What is the meaning of the auspicious bamboo
An introduction to the meaning of auspicious bamboo and the differences between auspicious bamboo and富贵竹 (富贵竹, commonly known as lucky bamboo) in terms of green plants and flowers. Detailed content will be shared next.
Life is getting better and better now, and people's requirements for home decoration are increasing, especially the living room where family members chat and entertain guests, which has become a key area in overall decoration. A warm, comfortable, and cozy living room can enhance幸福感 (happiness).
No matter the direction of the living room or the flow of movement within it, the owner will arrange it in advance, but the most important air and plants are often overlooked by the owner. Below, we share three types of "home prosperity flowers" that are most suitable for keeping in the living room, with auspicious meanings and pleasant appearances.
1. Lucky bamboo - continuous good fortune
Lucky bamboo is also known as "auspicious bamboo" and is a common ornamental leafy plant. With slender and graceful leaves, coated in a bright green color, the stem joints resemble bamboo nodes, not actually bamboo but rich in "bamboo charm." Placed in the living room, it symbolizes "wealth and safety, continuous good fortune," and is loved by many plant enthusiasts.
Keeping lucky bamboo in the living room can also improve the temperature, humidity, and air quality of the local environment. Even if the living room is not well-ventilated, one can still breathe in fresh and healthy air. Keeping several plants in the living room can protect the health of family members and no longer worry about respiratory problems.
Why does water-grown lucky bamboo always rot? The root system of lucky bamboo is quite developed, but the roots of the plant are few in the initial stage of water cultivation, and if not properly cared for, they can easily wither. It is recommended to cut the branches with a pruning cut more than 1 centimeter from the node, which makes it easier to root. Before rooting, change the water every 4 days, and cut off any decaying tissue. After the white roots have grown, change the water every 7-8 days, leaving some roots above the water surface, which is beneficial for the plant's respiration.
2. Kaffir lily - health and longevity
Kaffir lily is also known as "Dah木兰" and is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant. With neatly arranged leaves, coated in a bright green color, and paired with large and elegant flowers, it exudes a sense of tranquility and nature. Placed in the living room, it visually makes people feel "calm and composed," symbolizing "health and longevity, wealth and safety," and has become a favorite of many elderly friends.
Kaffir lily is a "natural air purifier" with broad and thick leaves that have many stomata. During photosynthesis, it releases a large amount of oxygen while also absorbing carbon dioxide. If there are elderly people at home, it is recommended to keep a few pots in the bedroom to adjust the air.
Why does Kaffir lily "rot easily"? Kaffir lily has a fibrous root system with strong water storage capabilities. Even if the soil is completely dry, the roots remain moist. If watered too frequently, problems with root rot can occur over time. It is recommended to insert a stick into the soil and only water when the stick comes out dry. When the air is dry, spray water on the leaves to keep them moist and prevent them from wilting due to a lack of water.
3. Schefflera - tenacious and strong
Schefflera is also known as "butterfly ivy" and is a evergreen shrub. With 6-9 small leaves growing together, it looks like a large "duck foot," coated in bright green, and immediately brings a visual of "lush greenery." Placed in the living room, it symbolizes "tenacity and strength."
Schefflera is one of the common plants used for landscaping. Many friends wonder "why"? Actually, it's because of its powerful air purification ability, which can absorb harmful substances in the air and release oxygen.
What to do if Schefflera turns yellow? Schefflera is a relatively tough ornamental leafy plant. As long as it is cared for according to its preferences, yellowing can be avoided. Schefflera prefers a semi-shaded growing environment and should not be placed in a location with direct sunlight. Schefflera prefers a moist growing environment and should be sprayed with water on the leaves when the air is dry. As long as the roots are healthy, the air is moist, and there is scattered light, Schefflera can bring a high ornamental value.
I used to not believe in plant feng shui, but after keeping some auspicious plants that can purify the air at home, I discovered the science behind it. Because living in an environment with fresh air can relieve the stress of life and work. When in a good mood and healthy, wealth naturally comes!
