The homeland of the Sanseveria plant, which we have got the strange name of a pike tail, and in some places - a mother tongue, is far Africa, where it grows freely in the rainforests. We know it as a houseplant, in which the leaves develop directly from the root rosette and can take the form of arrows up to 1 meter in height or form a spherical rosette with small leaves. Its seemingly waxed leaves do not allow the moisture that the plant receives to evaporate actively, which means that it will easily transfer the lack of watering for some time.
Be that as it may, this evergreen plant has found its place everywhere: in offices and hospitals, homes and children's institutions. Surprisingly, settling everywhere, the Sansevera has generated a lot of beliefs and prejudices, as well as the controversy over whether the pike tail is a flower, then it is harm or good.
Can I keep the sansevere at home?
It is known that mystics and astrologers believe that there are flowers that are simply contraindicated to keep in a dwelling, as they can harm their masters. In this "black list" came and teshchin language. There are constant disputes about its properties. One of the main subjects of disagreement is the question of whether it is possible to hold a tail flower at home. There was a clear opinion that sansevera negatively affects the psychological climate of the family . However, those who grow this plant, say that everything depends on the "installations" of the owners: the pike tail, this wonderful flower, can harm or benefit the owners of the house, depending on what they believe and what they count on. If they are afraid that the flower will cause harm, so it will be. But those who hope for the best, there is nothing to fear.
Moreover, they assure us that if there is a disagreement in a young family, this plant must be acquired necessarily, and then a pike tail will be the flower from which the real good will come to the young, and peace and peace will reign in the family.
