The teachings of Feng Shui have accumulated a lot of knowledge about domestic plants, their benefits to humans. It also reveals the hidden meaning of flowers. A special place in the study is given to a beautiful flower - chrysanthemum. The intriguing name "chrysanthemum" from Greek literally translates as "golden flower" (although they come in different colors). What is hidden in this name of the flower, what is its effect on human life? Where did the exaltation of white chrysanthemums come from?
Chrysanthemums, especially bush ones, have very large flowers and a long stem. It is these flowers, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, that would bring more benefit to a person, growing in his house. But bush chrysanthemums cannot be grown in pots. It is difficult to imagine that the shrub fits in the pot. But in Asian countries this has long become a tradition, even when human civilization was far from modern life (in the 5th century), the chrysanthemum was tamed, creating potted varieties. For many centuries, chrysanthemums have been grown in China and Japan at home, and this has become a whole cultural tradition, rooted in the teaching of "Buddhism", and then entrenched in feng shui. For the Japanese, for example, home chrysanthemum symbolizes the longevity of the owner of the house.
Varieties of domestic chrysanthemums are distinguished by small flowers, not those to which we are accustomed, and a short stem. The flowers of these varieties are mostly yellow. But there are white chrysanthemums: Chrysanthemum frutescens (shrubby), Snow Harol, Little America, Oregon, Cameo.
The Chinese doctrine of feng shui about life-giving energy (feng - water, shui - wind) extols white chrysanthemums. The significance of this flower in Feng Shui is ambiguous. She brings peace to the house, gives harmony in the family, reduces conflicts, establishes the intimate life of spouses, and tries on emotions with the mind of every inhabitant of the house. Potted white chrysanthemums give their βmaster" self-confidence, give them the ability to contemplate life, clear their mind of unnecessary emotions, and help them to develop spiritually. The white chrysanthemum will teach self-giving (this will help family relations, especially if the couple is on the verge of a divorce), help to identify hidden problems and solve them, unite the loving in their common aspirations, strengthen family ties, teach to be truthful with each other.
But the main thing is precisely the white chrysanthemum, the meaning of which lies in the granting of light, life, warmth, will improve the health of a sick person, will help heal a serious illness, heal mental wounds. White chrysanthemums will draw the attention of the Almighty to your humble person if you desperately need it. After all, white color symbolizes purity, truth, peace, integrity, goodness.
If you grow white chrysanthemums at home with love, they will repay you the same. Put a pot of flowers in a sunny (but not too) place, where sometimes it is slightly dark (by the window, on the sunny side of the house). Water abundantly (several times a week). Transplant as needed. Be sure to fertilize the ground. Provide chrysanthemum with fresh air, coolness. Perhaps it is better to grow chrysanthemums on the balcony. At room temperature, chrysanthemums bloom poorly (temperature should not be higher than 20 degrees), bad, but bloom! To prevent the plant from being hot, spray the leaves once a day.
Any indoor chrysanthemum (not just white) will help establish business relations if it is in the office. It will have the same effect on family relationships. It will attract success and love to your life if it grows on your sunny windowsill.
Feng Shui talks about the strength and benefits of many plants for a person, since it is the cultivation of flowers that provides him with the necessary vital energy, positively affects his home, family and himself. But only chrysanthemum is a sacred flower for the founders of the Feng Shui teachings.
