There are many superstitions and signs associated with violets, or, as they are also called, senpolis. Some of them predict positive changes in the lives of people who brought this flower at home. Others, on the contrary, warn plant lovers from growing violets at home. In our article, we have collected the most popular signs and superstitions about violets.
Good omens
Let's start with those beliefs that reveal the senpolia from the positive side.
- If culture blooms magnificent, then happiness will come to the family. Perhaps this will be the long-awaited replenishment or improvement in wealth.
- If fleshy leaves are located on small sprouts, then positive changes will affect your family well-being.
- To strengthen the immunity of the newborn, you need to put a pot of violet in his crib. This will have a beneficial effect on his health.
- Lonely people who want to find a soul mate as soon as possible can break the Saintpaulia on Monday, but this must be done before sunrise.
- A girl who finds a flower that is different from other violets will soon find joy: she will become pregnant.
- Culture helps build relationships in large groups.
- The plant scares away cockroaches, ants and other harmful insects from the home.
- Red violets help to improve the financial situation.
To the above signs and superstitions about violet, one more fact should be added. If you really love your flower and carefully care for it, but it quickly withers and dies, this may mean that the plant has taken away a serious illness or damage from you. It is difficult to say whether the plant’s health is really connected with the well-being of its owner, but this point of view has become widespread. Florists also note that most often violets die due to root rot.
Vampire flower
The beauty of violets was appreciated by the ancient Greeks. They grew flowers in houses to decorate the surrounding area. But since time immemorial, it is believed that this flower is a real vampire. So, it is believed that he gradually drains the vitality of people who sleep in the same room with this culture. This opinion has a basis, moreover, scientifically sound.
The fact is that flowers in the daytime produce oxygen during photosynthesis (and it passes only under the influence of sunlight), and at night, like people, they absorb it and emit carbon dioxide. If the room is small, and the violet has grown, then a person inhales a large amount of carbon dioxide. This can lead to mild poisoning, which in the morning manifests itself as muscle weakness, migraine and general malaise. The problem can be solved very simply: you need to move the flower from the bedroom to another room where no one is sleeping.
Unfamiliar shops
There are several more signs and superstitions about violets that open the flower from the negative side. For example, it is widely believed that buying violets from strangers or in an unknown flower shop can lead to the onset of a black streak in life, and this is accompanied by setbacks and a bad mood. In addition, strangers can jinx you by selling a flower, which will create negative energy around the plant. This problem is also solvable: if you want to grow violet in the house, then buy the plant in trusted stores and from sellers you know.
If you are single ...
The value of violets for unmarried girls is negative. There is a rather popular opinion that people who want to start a family should not cultivate this plant. It is believed that violet repels potential suitors from the girls. This superstition is rooted in antiquity. Centuries ago, girls were forbidden to grow the Saintpaulia on the windowsill, as it “ousted” men from the house.
Isoterics explain this as follows: the violets have female energy, and they give it to the surrounding space. And in the family, female and male energy must be in equal amounts so that the house is a full bowl. Members of the stronger sex can feel oppressed if there is too much female energy. Young people, whose houses are already growing senpolia, often can not find a girl, because young people feel the feminine energy in their homes and feel superfluous. All this makes violet a flower of solitude.
However, flower growers consider such signs and superstitions about violets in the house unfounded. Experienced gardeners assure: a small beautiful flower can in no way interfere with the personal happiness of its mistress or master (only if the pot does not fall on the head of the boyfriend or chosen one). It is impossible to say that life on the personal front does not add up precisely because of violets. In most cases, the cause of loneliness is the person’s attitude to the opposite sex and his psychological attitude.
Grave flower
As you already understood, there are many negative signs and superstitions about violets. Many people tend to believe that the appearance of this plant in the house will lead to misfortune and loss. This opinion is justified by historical facts: in the past, the senpolia was planted on the graves of young people, since it was believed that violets were able to calm the hearts of grieving parents.
Red saintpaulia
The value of the violet flower is largely determined by the color of the plant. For example, the scarlet senpolia attracts wealth and improves material well-being. And if the buds of red violets open, then you will find a passionate romance.
White Saintpaulias
White violet flower is the enemy of quarrels and negative thoughts. It relieves nervous tension, fatigue and anger. Such a plant will instill in the hostess a desire to maintain coziness in the house, will contribute to getting rid of bad thoughts, as a result of which conflicts in the family will arise less often. The flower is advised to grow in families where one of the households is subject to sudden changes in mood.
In addition, indoor violet (the signs were presented above) are advised to cultivate in homes where there are small children. The fact is that this shade symbolizes purity and innocence, kindness and new beginnings. The children will feel great if they have a white Saintpaulia at home.
Pink violets
Such flowers are considered mascots in the field of health. They help young people find the other half. At the same time, they relieve obsessive thoughts associated with carnal desires. In addition, pink flowers are recommended to be grown by people who want to lose weight. You can even put them on the kitchen table. Pink violet with a violet hue, i.e. a bicolor Saintpaulia will have a beneficial effect even on the most lazy family members, as well as improve the well-being of households.
Purple flowers
Senpolias of this color predict their owners spiritual growth, help fill their lives with harmony and build relationships with others. The plant destroys all negative energy. In addition, purple buds will help you take a different look at problems and solve them successfully. Owners soon after acquiring a culture will notice that they have become more resistant to stressful situations.
Blue saintpaulia
Such violets are ideal for creative natures. They fill the work on large projects with pleasure, and also help to realize all ideas. In a house with blue flowers there is no place for longing and sorrow. The plant cleans the space from negative energy and helps to reveal the inner talents of people. Learning to play musical instruments, drawing and other types of creativity will greatly accelerate, you will stop bored and yearning, and you will also feel like spending more time with loved ones.
Pansies
So called tricolor violet. The beauty of this plant is that it contains all the positive qualities listed above. Therefore, if you can not give preference to the Saintpaulia of any one color, get pansies. An interesting fact is that with the help of this culture they even treat respiratory diseases and skin ailments.
If a flower was presented ...
There are several beliefs associated with receiving violets as a gift. Firstly, if a girl is given such a flower, this may portend a meeting with her beloved. Every day you need to "talk" with the plant. And if you want to know if a wedding awaits you in the near future, ask the flower. If new buds appear, you can pick up a wedding dress.
If the violet is presented to the girl by her young man, then the plant will feel how the couple is developing a relationship. If, for example, a flower becomes sick or begins to bind, then the lovers quarreled or soon parted.
Is it possible to grow violets at home?
The signs listed in our article reveal violet not only from the positive, but also from the negative side. Therefore, everyone decides independently whether he wants to share his personal space with this beautiful plant. However, experienced flower growers do not believe in signs and superstitions about violets in the house and are advised to purchase a senpolia. The flower has a beneficial effect on the atmosphere prevailing in the house. It not only decorates the room, but also improves energy, absorbs the negative and soothes the household.
But remember that violets are very sensitive, so you can buy them only if you are ready to look after your "green neighbor" and devote a lot of time to it.
