Zamioculcas is an exotic visitor from the African tropics. The plant looks gorgeous thanks to its powerful dark green leaves with a glossy sheen, large size and unusual appearance. For some flower growers, individual specimens grow in height up to a meter or more, attracting attention to themselves from any part of the room.
You can place this not too capricious plant in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bedroom, the main thing is not in the children's room, since it is considered poisonous. It is necessary to ensure that the child cannot even send a piece of paper into his mouth, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. Vomiting and diarrhea after tasting zamiokulkas instead of lettuce leaves is not the most pleasant pleasure. But many people still buy this evergreen flower - it is very beautiful and personable.
Zamioculcas on the kitchen table will interfere with lunch, but on the refrigerator it is the place.
Zamioculcas got two names among the people: "dollar tree" and "flower of celibacy". Why was he given such nicknames? Here are some explanations.
The African handsome man was called "the flower of celibacy" because of his alleged ability to drive men out of the house, to brave gentlemen and grooms. However, the zamioculcas cannot be called a "muzhegon" plant, the omen has no evidence. It grows well for brides and married women in apartments, and even business men are happy to place spectacular plants in their offices. So you can buy or accept this flower without hesitation, without being afraid to remain an old maid or widow, divorcee.
The plant was named "dollar (or money) tree" for two reasons. Firstly, its leaves on a dense stem resemble coins, and there are a lot of them. Secondly, the zamioculcas slightly resembles another "money tree" - a fat woman. It is by analogy with its leaves that the nickname "dollar" stuck to the exotic. And this explanation is quite true, it has a basis.
Maybe zamioculcas looks like a fat woman, but very distantly. The similarity can only be found with a well-developed imagination. However, both this and this flower have green, oval leaves, shiny with a gloss, so you can't argue here.
Many plant owners, hoping for good luck, try to lure wealth and prosperity into their home using various rituals.
Here's what you need to do to always have money in your wallet:
- tie dollars twisted into a tube to the branches of the "dollar tree", hang cents on red strings;
- attach ruble bills rolled into tubes to the leaves, hang ruble coins;
- tie bright red threads on knots on several branches or fasten with bows;
- bury a figurine of a toad with a coin in his mouth in a pot to save money;
- during watering, talk to a flower, ask him for financial well-being.
Believe it or not in these "monetary" signs - everyone's business, but after all, no one forbids, right? What if you are lucky and the evergreen "African" will give you wealth?
