Each indoor flower has its own requirements for soil and lighting, and its own special energy. One group of plants feels comfortable in office spaces, the other in apartments. Ogonyok belongs to the type of flowers that love comfort. It grows well and blooms regularly only in those homes where there is a friendly environment.
Features of the flower
The scientific name of the green beauty in Latin is Impatiens. In the world it is known as balsam. In nature, this moisture-loving flower grows in the tropics and subtropical zones of Africa and Asia. Some varieties can be found in America.
Europe became acquainted with this representative of the subtropical flora at the end of the 16th century. Having received a miniature bush as a gift, Queen Elizabeth I of England was fascinated by its noble appearance, especially the “sugar tears” on the stems.
Impatiens came to Russia about 200 years ago. While caring for the flower, people noticed: in conditions of high humidity, droplets of crystallized juice appear on the edges of its leaves. This is how the name “Vanka Mokry” spread among the people. Due to the green beauty's ability to bloom 5-6 months a year, it was called the Eternal Flower.
The height of the bush is from 30 to 70 cm. Balsams have green or reddish-green fleshy leaves. Small showy flowers are formed in their axils. They can be red, pink, orange. Some varieties of impatiens have spotted flowers. The popular popular name Impatiens (Spark) is associated with the bright color of its buds.
This unpretentious, profusely flowering representative of the tropics has acquired interesting features. The shape of the petals of the Fire resembles a heart. Because of this feature, rumor has dubbed him an assistant in love affairs.
The bush received another name - "Touch-me-not" - because of its fruit boxes. As soon as you touch the small dry pod, it will burst and scatter the seeds.
There are some negative rumors regarding the green favorite of housewives. After familiarizing yourself with the beliefs, you will decide who should give the Eternal Flower.
Flowers in the house and signs
All flower lovers are familiar with the following names: tradescantia, sansevieria, balsam. Really nice names? My favorite balsam has always seemed so fragrant, unearthly and aromatic to me. And quite suddenly I learned that among the people the flower is called “wet vanka.” And sansevieria is called “pike tail”. Although balsam comes from the tropics, and sansevieria comes from Africa. Where did these names come from? Popular rumor christened the flowers in the house and signs precisely and clearly, endowing them with mystical and mysterious qualities.
There is such a sign that ordinary ivy, which can be found in our south, brings misfortune to the house. The tropical scindapsus liana, which is very popular, brings quarrels into the house and is the culprit of divorce.
A long time ago, when I was visiting, I started talking about the signs of flowers, and told them about these superstitions and signs. One of the men suddenly remembered and talked about how his family actually broke up at one time. His wife was a passionate lover of scindapsus and grew the vine at home.
Do you believe in such signs? Personally, I doubt that some kind of vine can cause a split in family relationships, because of which the husband will leave home? To some extent, signs can be trusted, because these observations are based on the experience of many generations. They notice it for a long time, and that’s how a sign is born.
It is believed that primrose and Uzumbara violet bring quarrels, a nervous atmosphere into the house, and cause irritation among residents. Do you believe such signs? Probably, many of us will not agree with such signs at all. The leaves of these flowers are covered with villi, and dust accumulates in them. Dust can only be removed with flowers, and this leads to the death of the plant. It is dust that causes allergies. This is why allergies cause problems at home.
This also applies to asparagus pinnate and its hairy leaves. And the beautiful plant is not to blame at all! Another sign: it is undesirable to keep Chinese roses and ficus in the house, this is a disease. They are especially “harmful” for people with cardiovascular diseases. Let's try to find the reason for this dislike.
Even schoolchildren know that all flowers emit carbon dioxide in the dark. Larger plants naturally emit more carbon dioxide. That is why in a room at night where there are such flowers, it becomes stuffy for people with heart problems, it becomes difficult for them to breathe. During the day, these flowers release oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide and purify the air. This means that this is not a bad omen, but a superstition. This leads to the conclusion that you simply shouldn’t place plants in the bedroom; they should be taken to another room while you sleep.

Signs about Vanka Mokroy
People's love for this plant is expressed in various beliefs: signs about the Vanka Mokry flower mainly come down to its positive effect on humans.

When you want to cleanse the energy in the house (after previous occupants, for example, or after a long series of quarrels and insults), in addition to generally accepted measures, you can purchase Vanka Mokrogo. He does an excellent job of restoring a positive aura in the house. The same applies to offices and workrooms - if you feel tension and an unhealthy atmosphere, place Balsam on your desk or window, you will soon notice pleasant changes.

It is believed that Balsam is especially favorable to guys and men. It brings good luck to the male half of humanity:
- helps guys become courageous;
- makes men lucky;
- bestows strength and courage;
- strengthens physical health.
Bad omens
There is only one “fly in the ointment” in the reputation of a peace-loving and pretty flower. A popular superstition says that if you put Vanka Mokroy in the house, your husband will soon become addicted to drinking. This is explained by the fact that the flower loves watering, i.e. loves to drink. Naturally, it is impossible to say that this is really the case. Still, the problem of the development of alcoholism has more compelling reasons.
They also believe that when a flower begins to wither, this is an indicator of an unhealthy atmosphere in the house, because it is extremely sensitive to scandals around, constant dissatisfaction of the residents of the house, and so on. Perhaps you should think about it, take measures to improve your relationship with your significant other, children, etc. If Vanka starts to bloom again, it means everything is fine.
Although the death of Balsam can also be associated with improper care: poor-quality soil in the pot, proximity to other plants, parasites spider mites and scale insects, lack of moisture and light, etc.
Assistant in creative affairs
Ogonyok does not give the fair sex easy victories. Lazy and envious women will not receive patronage from the Eternal Flower, but honest and hardworking girls and ladies can safely have balsams with flowers of different shades.
The wet inhabitant of the flowerpot helps to reveal the creative potential of its owners. If inspiration plays an important role in your work , decorate your office and apartment with flowerpots with Light .
Superstitions say that it is not advisable for a mother with many children to purchase Ogonyok. Otherwise, a woman may lose seriousness and drown in entertainment. She will have no time for children, but the tropical handsome man will help the free girl find a husband. Since the Eternal Flower loves harmony, it will scare away frivolous guys and despotic individuals from its owner.
Representatives of creative professions (writers, designers) will feel a surge of strength and vigor if they place a variety of Evergreen with crimson flowers in their bedroom. Place plants with bright red buds in the room where you create your works. These simple actions will protect you from nervous exhaustion, creative stagnation and the bad wishes of envious people.
Feng Shui meaning
According to Feng Shui, it is recommended to place the pot in crowded places, especially strangers. This could be a living room, dining room, hall, kitchen or window in the hallway. It is in these places that negative energy accumulates, and the flower is able to absorb negative emanations.
According to Feng Shui:
- creates favorable energy;
- gives activity to slow people;
- balances the irritated;
- relieves fatigue;
- brings peace and prosperity;
- enhances positive emotions.
If the pot is in the bedroom, it affects the activation of male powers. A pot of balsam in the nursery helps get rid of laziness and inattention. Experts do not recommend using red pots for planting and placing the plant close to the bed.
Impact on marital happiness
If you believe the signs, the positive qualities of Ogonyok are most fully revealed in houses where husband and wife dote on each other.
A green guest from the tropics feels the energy of the home and its inhabitants. If you have recently legalized your relationship with your significant other, place a beautiful flowerpot with an Eternal Flower on the windowsill of your bedroom.
According to the signs, everyone who plans to have this flower should know how balsam behaves in the house.
- The appearance of a miniature bush is an indicator of family well-being. If your relationship with your spouse is not marred by jealousy and scandals, your green indoor pet will grow well and bloom profusely. If a conflict is brewing in the family, Ogonyok sheds its leaves and produces few flowers. In the old days, the drying up of the Everbloom in the home of a young couple was considered a bad sign. The folk myth hinted that Ogonyok could not stand the betrayal of one of the spouses.
- The flower helps eliminate male infertility.
- One of the positive properties of balsam is its ability to revive marital passion. If your marriage is many years old, and your chosen one has forgotten what ardent confessions are, place several balsams in the kitchen, living room and bedroom. Soon tenderness and romance will return to your relationship with your husband.
The healing properties of Vanka Mokroy
In addition to its ability to influence people and the home atmosphere, Vanka Mokry is also valued for its healing properties.
Its numerous leaves are rich in flavonoids. These substances, in addition to other positive properties, disinfect the air. Maybe for this reason, people have long noticed that if there is Balsam in the house, family members get sick less, and attributed this to the “superpowers” of the plant.
The flower is also saturated with tannins, alkaloids, and ascorbic acids.
Together with other herbs, a healing decoction was made from Balsam to treat festering wounds, and it was used as an anti-inflammatory agent. To get rid of kidney and gallstones, they also took a decoction of Balsam. It is able to crush and help remove stones from the body.
For rheumatism, it is recommended to give yourself a bath with a decoction of Vanka Mokrogo. If you sit in such a healing bath after waking up, joint pain will not bother you all day long.
Of course, before using Balsam for medicinal purposes, you need to consult a doctor. Children and pregnant women should not use it at all.
Conflicting signs
There are negative signs regarding Ogonyok. One of the myths: a man who is given a wet Vanka will start drinking. Due to the flower’s love of moisture, the man next to him under the same roof develops a craving for alcoholism.
This myth has no serious basis. The sign reflected an observation of reality: there are many men in the world who drink. Some of them are flower growers, but you should not associate the Eternal Flower with the vices of the stronger half of humanity.
Both in the old days and now, different varieties of Ogonyok can be seen in the offices of successful businessmen, famous actors, and artists. These people are far from alcohol addiction.
One of the signs does not advise widows to breed Vanka in their homes. Otherwise, the green pet will drown the inconsolable widow in tears, not allowing her to say goodbye to the memories of the past.

Vanka Mokry is a symbol of pleasant surprises
Positive
If Vanka Mokry is brought into the house early in the morning, he will bring a lot of luck to the whole family.
It is important who brought the plant and who chose it. A gift from a loved one or family member will become a talisman of good luck and strengthen the home’s defenses against negativity. It is better for the plant to gradually grow in the house (from a sprout to a large bush).
Popular superstition says: “Vanka is at the threshold, the enemy is at the door.” If you place a flower at the front door, it can ward off evil forces.
Well-groomed balsam is a sign of well-being. The plant reflects the atmosphere in the family and its wealth. If in the first year a new flowerpot begins to bloom, this is a sign of quick profit and good luck that will not leave the house for a whole year.
It’s a good sign when two balsams, planted at the same time, bloom at once. For young people, this is a sign of love luck. Soon a promising partner will appear in their destiny.
People say “it blooms and smells like Vanka Mokry.” If a sick plant suddenly revives and recovers, it means a quick recovery for the household.
Gift rules
The light can be given to a married couple, a single man, an active business lady and a young lady “in search”.
If a mother living in a happy marriage gives her adult daughter a rooted cutting of the Everbloom, the girl will soon meet her betrothed.
A man who has a reputation as a ladies' man should not give Vanka as a gift. Otherwise, the bright energy of the flower will conflict with the base desires of its owner. The bush may fade.
According to superstitions, you should not accept the Touch-me-not as a gift from a widow or a sick woman. It is not advisable to take flower cuttings from an apartment where theft has recently occurred. A family in which a premature baby was born does not give flowers to their relatives for a year.
Whether the energy potential of the Eternal Blossom can be revealed in your home depends not only on the personality of the donor. To ensure that your favorite varieties of balsams delight you with long-lasting flowering, refrain from scandals and properly care for the bushes.
