Many people ask whether it is worth growing cacti at home. There are various signs about these plants, but even from them it is impossible to determine whether it is good or bad to keep them near you. For a home, a cactus can become both a protector and a source of negativity. It depends on its location, the character of the person and the purposes for which it is used.
Cacti are unusual exotic plants that are easy to care for.
Home cactus: benefits and harm
In modern homes, you can find cacti - houseplants - quite often. The cactus is of tropical origin, which is responsible for its unusual appearance. It has no leaves at all and instead of them the cactus has many spines; the cactus has a large, fleshy trunk. Some cacti are blooming.
The unusual appearance of this plant surprises and captivates at the same time. It is worth noting that there is a huge variety of cacti in the world and each should be treated differently - some are useful for humans, others are not. Many argue that despite the abundance of “threatening” thorns, this plant has powerful energy.
Expert flower growers and florists say: the larger and longer the needles of a cactus, the more dangerous it is and the more aggressive its energy is. It has also been noted that the cactus can have a very negative influence on weak-willed people (fearful, suspicious, weak and indecisive). This is why people with social communication problems, obsessive thoughts and phobias should avoid having a cactus at home.
Surprisingly, a self-confident and strong-character person can only be nourished and endowed with positive traits by the energy of a cactus: fearlessness, determination, wisdom. The cactus cannot have any other negative effects on such an owner.
It is impossible to say confidently and accurately that a cactus is a bad plant for the home. Indeed, under a layer of thorns, the cactus has a thick trunk filled with moisture. It is this factor that indicates that the plant has “dual” energy (good and bad).
Benefits of cactus:
- The plant can act as a kind of “shield” that reflects bad energy.
- While in the house, the cactus can absorb all negative and negative influences, improving the atmosphere.
- In homes where many quarrels constantly arise, cacti can “take upon themselves” outbursts of aggression and anger, emotions from resentment and feelings of revenge.
- A cactus located close to the workplace can improve a person’s concentration and mental activity. As a result, he is able to more easily solve complex problems, make decisions and “gather thoughts into a pile.”
INTERESTING: One of the most unusual opinions says that “thieves avoid houses” where there are a lot of cacti. Whether this is true or not has not been definitely proven. It is also not known for what reasons this happens: on an energetic level or because thorny plants become an obstacle to a thief’s entry into the house through the windowsill.

Bloom before someone's death
Signs and superstitions related to cacti are quite contradictory in nature. It is usually believed that rare flowers on this plant certainly promise happiness and represent a good sign.
At the same time, a succulent can also bloom due to negative turns of fate, for example, the death of a relative or loved one.
In any case, whether to take some beliefs seriously or not is something everyone decides for themselves. What a person believes in, happens.
The most important thing in keeping houseplants is how a person treats them. If household members take care of their prickly friends with all love and care, then cacti will protect the house from any negativity.
Is it possible to keep cacti at home?
It is possible and sometimes even necessary to keep a cactus in the house. However, you need to choose the right plant for your home, depending on the age of the cactus, its size and shape. Of course, it is best to purchase a young plant, a cutting taken from a friend or purchased in a store.
If you are not sure that you can provide the flower with proper care and give your love, it is better to limit yourself from such a purchase. If you have never encountered cacti, choose the first plant that is not large, with small needles.
INTERESTING: Some scientific studies prove that plants respond not only to the emotional state of their owner, but also to his voice. Therefore, frequent conversations with the cactus will calm it down and allow it to exude only positive energy.
A good place in the house for a cactus:
- Kitchen (window sill, shelf, countertop) - the plant will absorb negativity that can arise between household members, fatigue and emotions of resentment.
- Window sill - here the plant will receive the necessary portion of light and will not be able to harm it with its negative energy, since it will be located far from the person.
- On the desktop , the plant will “absorb” all the negative influences of work: heavy thoughts, anger from an unresolved task and disappointment.
- Near the computer is the most “popular” place for a cactus. It is known that the plant absorbs negative waves emanating from the monitor and modem.
- The hallway (note that there must be light in it) - here the cactus can “absorb” the negative energy that comes into the house with you from work, the street, and so on.
Bad place in the house for a cactus:
- Bedroom - especially when it comes to the bed. A cactus placed near the bed can negatively affect healthy sleep, cause migraines, digestive disorders and promote sexual dysfunction.
- Children's room - in addition to the fact that cactus spines can be traumatic for a child, the cactus and the child are often enemies for each other only because children are not able to appreciate the importance of the plant. Therefore, the cactus can negatively affect them, developing aggression and other qualities.
- A relaxation room, living room or hall - in a word, a room where a person tries to relax. The presence of a cactus in this case can “spoil” the peace.
Blooming cactus
Signs related to money
As you know, a succulent feeds on human energy and emotions. This list may include: anger, joy, despair, happiness, but not monetary energy. Plants with round leaves, such as Crassula (money tree), are suitable for this energy.
But there is also another version. Many people say that thorns attract money . They seem to be impaled on the sharp needles of this plant. Therefore, it is better to keep it in offices, banks and other institutions where a lot of money is circulating.

Why do you need a cactus in the house?
A cactus is needed in the house if:
- You want to find out what kind of energy is present in your home: bad or good. If the atmosphere is favorable, the plant will bloom.
- In addition, caring for and monitoring the growth of a cactus is very interesting. The plant is not whimsical and does not require extreme attention.
- If you love your cactus, it will have a positive effect on your psyche, if not, vice versa. If you “don’t like” your cactus, donate it or sell it.
- If you are a “fickle” person (you have a lot of doubts and insecurities), a cactus will help you find your “core” and reveal only positive qualities in you.
- It is also believed that the cactus is a person’s protector from otherworldly forces, evil and all evil spirits.

Cacti in the house according to Feng Shui: can you keep them at home?
It’s worth noting right away that the cactus is a “capricious” plant. From the first seconds it may fall in love, or it may hate its “master”. It is very simple to determine the attitude of a plant towards itself:
- If you feel bad in the room where the cactus is located, the plant is not suitable for you.
- If, on the contrary, you feel cheerful and cheerful, you have ideal compatibility with a cactus.
Feng Shui (the ancient Chinese teaching about the harmony of man with the outside world) does not encourage a person to have a cactus in his house. The teaching adheres to the point of view that the cactus drives away such favorable energy “Qi”.
If you respect Feng Shui, in such cases the cactus should be placed in places of the house with “negative energy”, for example: a flight of stairs, steps going down, a toilet and a bathroom (both in the room and opposite the room, because in the toilet and bathroom water leaves, therefore, “takes with it” good and bad). In such places, the cactus will be a barrier that does not allow the good to leave and attracts the bad.
INTERESTING: Many believe that cactus spines can be used to make a talisman. To do this, they are collected and placed in a special glass flask, which they carry with them, or they are buried in the ground in front of the house. This amulet protects against ill-wishers and envious people. Another important point is that a blooming cactus is needed in any home, everywhere and always. The plant blooms extremely rarely and therefore can bring joy to your home.
