Is it auspicious to raise gardenias at home?
The blooming gardenia on the balcony is always exciting, but the feng shui controversy about it has never stopped. Is this white elf with a fragrant fragrance a mascot to enhance emotions, or is it a taboo existence with hidden secrets? When contemporary young people pursue the aesthetics of green plants, they need to understand the dual codes of traditional customs and modern science. Gardenia in traditional feng shui controversy over white flowers The thousand-year myth of old people often say that "white flowers do not enter the house", which originates from the ancient dual symbols of purity and mourning. The snow-white petals of gardenia are avoided at wedding occasions, but they are regarded as sacred objects in Buddhist halls. This contradiction just shows that color symbols change with the scene, and the key lies in understanding cultural context. Modern interpretation of the five elements restraining each other. The characteristics of white as gold in Feng Shui do have theoretical conflicts with the wood attributes of the zodiac tiger and rabbit. However, modern houses are mostly composite spaces, and elements can be reconciled by placing green plants and potted plants, such as matching red flower utensils belonging to fire, forming an energy cycle in which wood makes fire and fire suppresses gold. A maintenance taboo that cannot be ignored. Invisible crisis placed in the bedroom. Gardenia blooms at night will release strong aromatic hydrocarbons, which may cause nerve excitement in confined spaces. It is recommended to place flowering plants on ventilated balconies, or choose double-petal varieties to reduce volatile emissions. People with allergic constitutions are recommended to maintain a safe distance of more than 1 meter. The energy field with a particular orientation should not place thorny plants on the diagonal of the entry door, and the round leaf shape of gardenia meets the requirements of feng shui. However, it is necessary to avoid the "fire and gold" pattern facing the stove. The Wenchang position in the southeast is an ideal choice and can promote clarity of thinking. The three key tips for scientific maintenance: balance between light and temperature. In spring and autumn, light is scattered for 4 hours a day, and in summer, sunshade nets are used to filter strong ultraviolet rays. Maintaining 12-15 ° C in winter can prolong the flowering period. Sudden low temperatures will cause the buds to "mute", so warm water spray can be used for rescue. Water management artistic clay pots are more suitable for gardenia root respiration than plastic pots. The "fingertip detection method" is used: the soil at the second knuckle is watered thoroughly when it is dry, and ferrous sulfate is used to maintain the acidity of the soil. Remember to avoid root rot caused by stagnant water in the chassis. The secret of pruning timing Carry out shaping and pruning within 45 days after flower failure to retain the buds that grow outward. Regularly remove the old leaves at the base to enhance ventilation, and leave 3 pairs of leaves on the new branches to promote lateral branches, so that the amount of flowers in the coming year can increase by 200%.
When we tear off the traditional label, gardenia is just an ordinary plant that needs to be understood. Using scientific maintenance to crack superstitious rumors and let the touch of pure white bloom in the right position is the true wisdom of feng shui. After all, the good and bad luck of plants lies in people, not in flowers. The process of careful cultivation itself creates beautiful energy.
