Heathers are considered a symbol of autumn. They bloom in white, pink, purple and red. They are planted at the end of August or the beginning of September. If properly cared for, they can please the eye until the end of October. Does their presence at home negatively affect our well-being? It all depends on what you believe in.
Cultivation. What soil for heather is best?
The flowers feel best in sunny positions and slightly acidic, fertile and permeable soil. They should be watered regularly, but be careful not to overwater them. If the soil is too wet, it will dry out quickly. For watering, choose soft water at room temperature. If you decide to plant heather at home, keep them away from radiators, preferably in a room where it is the coolest. Do not expose them to lack of sunlight or strong gusts of wind. Avoid calcium fertilization and choose fertilizers for acid-loving plants.
Superstitions. Can heather be kept at home?
In Scandinavian countries it was believed that growing heather at home would bring illness, misfortune and even death. The plant was associated with poverty and negative energy. It was used to decorate tombstones, similarly to chrysanthemums in Poland. To this day, many people believe that giving someone heather as a gift is a big tact. The Celts had a completely different opinion, for whom heather was a symbol of happiness, love and spiritual balance. They also decorated places where they took meals with them. Nowadays, in Scotland, heather is most often used for wedding decorations and bouquets. Therefore, there are no contraindications to growing these flowers at home, apart from personal beliefs.
