A large family of cactus is shrouded in numerous beliefs, the most popular of which are signs when a cactus has bloomed.

Chinese ideas about cactuses.

The Feng Shui teaching played a significant role in the mystical ideas about cactus. Chinese practitioners have developed an ambiguous attitude towards the unusual houseplant.

On the one hand, cactus plants are characterized by a tendency to accumulate, use water carefully, therefore, the flower is endowed with the ability to stimulate the growth of monetary wealth. Feng Shui philosophy knows many methods for successful business growth, and cactus is one of them.

On the other hand, the unapproachable, even aggressive appearance of the plant gave it a bad name: it is believed that it provokes quarrels and scandals in the family. Sharp objects, including thorns, symbolize the negative Sha energy. Therefore, for living premises, it is recommended to choose desert varieties that are characterized by small size or complete absence of prickles: ariocarpus, lophophora and others.

However, the eastern sages figured out how to use the lack of a plant for the good: if you put pots with "green hedgehogs" in a row on the windowsill, then their prickles will protect the house from external negative energy - accidental or even deliberately sent to you by an ill-wisher.

And in order to attract wealth, the cactus should be settled in the southeastern sector of the apartment.
