The meaning of Sheflera in the house
Schefflera is a plant that can collect or accumulate energy. Some esotericists strictly prohibit keeping a flower in the house, as it can become an energy vampire. But this problem can be quickly solved if you choose the right location for the pot.
It has a number of magical properties. It has long been noted that the plant can remove negative thoughts, impart a positive attitude, and relieve fatigue after a long day of work. They also prefer to place it in rooms where children study. The plant helps to accumulate knowledge, relieve headaches and better remember information.
Lighting
Home care involves creating good lighting. The tropical plant is not able to grow in dark rooms. The best option would be to place the pot on the south side, but in summer it will have to be protected from too bright rays.
If there is no southern window sill in the house, then the choice should be made in favor of green leaf decoration. Schefflera with variegated leaves is very light-loving.
Where did the belief come from?
Many people know what a flower looks like. Some even keep it at home and know about some healing and magical properties, but where these beliefs come from remains a mystery to them.
It is believed that the first mentions appeared in texts that date back to the era of Antiquity and the Middle Ages. It was then that people began to understand that plants have beneficial properties and use this for their own purposes.
In Rus', the sheflera was noticed much later, since it simply was not present here due to the cold climate. But this does not mean at all that it will not show its wonderful properties if planted on the windowsill.
Sheflera's predictions
Sheflera can predict the future, you just need to carefully observe the behavior of the green pet. A sudden darkening of the leaves will indicate the presence of a large amount of negative energy in the apartment. In this case, you can use white magic to cleanse your home or remove the evil eye.
Discarded foliage will indicate the imminent illness of one of the household members or financial losses. So owners will have time to think about whether to invest or shift the available money. The leaves will curl up before a big scandal, so you can think about how to avoid it. But the rapid growth of sheflera is associated with an early pregnancy.

Watering should be reduced only in winter, and if the winter temperature for sheflera is minimal, then it is stopped altogether or air humidification is simply canceled.
In summer, in addition to watering the plant, caring for it also includes wiping the leaves from dust with a moistened sponge. Also in summer you should periodically ventilate the plant in the fresh air. But the cheflera should be placed so that the sun's rays do not fall on it. Let it be diffused light or partial shade.

Careful care
The condition of the plant deteriorates not only when it wants to warn its owner about approaching troubles and possible difficulties. Inadequate care can also harm its appearance. The water used for irrigation must stand for several days. Schefflera is afraid of both excess and lack of moisture.
In places where there is increased activity and outbursts of anger
appear to be acceptable, this plant should not be placed.
For example, if a person knows how to set the right direction of negative energy, he will not need a chefler. The fact is that it will begin to extinguish such impulses. As a result, its owner will not be able to solve the problem as he previously intended.

Be that as it may, experts in the field of esotericism advise every lover of house plants to purchase sheflera without any fear. As for astrology, the flower is suitable for absolutely all signs of the zodiac circle. But most of all - Aries, Sagittarius and Leo.
According to feng shui experts, in order for a plant to please all household members, it must be located on the western side of the home (the area of money and prosperity) or the northern (career area).
It is most useful to place a flower in bedrooms, as it effectively purifies the air and promotes better sleep and a good night's rest. At the same time, you need to talk to the chef, treat her tenderly and kindly.
One flower is good, but two is better. Breeding rules
Schefflera is transplanted once every two years. When transplanting, good drainage from expanded clay or ceramic fragments is required. It is best to take special soil for the plant, and replanting should be done either in the fall or in the summer.
The plant propagates mainly by seeds and cuttings, but propagation by seeds is the exception rather than the rule. They should be planted in a pot either in February or March, and until the first shoots appear, it is necessary to maintain the optimal temperature in the room (22 degrees). After the first sprouts appear, you can lower the temperature slightly - to 18 degrees.
But as mentioned above, shefflera is most often propagated by cuttings. What do I need to do? It is necessary to take cut cuttings, thoroughly treat them with a hormonal mixture and plant them in a mixture of peat and sand (in a one-to-one ratio). After this, the cuttings should be covered with a glass jar and left there at a temperature of 20 to 22 degrees. Until the cuttings are completely rooted and strengthened, they should not be given access to air.
Green decoration of the winter garden - sheflera in the house. The signs associated with this plant have always surprised experienced gardeners. For example, there is an opinion that the appearance of roots on the trunk of a plant portends a big profit for the owner. However, skeptics argue that this is just another method of reproduction - using air layering. This method is only suitable for those who already have extensive gardening experience: an incision is made on the trunk of the plant, the incision is wrapped in moss and covered with film. The film, like the soil, must be periodically wetted. A little later, roots will begin to appear on the trunk. Then you need to cut off the top along with the roots and plant it in the ground.
