Why can't we keep lotus flowers at home?

First, from the perspective of fengshui

1. Loose wealth: after experiencing the dew accumulated overnight, the lotus is gone as soon as the sun comes out. Fengshui says that water can make money and represents wealth. Drying the dew by the sun means losing money. So, some businessmen in the family are very taboo about raising lotus at home and feel that it will affect their fortune.

2. Yin is heavy: in ancient times, after a person died, his family would embroider lotus flowers on his clothes, and lotus flowers would also be used in memorial ceremonies, so the lotus was too Yin-qi to be raised at home, which would affect the health of the family.

3. Buddhist holy flower: the lotus is the seat of the Buddhist Bodhisattvas. Raising lotus at home means disrespectful to the Bodhisattva, so many people taboo on this point and will not raise lotus.

Second, from the point of view of culture conditions

1. Lighting: the lotus is a sunny plant and must be exposed to natural light for at least eight hours a day, which is difficult to achieve if raised at home.

2. Recruiting insects: coupled with the fact that it is an aquatic plant, aquatic plants are easy to attract insects, so it is unhygienic to raise lotus at home and is easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, it is not suitable for families to raise lotus.

3, take up space: the variety of lotus is generally relatively large, it takes up a lot of space, and another point is that it is difficult to meet the breeding conditions needed by large varieties of lotus, such as large containers and large amounts of fertilizer. If you breed it, it is difficult to evenly shine on the sun, so the growth will not be very good, and the flower posture will not be very good. In order to avoid the above problems, it is best to raise lotus outdoors.
