Scorpios are known to strive for power and authority. The apparent calm hides the volcano of feelings that rage in their souls. Secretive, magnetic and dangerous, the representatives of this zodiac sign love bright appearances and colors. Warm shades of red and brown are most suitable for their surroundings...
The plants that share the living space of the scorpion should be of soft and delicate colors.
Tamarix (Tamarix) – a tender, ethereal shrub with small purple-pink flowers, collected in spike-shaped inflorescences. They appear in May. The leaves are scaly, slightly lying on the branches and the densely branched stem. It prefers light sandy soils, bright sunshine and is drought tolerant. It is used to strengthen eroded sandy terrains. His presence in the garden suppresses the offensiveness and maliciousness characteristic of Scorpio. Planted next to the fence, the bush protects from envious neighbors.
Jesus' wreath (Euphorbia Milii) - a thorny shrub with small flowers ranging from yellow-orange to various shades of red, belonging to the milkweed family. Damaged stems release a toxic white sap that causes skin irritation. The undemanding species blooms even under the most unfavorable conditions. In intense sunlight, the bush reaches a height of up to 1 meter. The stems are covered with thorns. The petals are small and delicate. Almost throughout the year it is covered with tufts of orange-red bracts, with miniature and inconspicuous flowers located in the middle. The dry air in the premises does not interfere with them. It requires light soils and moderate moisture, even in the heat of summer. A change in exposure causes the leaves to drop. Propagated in spring by cuttings rooted in moist sand. It helps with joint and muscle pain, as well as people with concerns, feeling limited in their professional environment.
Common yew (Taxus baccata) - a dioecious tree with narrow linear latent leaves. Its height varies between 2 and 27 meters. At a young age, the crown is conical with long branches covered with a thin and smooth red-brown bark. In adult plants, the crown is dense and dome-shaped, and the bark cracks "in tiles". The leaves are linear, 2-3 cm long, soft, successively arranged and pointed. Their upper surface is painted in dark green, and the reverse is matte. Female fronds are formed in spring, and male fronds in autumn. At the base of the seed bud, wrapped in green leaves, an outgrowth is formed - the arilus, which acquires a bright red color when the seed ripens. All vegetative parts, except the arillus, are highly poisonous. The plant is characterized by slow growth and a long life (up to 4000 years). Grows on silicate and calcareous soils, needs high humidity. Tolerates temperatures up to -25º C. It is propagated by stem cuttings. It is used for living walls and topiaries, as it tolerates pruning very well. It has the ability to strengthen a Scorpio's ambitions and dreams and helps them overcome issues such as splitting and indecision. Relieves states of stress and nervous tension.
Oleander (Nerium Oleander) – the wonderful evergreen shrub enchants with the tufts of fragrant flowers located at the tips of the stems. The leaves are long, leathery, dark green and contain poisonous juices. There are hybrids with variegated yellow and green leaves. They are located oppositely and in pairs. The crown of the bush is formed by 10-12 stems, which grow very quickly and have a characteristic branching in their upper half. Colors dyed in white, cream, pink and red can be simple or kitschy. From spring to mid-autumn, the plant is covered in blossom. Pruning the flowering branches provides a better view of the crown. Heavy and rich soils are most suitable for its development. The soil mixture consists of 4 parts of humus, 2 parts of leaf and 1 part each of sand and garden soil. The plant must receive a large amount of water. It is fed once a month with a universal liquid fertilizer for flowering species. It is propagated by stem cuttings. It helps with addictions such as smoking, alcoholism and drug addiction. It takes away the stress and tension.
Gynura (Gynura Aurantiaca) – the stems and dark green leaves of the exotic plant are covered with purple short hairs. In its natural environment (Island of Java), it has a height of up to 1 meter, which can hardly be reached under the conditions of cultivation in our country. The flowers are yellow, nondescript and with an unpleasant aroma. For this reason, it is good to remove the buds before flowering. In order to form a dense crown that emphasizes decorativeness, the tips of the branches should be trimmed regularly. The flower likes fresh air, bright light and increased soil moisture in summer, and in winter - slight drying. In case of shading, the leaves lose their spectacular purple color, and water falling on the petura damages them irreversibly. It is fed twice a month with mineral fertilizers. It is propagated by top and stem cuttings. The beautiful ginura clears the atmosphere of hidden tension and suspiciousness. It is a suitable gift for people who do not adhere to good tone and like to gossip.
Nepenthes (Nepenthes Mirabilis) – an insectivorous climbing plant whose modified leaves look like jugs. Their bright color attracts insects. Caught in this trap, they drown in the pepsin solution that fills the jug, and the plant's digestive juices break down their bodies. The plant needs: temperature 20ºС, lots of light (no direct sunlight) and high air humidity. It is watered with filtered water, and the amount of supplied moisture is greater in the warm months. Humidity is achieved by sprinkling the liana. Grows on orchid substrate. Fertilize only when it does not catch insects. According to experts, nepenthes absorbs the negativity of the destabilizing environment and accelerates recovery after severe depressive states.
