Flower pots not only add vibrant beauty to your home, bringing life and a fresh feel of spring, but they are also considered a symbol of good luck for the new year. Spring is a season of new growth and blossoming. Therefore, decorating your space with flower pots and plants adds a touch of green and a refreshing scent to welcome the spring.
There are many types of flower pots available for sale during the Lunar New Year, with various prices, styles, and species for you to choose from. Many people believe that having more plants in the house brings new energy and luck for the new year. Therefore, selecting the right flower pots and plants for decoration requires attention, as it can affect the psyche of the family members. This is especially important if you are a newlywed or living with picky relatives. Buying the right flower pots is crucial to avoid dampening the festive spirit:
Many beautiful plants are poisonous, so be careful to avoid poisoning during Tet
Avoid buying toxic plants and flowers
Many types of flower pots contain toxic substances that can accidentally poison pets or be ingested by young children. Therefore, when buying plants, you should be aware of the poisonous types, including bamboo, dragon fruit, corn plants, tiger balm, azalea, orchids, etc.
These plants have beautiful flowers but contain toxins that can cause nausea and vomiting. Therefore, if you have young children, you need to be cautious and prevent them from being attracted to beautiful flowers and eating them. Consuming these plants can cause hospitalization and ruin the festive mood, affecting the psychological well-being.
Be cautious of rare and grafted plants with multiple fruits or unusual flowers
Many rare plants with multiple fruits are often the result of gluing fruits onto branches. Therefore, you should avoid buying these types of plants, as they may be unique but not genuine. You should remind children not to pluck fruits from plants such as kumquat or kumquat bonsai to eat. The reason is that plants grown for decorative purposes during Tet require special care from gardeners, different from those grown for fruit production. To keep the fruits fresh and long-lasting on the branches, additional plant chemicals are often used. Therefore, these fruits are not as safe as those grown for consumption. You should remind and pay attention to young children. Also, avoid letting them touch these plants, as the chemicals can transfer to their hands, and if they touch their eyes or face without washing their hands, it can be harmful.
Meaningful plants that are not beautiful
Many popular flowers are sold but do not have positive meanings, such as devil’s backbone, jasmines, daisies, irises, daffodils, etc. This can affect the psyche of some people who believe that flowers without positive meanings are unlucky. Therefore, you should consider the opinions of family members before purchasing, to avoid any negative emotions within the family. Some people follow certain taboos, while others do not. For people who follow taboos, a disturbed psychological state at the beginning of the year is taken seriously. Therefore, you should be more considerate, especially if you are a newlywed or have just moved in together, by consulting other family members before purchasing flowers and plants with these characteristics.
Dyed plants with vibrant colors
During Tet, many gardeners like to dye flowers and plants to create appealing, vibrant colors for certain customer preferences. However, these artificially dyed plants can cause poisoning, especially in young children. According to feng shui, using natural flowers and plants brings pure, lucky beauty.
Fake flower pots
Modern fabric and silk flower technologies are very advanced and allow the creation of beautiful and expensive fake flower pots. However, many people avoid displaying fake flower pots because they are believed to lack authenticity and positive energy. Therefore, before spending money on fake flower pots, you should also consider the beliefs of family members, especially the elderly in the house and in-laws, to avoid negative psychological effects. This also applies when buying as a gift, as many people avoid fake flowers.
Plants with sharp thorns
Flowering plants with sharp thorns, such as cacti and dragon fruit, may look beautiful but can cause injuries, especially to young children when playing near them.
