Preamble:
In recent years, with the enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection, more and more people have begun to raise green plants and plant potted plants at home, and many people have tried to plant various trees at home.
However, it should be noted that not all trees are suitable for planting at home, and some trees are even rumored to be "poor trees" and "bad trees", which are not suitable for home at all.
Take the older generation often say that "five trees enter the house, people are poor and the family is ruined", is there a certain scientific basis for this sentence? If so, then which trees will "defeat the poor"?
[Five trees enter the house, people are poor and the family is defeated]
Everyone has heard the phrase "five trees enter the house, and the poor and the family loses", but in fact, this is just a folk legend and has no scientific basis. The so-called "five trees" refer to banyan, metasequoia, pine, willow and hypericum.
It is said that if these five kinds of trees are planted in the home, it is easy to attract poverty, make it difficult for the children of the family to get ahead, and even affect the family's financial fortune and feng shui.
Of course, this is just a superstitious saying, trees and people's fate are not directly related, and planting trees can add vitality to the environment and improve home feng shui.
[The impact of trees from a scientific perspective]
Although there are many superstitious beliefs about trees in traditional culture, from a scientific point of view, it is impossible for a tree to directly affect the fate of the family and the rotation of feng shui.
On the contrary, planting the right greenery and trees has a positive impact on the family, such as increasing the humidity of indoor air, absorbing harmful gases, and improving people's physical and mental health.
Therefore, when choosing green plants and trees at home, you may wish to choose plants suitable for the home environment from a scientific point of view, such as tiger pill orchid, spider plant, fortune tree, etc., these plants are not only easy to feed, but also have a good decorative effect.
[Five types of trees are not suitable for home]
Although it is only a superstitious saying that "five trees enter the house, the poor and the family are ruined", it is true that there are some trees that are not suitable for home, such as banyan, metasequoia, pine, willow and hypericum.
- Banyan tree:
In traditional Chinese culture, the banyan tree does have many positive meanings, such as symbolizing longevity, health, wealth and prosperity, etc., however, the roots of the banyan tree are very tenacious, if placed indoors, the root system will continue to grow downward, which will have a certain impact on the feng shui and architectural structure of the home.
Moreover, although the banyan tree can absorb some harmful gases, its sap has a certain stimulating effect on the human body, and it is not suitable for placing it at home.
- Mizusugi
Metasequoia is a water-loving plant, in the process of growth, it needs to be soaked in water for a long time, for the home environment, the metasequoia in the pot is very easy to breed mosquitoes, and the organic matter released by metasequoia will have a certain impact on human health.
Therefore, it is generally not recommended for families to keep metasequoia indoors.
- Pine tree:
In the traditional culture of the mainland, the pine tree symbolizes the positive qualities such as perseverance and perseverance, not afraid of difficulties, however, the pollen content of pine trees is relatively high, and some people will be allergic to tree pollen, leading to allergic rhinitis and other diseases, and the pine itself also has some aromatic components, if it is exposed for a long time, it is not very good for the body.
So, especially for rhinitis sufferers, it is better not to leave pine trees at home.
- Willow:
In traditional culture, willow is known as "willow leaf magic", which means smart and clever, but willow is also an allergen, when catkins fall, it is easy to cause respiratory allergic symptoms and cause a certain impact on human health.
So, if you have an allergic disease in your family, it is better not to choose willow.
- Hyperic
Hypericum is a common ornamental plant that is loved by many people, however, the aroma released by hypericum has a certain effect on wealth, some people are allergic to pollen, and long-term contact with hypericum will aggravate allergy symptoms, which is not good for health.
Moreover, hypericum also has a certain toxicity, which will cause some harm to the body if eaten by mistake.
Therefore, if you have children or pets at home, it is best not to choose hypericum.
Seeing this, everyone should understand that "five trees into the house, poor people and ruined" is just a kind of folklore, and there is no scientific basis, when choosing to plant trees, you should start from a scientific point of view, according to the home environment and your own preferences to make a choice.
No matter what kind of tree it is, it needs to be cared for with our hearts, and only when it grows in a good environment can it bring us the greatest benefits.
Therefore, in the process of planting trees at home, we may wish to learn more about the habits and maintenance methods of each plant, give them proper care, make them a scenery of our home, and add a peaceful power to the health and safety of our family.
At the end of the article, I hope that everyone can have a rational and tolerant heart, look at everything around them with a scientific attitude, and hope that everyone can maintain a love for life and a positive heart in their own lives, and live a happy life with their families.
