Tradescantia omens and superstitions.

Tradescantia is a beautiful, fast-growing, unpretentious plant originative from North America. Among the people, it is credited with unique abilities - a flower is able to have a beneficial effect on the life of a person who cares about it: to protect his house, to support him in illness. Tradescantia signs and omens date back to the 18th century, when this flower was brought to Europe.

Is it worth keeping Tradescantia at home?

Some decorative plants have a number of negative properties, so they are recommended to be treated with caution, such as the tropical beauty of clivia.

As for the tradescantia, according to signs and superstitions, it can be kept at home without fear, given some of the features of the flower:
1. Tradescantia can serve as a living indicator of pathogenic zones: if a plant withers, gets sick, does not grow for no reason, then perhaps this means that you have placed the pot in the wrong place. Rearrange the flower, and try not to spend at least hours of rest in this area of ​​the room, if there is no way to avoid it altogether.
2. Some signs claim that Tradescantia is capable of increasing the owner's predisposition to idle chatter and idle pastime. But you can formulate a sign in another way: the plant has a relaxing effect on the owner, and this is not always a harmful property, the main thing is to use it wisely and at the right time.
3. Many types of Tradescantia are classed with loaches. This is probably why they began to attribute to the flower the ability to spoil the owner's personal life and "discourage" men from her. However, these qualities are inherent in liana-like ivy, while Tradescantia is rather a herb with creeping lashes.

In general, signs and superstitions say that tradescantia is extremely useful in the house: it protects the hearth from any negative influences, including the presence of various energy entities, protects households from evil gossip and envy.

If the level of negativity becomes too high, the tradescantia plant becomes sick, which serves as a signal to the owner. Sometimes it is not easy to “figure out” whose evil thoughts Tradescantia neutralizes with such detriment to itself.

Unlike many exotic indoor plants, Tradescantia is not poisonous, so it can be kept in a nursery.

Tradescantia: signs and superstitions depending on the species.

The genus Tradescantia, according to various classifications, includes from one to five hundred varieties, but in most areas five to seven plant species are most popular. Observant amateur flower growers over time were able to formulate the most characteristic signs for each variety:
• Tradescantia Zebrina neutralizes the energy impulses of envious people well, so it is best to keep it on windows or at the entrance, using it as a kind of shield from external influences.
• Tradescantia Andersoniana helps fight depression, adds optimism, and in addition, smoothes out conflicts from the category of "fathers and children."
• Tradescantia Blosssefeldiana is "responsible" for attracting good luck and success at the household level: so that all household chores are done quickly, without unnecessary effort.
• Tradescantia Virginiana has a beneficial effect on insecure people: it adds decisiveness to the owner, confidence in their own strength.
• Tradescantia Setcreasea Purpurea (a plant with purple leaves) is notorious: it is believed that where setcreasea grows, there will never be peace between relatives. The reason for this is the following: too active absorption of negative energy, which the violet tradescantia does not have time to process and begins to radiate it back. If you really want to replenish your collection with a purple bush, then it is better to choose non-residential premises for its "habitation".

Scientific studies have found that Tradescantia is a source of many vitamins, therefore it is used as a top dressing for poultry and even added to salads. The leaves of the plant have a bactericidal, hemostatic effect: they, like plantain, can be used instead of a patch.

Stromanthe flower: signs and superstitions.

The stromanthe is decorated with elongated, variegated leaves, as if painted by an artist, due to which florists and some botanists often rank it among the vast family of Tradescantia. In fact, the stromanthe belongs to the arrowroot genus, its closest relatives are ktenanta, calathea.

However, these plants are identified not only because of their decorative properties. Signs and superstitions about stromanthe and tradescantia are also of a similar nature:
• Stromanthe has a beneficial effect on children: it relieves excessive excitability, promotes perseverance, and normalizes sleep.
• For elderly or weakened people, the plant energizes, gives strength.
• Stromanthe harmonizes the atmosphere in the house, leveling relations between relatives and preventing the penetration of external negativity.

One of the most popular magical properties of stromanthe is the ability to increase cash flow. But in order for a flower to start attracting financial luck, it must live in the house for some time, and the owner needs to contact his “pet” more often.

How to care for Tradescantia properly?

The flower easily adapts to lighting levels, watering schedule and soil composition. However, the rules for caring for Tradescantia are also shrouded in superstition, and some of the signs associated with caring for the plant find quite scientific confirmation.

Feng Shui experts recommend spraying the leaves of the Tradescantia at least twice a week and wiping them with a cotton tissue, and then simply with your fingers, as if stroking. Water cleanses the plant not only of physical, but also of energy pollution, which Tradescantia takes on, protecting the owner.

Experienced flower growers always give their flower pets personal names, which they use when communicating with flowers. For Tradescantia, it is better to choose a sonorous, colorful name that will reflect the most important interests of the owner: well, for example, if you call a bush Avicenna, then its main "concern" will be the well-being of the household.

You can laugh at the superstitious beliefs about Tradescantia, which pays good for sensitive attitude, but botanists have long noticed that plants have a certain level of empathy, that is, they feel the mood of people.

For flower growers who treat their green friends with love, talk, console them during an illness, any sprout blossoms splendidly. And in an angry, nervous, indifferent atmosphere, flowers wither, despite the sufficient amount of light, water and minerals.
