What do forget-me-nots mean in Feng Shui? This is the joining of two halves into one whole, and this can mean both a meeting of true love and true friendship. If you want to find a soul mate in your life, then simply plant a flower in the southwestern sector (or place it in the same sector of the house). After a while you will forget about loneliness.
The flower itself is considered a magical plant, which is also used in love magic. In the old days, girls often put wreaths of forget-me-nots on the heads of their lovers or used fortune telling to find out the name of their betrothed.

Lotus: symbol of wisdom and purity
The significance of the lotus in harmonizing home space is very great. The lotus flower is a symbol of the divine principle, so those who strive for spiritual life should have it in the house (it is no coincidence that it is placed in rooms for meditation and worship).
His energy and strength are great, so if a bad streak has come in your life, then place him next to you. It will inspire and give optimism, will help you believe in the best. If you have a wish and you absolutely want it to come true, then inhale the aroma of a living flower and make a wish. It will definitely come true.

They continue to circulate in the house, having a beneficial effect on its inhabitants. Thanks to this, harmony appears in relationships, peace and mutual understanding arise. Old feelings may be revived.
Where to put the flower correctly
Now you know what a lotus means in Feng Shui, and you should consider where to place it correctly. In the western part of the house, the lotus activates the energy of creativity and development, so if you need a muse, be sure to place a flower here.
Where to place a lotus to attract material wealth? The northern feng shui zone would be ideal here. You can activate it, and cash flows of prosperity will begin to be attracted to your home.
It is not recommended to place a lotus on a windowsill, since negative external energies can disrupt the functioning of the flower and it will begin to dry out (if this happens, replace it with a new one). A figurine of an elephant nearby or an aquarium or fountain will help to strengthen the lotus.
Crystal Lotus: a popular talisman
Very often, crystal lotus is used in the interior. It also transforms negative energy into positive energy and is capable of activating any area in the house. It’s very good to put it in the nursery, on the table. This way you will attract creative energy and the child will study better.

It should be noted that the talisman can be placed in the most visible place, and it will be able to neutralize any negative thoughts and emotions of your guests.
Ships and boats in paintings
The image of a ship sailing on the waves in Feng Shui is a powerful symbol that can significantly increase well-being. But only if the picture shows morning (the beginning of success) or day (the result has been achieved, you can rest). Clear weather, the sun at its zenith, as well as a calm blue sea mean that everything is in perfect order, no failures or stress are expected, all minor difficulties will be easily overcome. The sailboat should have billowing sails, and on its deck there should be a lot of gold bars and treasure chests. But you can immediately understand where to hang the painting “Sailboat”. It is better to place it in the hallway so that the ship seems to move into the room and bring happiness, success, joy and security.
In Feng Shui, the boat of abundance is not a means of transportation on water, but a real cup of wealth. It should be made of expensive metals, wide and slightly tapering at the top. Fill it with valuable artifacts, including:
You can fill the remaining space with precious or semi-precious stones and add personal gold jewelry, and put two expensive chocolates on top as a symbol of the sweet life.

Where to place peonies according to Feng Shui in the house
Peonies can contribute to the revival of old relationships between spouses. If you place freshly cut flowers in the bedroom for a while, the energy of passion and love will be activated in the life of the couple. However, you should not use peonies often, because they can create an excess of sexual energy (especially red ones), which will lead to possible betrayal.
Feng Shui paintings with peonies
A picture of peonies for the marriage of a free girl should be hung in the living room or opposite the bedroom. It is not recommended to hang it in the bedroom itself. For this purpose, use the image of red peonies. After the girl gets married, the painting needs to be removed
Where to hang peonies to improve business? The ideal place would be your office. Place the image on the north wall. Choose flowers in soft colors (pale pink or white) so as not to provoke sexual relations in the workplace.
Lilac
Lilac: October 14 – October 23
The lilac flower stands out among others for its strong aesthetic qualities. Lilac is characterized by its secular manners. Whoever was able to address the lilac in an uncivil, rude tone became an enemy of the lilac for the rest of his life, and may also pay for it. The vindictive nature of the lilac makes itself felt at the sight of her offenders; she will never forgive them. Does not like celebrations; an interesting book in a cozy, quiet room is preferable for lilacs. The lilac spirit is always hungry for intellectual food. Lilac has the ability to be a diplomat. At any moment she can come to the aid of a friend, and she will do it as tactfully as possible.
Latin name: Syringa. Categories: Ornamental trees and shrubs.
Family: olive (Oleaceae).
Motherland
Asia, South-Eastern Europe. Under natural conditions it grows exclusively in the mountains of Eurasia.
Form: woody shrub.
Description
Lilac flower is a multi-stemmed shrub, with many branches and shedding its leaves in the winter. These leaves have a simple ovoid oval shape, as well as a pointed end. Sometimes you can find lilacs with dissected, feathery leaves; the latter can stay on the plant for quite a long time. Lilac flowers have a wonderful scent, are small, and collected in paniculate inflorescences. Active selection work has led to the fact that modern lilac, in addition to lilac flowers, can have purple, pink, blue and yellow flowers.
Growing conditions
Protection from winds and open spaces are what lilacs primarily love. Also, it does not like to grow in wetlands, as well as those that are flooded in the spring or autumn season. Soil drainage must be very good; in addition, the plant prefers neutral or slightly acidic soils, with moderate humidity and high fertility. The tree trunk area of the plant should be mulched with peat. Planting is best done from the end of July to the beginning of September, in cloudy weather, or in the evening.
Application
Lilac flower has been successfully cultivated since the 16th century, and during this time it has become one of the most popular shrubs for planting in the garden and for other decorative purposes. This is largely explained by the fact that it is very beautiful and blooms for a very long time. In garden landscaping, this plant is used in group plantings, as well as in tapeworms. In addition, lilac is a very frequent guest in bouquets, and the most popular for this is the terry variety of the plant. Huge collections of lilacs are widely represented in botanical gardens in our country and around the world. Plant varieties such as common, Chinese and Persian are very often used in forcing. Lilac blooms can be achieved at any time of the year. Care As soon as the lilac is planted, the soil is mulched with humus or peat, and before that it is watered abundantly. Several times a season, the ground around the plant needs to be loosened, as a rule, this is done in the spring and during weed control. Nitrogen fertilizers begin to be given in the second year, and potassium and phosphorus fertilizers must be given in the fall, once every 2-3 years. Organics are also extremely effective. While the shoots are in the flowering stage, the lilac is watered very well, and in the summer, watering is only necessary on hot days. To make flowering more abundant, pruning is done. In early spring, and sometimes throughout the entire growing season, it is necessary to do sanitary pruning and thinning.
Reproduction
If the lilac is wild, then it must be propagated by seeds; in all other cases, this procedure is carried out using grafting and cuttings. If you need to collect seeds, this is done in October, and you can sow them immediately after cleaning, or wait until spring. In the latter case, the seeds are stratified. If propagation is carried out by cuttings, then this is necessary during the period when the plant is going through the flowering stage. The place for cutting cuttings is annual shoots. Cut cuttings are planted in a substrate, which can be perlite, sand (only if it is clean and river), as well as a mixture of sand and vermiculite. To graft lilacs, a cutting or a dormant bud is used; common lilac, Hungarian lilac, and common privet are suitable as a rootstock. Typically, grafted plants go through the growing stage in the form of bush, standard, or semi-standard forms. Usually, the trunk itself is formed in the second or third year, after the grafting has been carried out, and it can reach a height of up to 1.7 meters. You need to take care of the trunk, making sure that there is no overgrowth on the main shoot. It is worth noting that standard lilac looks very beautiful and neat. If you buy lilac seedlings, you need to make sure that they have a closed root system.

What should the picture be like?
It is necessary to pay attention not only to the symbol depicted in the picture, but also to the color, as well as the emotional sensations that arise when looking at it. The latter is an important component, since one of the main tasks of the picture is to create the right atmosphere in a certain area and the right emotional mood among the inhabitants of the house. The image should evoke positive feelings: joy, inspiration, dynamics, freedom, light, love, development, well-being, protection, etc.
You should not hang pictures with gloomy subjects, made in dark colors, with images of battles or other bloody events. Animals depicted on the canvas should not be aggressive, sick or dying, flowers should not be withered or withered, houses should not be destroyed, etc.
A painting should not be hung if it evokes negative feelings: sadness, loneliness, fear, poverty, aggression, etc. Even if an innocent-looking painting reminds you of something painful and this causes discomfort, do not hang it in your home.
Do not overuse abstract subjects: even if you like this genre and the painting evokes pleasant feelings, limit yourself to it alone, let the rest of the paintings in the house be clear and unambiguous, not burdening the imagination. Observing only abstractions day after day, you risk getting confused in your own unconscious.

White flowers symbolize purity and innocence, as well as forgiveness. The most suitable place for planting tulips in the garden is the eastern or southwestern sector.
What does a tulip symbolize in different cultures?
The Middle East is considered the birthplace of the flower. Archaeologists found its first images in the 11th century. The plant combined simplicity of form and refinement of lines, modesty and a simultaneous riot of colors. This contrast embodied the key ideas of Eastern philosophy. The flower has become a symbol of spirituality, harmony and growth.
Later, his image appears on the coat of arms of the ruling dynasty in the Ottoman Empire. The spiritual interpretation fades into the background. In its place comes the understanding of the tulip as a symbol of power.
When tulip bulbs are brought to Europe, primarily to the Netherlands, the era of tulip mania begins. The Dutch grow flowers en masse for sale; their prices go through the roof and reach incredible sizes. The price of a bulb is equal to the cost of a house. The meaning of the tulip changes again. Now it symbolizes wealth and luxury.
In the USSR they did not think about luxury, but the early flowering and unpretentiousness of the plant made it a popular gift for International Women's Day.
At first he gave in to mimosa.
The yellow balls were much cheaper. But gradually the mass forcing of bulbs began before March 8th. Every year the popularity of the bouquet of primroses increased. So it became a symbol of the first days of spring and female beauty

Also, the meaning of a lily flower depends on its color. A yellow lily speaks of gratitude, and a white one speaks of purity. And although there is an opinion that this flower has negative symbolism (this began with the European custom of branding criminals with lilies), it is often present in our gardens, bouquets and just in the house.
