is very good to have a lotus flower in your home, but you can also use other flowers that have soft, round shapes.
It is considered very favorable for the home if the houseplant forms a fluffy green “cap”. Any spherical shape establishes the correct energy balance in the room.
Green spaces need to be carefully monitored
. There should be no dried or dying plants in the house. If there is no way to save the flower, it should be thrown away without regret. Otherwise, instead of the positive growth energy created by a healthy plant, you will receive the disease-causing energy of withering.
We must not forget about one important quality of flowers - during the day, in the light, they produce oxygen, and at night, in the dark, they absorb it. At night, plants deprive sleeping people of energy, so it is not recommended to keep many plants in the bedroom. If there are still a lot of flowers in the bedroom, then be sure to open the window at night.
It is undesirable to cover the entire house with climbing and hanging plants, since such species do not have sufficient energy to fill the house with vitality.
Moreover, such plants can weaken the energy available in the house. Simply put, you can use such plants in the interior, but you should not overdo it. Climbing plants are used strictly for their intended purpose.
They are excellent reflectors of attack radiation from corners and protrusions of walls and furniture, but their leaves should not be narrow and sharp. You can hang ivy pots in the corners of your house or apartment.
To activate energy, choose flowers with rounded, fleshy leaves. It is better to have plants in your house with stems and leaves pointing upward - they are energetically stronger and feed the house with vital energy.
It is recommended to treat cacti with extreme caution.
These plants are now in vogue, and due to this, many people have started growing them in huge quantities. Cacti emit negative energy (instead of positive), and their hard energy rays penetrate the space of the room.
Therefore, they can only be used for a specific purpose. Cacti neutralize radiation from computer monitors, TV, microwave ovens, etc. By placing a green friend next to operating devices, you will significantly reduce the negative impact of magnetic vibrations. Instead of a cactus, you can place a fern next to the monitor.
Azalea is also not a very welcome guest in the house
. She, like a cactus, has negative energy. In this “company” of energetic enemies there is also wax ivy, which, in addition to releasing negative energy, has the ability (according to popular belief) to scare away suitors from a girl of marriageable age.
Palm trees
with their sharp thin leaves are a source of hard radiation.
Aloe and Kalanchoe
– healing antiseptic plants. Their presence in the house helps people achieve their desires.
Better than other house plants, geranium, mint and chrysanthemum repel various negative energies.
If something bothers you at night or you feel someone’s unkind presence in the house, bring these peace-keeper plants into your house.
Myrtle
is a symbol of family well-being, it brings happiness in marriage.
Roses and violets promote the birth of love and passion
. If there are no children in the family, put cyclamen in the bedroom - it will definitely help you conceive a child. Camellia is similar in its energetic effect to a rose, but it attracts more sublime and purer love feelings into the house.
Cypress
is a symbol of eternity and makes a connection between the world of the living and the dead. The dead often try to give us clues and help, but usually we don’t hear them. Cypress can help you listen to their advice.
All types of citrus fruits
help cope with stress and headaches.
Balsam
- a wonderful flower, it creates a surprisingly bright atmosphere in the house.
Begonia
helps to increase the material well-being of the family.
Ficus
maintain an even energy balance in the house.
Capsicum and Chinese cherry (ornamental nightshade)
) attract a large amount of positive energy into the house.
Dieffenbachia, hemanthus, arrowroot, primrose
attract material well-being.
Almost all the furniture in our houses and apartments is environmentally dirty
. It releases harmful substances into the air that affect the entire body. Plants are able to process these poisons and purify the air. Lily, peppercorn, and crow's feet filter the air completely.
Some types of plants do not want to grow next to each other; they may not like a certain location. If you notice that a flower is not growing well, move it to another place.
The color of flowers is also important for the energy balance of the house. The same rules apply to colors as described in the chapter “Paint Palette”.
In recent years, a fashion for bonsai (tree on a tray - Japanese) has appeared in our country.
It should be noted right away that the energy field of any tree, even the smallest one, is many times stronger than that of any other plant.
Bonsai are low (no more than 50 cm in height) wild trees specially grown in a city apartment. An adult, well-formed bonsai tree over 10 years old covers the entire apartment with its energy field.
Bonsai, despite its miniature size, has all the protective and healing abilities of ordinary trees. Their range of action, depending on age, ranges from 1 m to 1 km.
Ancient bonsai trees, over 100 years old, cover a much larger area, influencing the lives of many people. Growing in a small bowl, a miniature, but nevertheless real tree looks magical. It pleases the eye with beauty and grace. Growing a real bonsai is difficult.
Adult bonsai are very expensive and not available to everyone. What is sold in flower shops under the guise of bonsai are artificially aged and mutilated trees, which also differ from real bonsai, like a fake diamond from a real one.
Bonsai trees are ordinary trees that are grown using special techniques to give them a miniature shape. At the same time, the natural properties and energy of the tree do not change and remain related to its wild counterparts.
This is the special appeal of bonsai; with them, a miniature corner of the wild forest can appear in the house.
The magic of trees and flowers is simple - choose what you like, thinking about what you want to get from life (our tastes and desires are closely related). Take care of the tree, communicate with it as with a friend, and it will lend you an invisible helping hand, protecting you with its strength from many troubles and giving you the abilities inherent in itself.
However, it is stupid to rely only on the power of plants; we must live and act ourselves. Not a single tree can protect against an event towards which a person himself is moving, although the tree will greatly yearn for the misfortune that happened to the person he liked. If a home or one of the family members is in trouble, the trees become sick and their leaves droop.
Sometimes they even cry: small cracks open in the bark, through which amber tears ooze - drops of resin. These are tears about someone's fate. The tree can even die if a person dies if they were strongly connected.
The tree retains its strength even after its death. Just as the relics of saints are capable of healing hundreds of years after physical death, so the wood of a healthy tree is capable of transmitting the energy it has accumulated many years after it was cut down. The magic of wood talismans is based on this property.
Azalea is an ancient flower. It has been known since the time of Ancient Greece, because it was the Greeks who gave it such a name, which translated means “dry”. It bears this name because it looks like a dried bush, but this is only until it begins to bloom. And before that, it looks like a dried-out bush with dry, rough leaves.
In general, this flower - azalea - is very mysterious. He does not reveal his buds for a long time, as if he were hiding some secret inside. But the day comes when they open and the whole riot of color appears before the admiring viewer, this happens due to the fact that about five hundred inflorescences can bloom on one bush at once; they open like lanterns, filling the air with a captivating aroma. These lanterns burn for about three weeks, and the total flowering period of the plant is approximately 2.5 months.
How did this beautiful flower appear? There is a legend that says that once upon a time there lived elves on Earth, but somehow they were caught in a fire and were forced to flee. They wandered into the forest and, tired and exhausted, began to look for accommodation for the night. Beautiful forest flowers did not want to accept strangers, for fear of damaging their delicate petals. Only one flower, completely inconspicuous in appearance, let the refugees in. In the morning, in order to somehow thank the bush for the hospitality provided, they rewarded it with unparalleled beauty. When the sun rose, the neighboring bushes, which had refused the elves a place to stay for the night, were simply speechless with surprise and delight - an azalea bloomed in front of them and its beauty simply had no equal! But the kindness of the elves did not end there: they awarded the azalea with a magnificent property.
Rhododendron is the ancestor of the azalea. There is a whole legend about him, which tells how ancient Greek warriors once tried honey from rhododendron flowers and... got drunk. Rhododendron contains alkaloids, which can lead to deterioration in health if you stay near this fragrant plant for a long time. The ancient Greek scientist Xenophon wrote about this.
There is also an Indian legend about the origin of azalea. One day a camp of gypsies made a stop on the lands of the Maharaja. Two sisters lived in the camp, Aza and Leah. Aza is a dancer, Leah is a fortune teller. Aza is cheerful and energetic, Leah is thoughtful and mysterious. Aza always laughed, and there was no one around whom her fiery smile and dance did not please. Leah was quiet and sad, often predicting people’s fate, but she could not predict her own. Once the Maharaja invited gypsies to a festival for entertainment. After the feast, he asked Leah to tell his fortune. She predicted a misfortune - a flood, as a result of which only the youngest son of the Maharaja would survive. The Maharaja, of course, was angry and ordered the gypsies to be killed. But the sisters managed to escape, however, at the foot of the mountain a stone fell on them. When the peasants found the bodies of the girls, one was barely breathing, but barely having time to whisper: “Aza...Liya...”, she died. In this place, at the foot of the mountain - their common grave, a bush of incomparable beauty grew, which was called Azalea.
Flowers fill our lives with joy, colors, tenderness, ennoble and give comfort to the room. The delicate colors of lovingly collected bouquets caress the eye and soothe. By assembling a composition of buds and inflorescences, the giver wants to express his feelings, benevolent attitude and gratitude.
Of course, you expect that flowers will help convey your emotions and experiences to the recipient, so when assembling a bouquet, the language of flowers takes on special importance. Considering the secret meaning of each plant, you can create not just a beautiful and colorful bouquet, but a real message, veiled in secret symbolism, known only to you and your loved one.
What does the flower symbolize?
This is a very beautiful houseplant, but demanding care and maintenance factors. Due to the highly decorative nature of the aboveground part, it is often cultivated at home.
Rhododendron is believed to symbolize:
- loyalty;
- Love;
- happiness.
According to the Eastern teachings of Feng Shui, azalea is a strong donor of the energy of creation and creativity. The meaning of many folk signs and beliefs is connected with this.
Culture has a beneficial effect on all family members, improves relationships, well-being, and helps deal with the stress of the modern world.
Necessary microclimate
Temperature
Varies depending on the time of year and phase of the growing season:
- the required temperature in the room during the flowering period of the plant should be 16-20 degrees.
- bud laying time (late autumn-October, November) - + 9-11 ° C;
- rest period (June-November) - up to 23 °C. It is best to take pots with plants outside or onto the balcony.
Lighting
This flower loves diffused bright light. Such lighting stimulates the formation of buds and flowering, and stops vegetative growth. It is better to remove indoor rhododendron from direct sunlight, and in the spring, in March, it requires shading. In summer, the shrub is kept in the shade of trees. The duration and brightness of lighting depends on the phases of the growing season:
It is not advisable to turn pots with azaleas towards the light source during budding and flowering. The plant is very sensitive during this period and may drop its buds.
Comfortable place in the house
The most advantageous location is the eastern, northeastern, western windows.
In the shade it may not bloom and lose some of its leaves. The flower is placed away from heating devices and other indoor flowers that behave aggressively - vines and strongly growing plants.
The effect of a flower on the atmosphere in the house
The best place for azaleas is a cool glazed loggia, living room, hallway or bright hall, corridor. If space allows, you can keep it in the bathroom or kitchen.
You cannot place a flower:
- in the nursery;
- in the bedroom (releases substances that cause arrhythmia, which is dangerous for people with a weak heart).
It purifies the air from formaldehyde contained in chipboard furniture and ammonia present in household chemicals. The substances secreted by the bush repel moths and ants.
Signs and superstitions associated with azalea
The positive energy emanating from an indoor flower not only affects a person’s emotional state, but can also affect his physical health. In people who are often indoors with a plant, blood flow, heart and lung function improves.
But we must not forget about the release of specific substances by leaf plates that negatively affect humans. For this reason, a flower pot is prohibited from being placed in the bedroom or children's room. Perhaps ignorance of this feature led to the emergence of bad beliefs.
Signs and superstitions about azalea for the home:
- An indoor flower brings love and understanding to the family.
- It is advisable for creative individuals to work next to the plant so that the muse never leaves them.
- Azalea helps to concentrate, sharpens attention, and ensures composure, which is necessary when studying and working, especially related to art.
- According to popular belief, culture protects owners from gossip, slander, and evil speculation of other people.
- The plant feels good and is growing actively - the household will also be full of strength and energy.
- Azalea helps people who are prone to hysterics, nervous breakdowns, and fussiness to calm down and stabilize their condition.
- Giving a plant before leaving means that the person will be waited for.
- In the office, rhododendron will help if there is a tense atmosphere, scandals and quarrels often occur, and colleagues tend to spread gossip and weave intrigues.
- If you gave a houseplant as a gift, and it almost immediately began to disappear, it means that the giver actually has a bad attitude towards the family. This sign should not be taken too seriously, since the rhododendron is very demanding and could have been improperly maintained in the store, or the new owners do not provide proper care and have chosen the wrong place.
- Seeing an azalea in a dream means changes and news. And for a sick person this means a speedy recovery.
Indoor plants by zodiac sign
Aries.
The best option for fiery Aries will be plants that are in harmony with their violent temperament. Bright azaleas, roses or begonias are great choices for Aries.
Taurus.
Representatives of the earth sign Taurus prefer expensive and unique plants: for example, varietal Saintpaulias or lilies. Taurus attaches no less importance to containers that contain flowers. Pots must certainly be richly decorated and expensive.
Twins.
Gemini is ruled by the changeable air element, and therefore the best option would be unusual and original plants: orchids, vines, palm trees. Fickle Geminis have difficulty with routine, so it is better to choose plants that do not require complex daily care.
Cancers.
For Cancers, traditional plants that decorate the house are suitable. Such, for example, as ficus, Kalanchoe, Sansevieria. You don’t need anything pretentious or flashy; cozy and cute flowers are the best choice for Cancers.
Lions.
For Leo, you need to select the most luxurious and bright flowers. No half measures. Chinese rose, camellia, and calla lilies will completely satisfy Leo with their thick greenery and large bright flowers.
Virgos.
Virgos are a very practical sign, and therefore will prefer plants that bring benefits. For example, bringing in the harvest or purifying the air. A wonderful gift for Virgos would be a lemon tree or chlorophytum.
Scales.
Representatives of this sign are famous for their taste and excellent sense of style. That is why only the most sophisticated and elegant plants are suitable for Libra. Orchid, hibiscus, hydrangea will fit perfectly into the interior decorated by Libra.
Scorpios.
The heavy energy of Scorpios often overwhelms everything around them. Indoor plants are no exception. It is necessary to select plants that are comparable in energy to Scorpios, for example azalea.
Home flowers not only please the eye, but also protect against negative energies. With the help of properly selected plants, you can get rid of quarrels, bring happiness and prosperity into your home, and solve health problems. Signs: flowers for home well-being - what flowers can attract happiness and joy into our home? Let's consider the issue in detail.
The common belief about the death of flowers in a house filled with negative energy is far from the truth. Plants are able to process negative energies and even feed on them - they extinguish quarrels and conflicts.
The death of one plant in the house indicates that it has taken on the owner’s strong negativity. But this does not mean that the whole house is filled with negative energy. The withered flower should be thanked for your help and buried. However , if all the flowers in the house die
- one after another - you should seriously think about damaging your home. If the question does not concern poor flower care.
With the help of plants, you can identify areas of trouble in the apartment. If a previously healthy flower begins to fade when moved to another place, it means there is a zone of negative energy there. Also considered an unfavorable omen is the unexpected flowering of a plant out of season.
Never accept a flower in a pot as a gift - it is believed that all the failures of the giver will pass on to you. If it is impossible to refuse a gift, give the donor a symbolic payment - a ruble or kopecks. Thus, you will buy your way out of trouble.

We all love flowers very much. Almost everyone has several pots of indoor plants in their home. We love to give them and especially to receive them as a gift. But we don’t always know the meaning of a particular flower.
