What flowers are good for keeping at home for good luck
The editor introduces you to the best flowers to keep at home for good luck and the most auspicious flowers recommended in Feng Shui. Let's learn about them together below.
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, while material needs are fully met, there is also a pursuit of higher spiritual aspects. Many people find solace in flowers and plants, liking to plant some potted flowers in the living room or balcony, which not only cultivates one's taste but also adds vitality and greenery to the home. These three "home-stabilizing flowers" will keep your home super clean, bringing prosperity and good luck.
1. Dracaena
The lush green dracaena plant has a triangular柱 shape, resembling the appearance of a backbone, with branches that can grow very long, hence being called the backbone of the dragon, abbreviated as dracaena.
Does the dracaena look a bit like the cacti column of the cactus family? In fact, it does not belong to the cactus family, but to the Euphorbiaceae family. The same family includes plants like Euphorbia milii, Euphorbia truncata, Euphorbia tirucalli, and Poinsettia. Note: The sap of Euphorbiaceae plants is toxic and should not be allowed to come into contact with our skin or eyes.
Dracaena is also a common indoor green plant. Its name sounds very majestic and intimidating. Therefore, many people like to keep a pot of dracaena at home for good luck. Dracaena is tough and grows quickly, able to reach the ceiling in just three years.
The daily maintenance of dracaena should note:
① Use loose and breathable soil. Although dracaena is a very strong plant, the soil it is planted in should be loose and breathable, as most plants prefer loose, breathable, and fertile soil.
It is not necessary to use nutrient-rich soil to plant dracaena; using some nutritious garden soil with some coarse river sand to increase soil breathability and water permeability is very good. If you are worried about insufficient fertility, it is recommended to dig for black humus soil under the trees in the forest.
② Use a small pot for planting. Although dracaena grows quickly and the plant can grow very tall, do not use an overly large pot for planting.
This is because dracaena has relatively shallow and short roots and does not require such a large pot. Moreover, if the pot is too large and the soil is too thick, waterlogging after watering can easily cause root rot in dracaena.
You can see from the few pictures mentioned in this article that such large dracaena plants can be grown in small pots.

③ Water less. Dracaena is mainly woody with few leaves, and some leaves have degenerated, so its transpiration is very slow, and the consumption of water is also very slow. Additionally, its stems store a lot of water, making it drought-resistant.
If too much water is poured during the regular care of dracaena, and the environment is not ventilated, it may cause root and stem rot.
④ Need bright diffused light. Dracaena does not require high light, making it very suitable for indoor maintenance. However, it should not be placed in a completely dark corner, as this will result in poor growth and needs to be placed in a bright area with diffused light.
Dracaena can even bloom over time, but its flowers are small and yellow, unlike the large and beautiful flowers of cacti.
2. Euphorbia truncata
Like the dracaena mentioned above, Euphorbia truncata is also a succulent plant belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family. Its appearance is strange and knobbly, resembling the mythical beast Qilin in Chinese folklore, hence its name. It also has other names, such as Qilin horn and jade Qilin.
