Daisies are a famous and popular type of flower. Daisies come in many varieties, including large yellow daisies, large white daisies, small yellow daisies, purple daisies, bellis daisies, daisy poms, asters, chrysanthemums, and purple daisies. The most famous daisies are the large yellow and white ones, which are often used for worshiping occasions. White daisies are associated with farewells and funerals, while yellow daisies are associated with good luck and peace. Other types of daisies are mainly used for decoration in gardens.
Meaning of Daisies
Large yellow daisies are considered precious flowers that represent elegance. The bigger the daisy blooms and the more curved their petals, the more precious and luxurious they appear. Yellow daisies bring peace to the homeowner. In the past, daisies were often embroidered on the clothes of wealthy noble families and officials.
Daisies have always been an essential part of the decoration during the times of wealthy monarchs and now during the celebration of the Lunar New Year. In folklore, daisies symbolize life, good fortune, and joy. Daisies also symbolize longevity, bring additional blessings, and help stabilize the flow of energy in the house.
Daisies have long been a symbol of the integrity of the gentleman and the elegance of women.
In addition, many types of daisies are also used as medicinal herbs in traditional Chinese medicine, such as yellow daisies, chamomiles, and white daisies.
Should you plant daisies in front of your house?
Daisies are a popular flower in Vietnamese culture. Yellow daisies are often purchased for worshiping, placed on altars, and white daisies are used to visit funerals and cemeteries. Small daisies of various colors are used for landscaping. Therefore, you can definitely plant daisies in front of your house, but you should choose daisies with vibrant colors such as yellow daisies, asters, bellis daisies, and purple daisies. Avoid planting large white daisies indoors as they symbolize mourning (including white daisies and daisies).
Daisies prefer bright sunlight, so it is best to plant them in front of the house or on a sunny balcony. If planting potted daisies indoors, place them in a well-lit area and only display them when they bloom. Afterwards, take them outside to prevent wilting.
Considerations when decorating with daisies in front of your house
Avoid planting daisies individually as the Chinese word for “daisy root” sounds like “hardship,” which is considered unlucky.
When placing decorative daisy pots, it is better to place multiple pots to create a more splendid appearance and enhance vitality rather than placing single pots. Daisies come in various colors, so you can mix different colors to create a beautiful landscape.
Avoid placing daisies in the bedroom as plants are considered yin energy and are only suitable for places with abundant positive energy, such as the living room or balcony.
Caring for festive daisies
You can plant daisies all year round, but it is best to plant them in September or October for blooming at the end of the year and during the Lunar New Year.
You can grow daisies from seeds or buy ready-made plants from flower shops.
Soil for planting daisies: Mix fertile soil, coconut fiber, compost, and manure in a ratio of 3:2:2:2:1. The soil should be loose and well-drained to promote plant growth and irrigation.
Watering: You should water the daisies regularly to keep the soil moist for better blooming. However, avoid over-watering, as it can cause root rot.
Light: Daisies need sunlight for photosynthesis and larger blooms.
Daisies are beautiful flowers that symbolize peace, good fortune, and blessings for the homeowner. Therefore, you should choose cheerful and vibrant daisy varieties, and avoid planting large white daisies.
