Main content core guide: Why can't osmanthus trees be planted at home and the taboos of feng shui and zodiac-related green plant flower cultivation, specific introduction as follows:
Osmanthus trees, due to their towering height, can have a significant impact on the life in the courtyard, so it is commonly said that planting osmanthus trees in the courtyard is forbidden. So how exactly is it? As we all know, osmanthus trees are very common, and we often use the phrase "osmanthus fragrance spreading far and wide" to describe someone or something very famous, because the fragrance of osmanthus can spread for miles and is well-known. However, although osmanthus is fragrant, it is often found in parks, because osmanthus trees are evergreen trees that can grow up to several tens of meters high, so planting them at home requires a certain amount of space. Generally, only families with courtyards consider planting osmanthus trees, but what impact does it have on life after planting? Today, I will take everyone to take a look.
【One, The Story of Osmanthus Trees】
The most famous legend of osmanthus trees is "Wu Gang Cutting Osmanthus." According to the legend, there is an osmanthus tree on the moon, five hundred feet tall. There was a man named Wu Gang in the Han Dynasty who was punished for cutting the osmanthus tree in the moon because he did not follow the rules while studying immortality. The tree, however, would heal itself after being cut each time, so Wu Gang is still cutting the tree on the moon to this day! Later generations see osmanthus trees as similar to the moon, symbolizing "longevity and eternal vitality."
【Two, Why Not Plant in the Courtyard】
Since osmanthus trees have such beautiful meanings, why can't they be planted in the courtyard? In fact, many people who have planted them have deep experiences: the impact of osmanthus trees on life is too great!
1. Blocking Sunlight
Osmanthus trees can grow up to several tens of meters high, and their canopies can become very large, covering several hundred square meters. The biggest impact is blocking sunlight. In summer, it might feel cool, but in other seasons, it really lacks sunlight! Especially for families with elderly people, it would be very uncomfortable.
2. Blocking Airflow
Because of the tall trunk and canopy of osmanthus trees, there is a feeling of "impenetrable wind." Although osmanthus trees themselves are plants that can purify the air, the original exchange of air between the house and the outside world is through the courtyard, which is now cut off by the osmanthus trees, making it impossible to "ventilate" with the outside world!
Why Can't Osmanthus Trees Be Planted at Home?
3. Overpowering Fragrance
Some people might think: Even if there is no ventilation with the outside world, breathing in the fragrance of osmanthus in the courtyard is also a pleasant experience. This idea is completely wrong. When the large osmanthus tree is full of fragrant flowers, and you live under the tree all day, you will feel suffocated by the fragrance, especially for those allergic to pollen or花香.
4. Excessive Moisture
No sunlight and poor ventilation can lead to increased moisture, causing walls, floors, and furniture in the house to easily mildew and spot, making it easy for people living in the house to get sick and become depressed, bringing many adverse effects to the entire home life.
5. Attracting Insects
Generally, trees can easily attract insects, and osmanthus trees are no exception. If you think you can enjoy the coolness under the osmanthus trees in the courtyard in the summer, you have to risk being bitten by mosquitoes and insects. Before you know it, your skin might start to swell and itch.
