Modern people, due to lack of time, have flowers in their apartment less and less often. So the undeservedly forgotten geranium was expelled from the windowsills, but in vain. This plant not only enriches the room with oxygen and pleases the eye with its beauty, but can also become a good amulet against dark forces for all family members. The sign of geranium in the house promises many interesting and favorable events in the life of its owner.
What does the flower symbolize?
Among the people, the iconic plant received several additional names: pelargonium, crane grass. Geranium represents beauty, health, love, the desire for self-improvement, vigor and inexhaustible vitality. The flower is also used as a component for the preparation of medicines.
Pelargonium at home signifies:
- harmony, idyll, mutual understanding between spouses. Geranium as a gift to newlyweds on their wedding day will help maintain a happy marriage;
- crane bird smoothes out conflict situations;
- geranium can become a good friend, a psychologist, it blocks negative energy, prevents depression, helps cope with stress after a hard day at work, like ivy leaves, which are able to absorb negative emotions;
- a pleasant aroma repels evil spirits, protects the house from external negative influences, slander, and damage.
Ancient beliefs and signs say that the more often and more abundantly a sacred plant blooms, the more negative impulses accumulate in the apartment. If pelargonium is in no hurry to bloom, this is a good sign. This means that peace and prosperity reign in the family.
