Cactus is a green plant with many thorns. It requires only minimal maintenance. In the era of global computerization, a cactus is considered an excellent protection against electromagnetic radiation, so it would be quite appropriate to present it to a business person in the office. Nevertheless, the cactus as a present causes a lot of controversy. This is due to some signs and superstitions.
Signs that do not recommend giving cacti
Cacti in the house spoil the owner's character. At first glance, this folk omen seems rather stupid. However, many did notice a change in the character of people who devote a lot of time to growing and caring for thorny plants.
Another sign states the following: if a girl receives a cactus as a gift, she will not find marital happiness. This superstition is due to the fact that the character of the owner of this plant can change, that is, she can become more rigid, active or even more aggressive. Accordingly, such qualities are unlikely to help a girl become a soft and loving wife.
It is believed that cacti are "kicked out" of men from the house. Believe it or not, it's up to you. However, many happy families breed these plants at home.
It is also believed that cacti thrive and grow only where there is an accumulation of negative energy. Conversely, in a house with a good atmosphere, these plants will quickly wither away. It is quite possible that there is some truth in this folk omen, because even in the past centuries, botanists discovered the relationship between plant growth and the energy background.
There is an opinion that cacti are suitable only for people with a domineering and tough character. In the East, it is believed that different plants are suitable for different people. It is possible that this sign also has a right to exist. Since a cactus feeds on negative emotions, it cannot fully receive them from a soft and kind person.
However, people who breed these thorny plants laugh at such signs. They claim that cacti help to concentrate thoughts, relieve fatigue, loss of energy, headache, and simply please the eye. And according to people who practice yoga, the cactus belongs to mystical plants. He teaches patience, and also contributes to the strengthening of both body and spirit with his energy.
Who can you give a cactus to?
According to the eastern calendar, this thorny plant corresponds to the year of the Dragon. Therefore, it is great for people born this year, especially between mid-January and early February.
In addition, the cactus is suitable for melancholic and phlegmatic people, as well as for those who feel constant fatigue and fatigue. It is possible that it will help its owner recharge and become a more active person.
However, before donating this plant, you need to think carefully whether it will be interesting as a present. Perhaps it is best to give cacti only to people who are fond of growing indoor plants, collecting them. Indeed, despite the unpretentiousness of the cactus, it still needs at least minimal care.
