It is believed that Monday is a bad day to receive a flowerpot as a gift. On this day, you can take on other people's fears and negative thoughts along with the flower.

Also, don't take old flowerpots, as they get used to the previous environment. In a new home, it may be difficult for them to adjust to the new atmosphere.

If you are given a gift of potted flowers that are sick or not feeling well, it is better not to accept it. Otherwise, the plant can drain vitality and health from the person.

In addition, you shouldn't accept potted plants from someone you don't trust. If you do accept such a gift, give coins or another gift in return.

Violets are not the best gift, although they act as a lucky family talisman. This plant is very sensitive to changes in energy, so it is allowed to be given to relatives. Strangers can only be given violets that were immediately purchased in a store.

Palm trees and indoor plants that curl and "creep", i.e. vines and ivy, are considered to be bad luck and lead to quarrels, conflicts and divorce.

Under no circumstances should you give a money tree from your home to envious friends, jealous relatives, or colleagues. This will deprive you of your energy and financial well-being.
