Geranium: signs and superstitions

Pelargonium or geranium is a houseplant that is widespread in many countries. It can often be found not only at home, but also in schools, institutes, offices and even clinics. Its bright, beautiful flowers are uplifting and pleasing to the eye, but some people doubt the safety of such a neighborhood. That is why today we will talk about popular signs and superstitions about geraniums for the home. But we can assure you right away: growing pelargonium definitely does not threaten anything bad. There are just a few popular beliefs, the nuances of which we will now explain.

Can you keep geranium at home?

The most common question that superstitious people ask is: is it ok to keep geraniums at home? Signs and superstitions answer unequivocally – yes, it is! The leaves, stems and juice of this plant are not poisonous, as, for example, Ficus Benjamina, so it can be kept even in an apartment where there are pets and small children. At all times, it was believed that geranium cleanses the air of various bacteria, and also effectively eliminates unpleasant odors - maybe that is why in old times it could often be found on the windowsills of hospitals, clinics, canteens and other government institutions.

And signs and superstitions about geranium in a Feng Shui house say that in addition to healing properties, this plant also has magical properties: it can harmonize relations between spouses, positively influence the energy of a home, and bring financial well-being. In addition, this flower does not know how to "scare away men", as, for example, the schlumbergera. And in general, it’s impossible to say anything bad about pelargonium in general.

But it’s probably worth considering the properties of the plant depending on its color in more detail.

White geranium omens and superstitions

White color symbolizes purity and innocence; therefore the main magical properties of snow-white geranium are associated with children, pregnancy, motherhood. So, for example, it is recommended to put this flower in the children's room so that little fidgets fall asleep faster and do not suffer from nightmares. However, the plant will affect the sleep of adults in a similar way. Women who want to become mothers as soon as possible are also recommended to keep white pelargonium in the matrimonial bedroom.

The second, less common property of such a flower is protection. However, there is still debate about whether this white houseplant can really become a reliable amulet against evil forces. But even without this magical property, snow-white geranium is still a good choice as a houseplant for homes where married couples or families with children live.

Keeping a pink geranium

There are some signs and superstitions about pink geraniums. Since ancient times, it has been considered the patroness of the family, marriage, love, marital happiness.

Esotericists recommend starting pink pelargonium when family life cracks: it is believed that the plant contributes to building relationships, and spouses do not divorce, even if it seems to them that the marriage cannot be saved. Also, the geranium of this delicate color is a powerful amulet against the intrigues of rivals who are able to make a spell or perform any other squabble ritual.

Today, red geranium essential oil is effectively used in cosmetology and aromatherapy, but the living plant has no less miraculous properties.
