Traditionally, it is believed that the blooming of iron trees is a good sign, but is this really the case?
There are currently two types of iron trees commonly known as iron trees, one is the cycad of the iron tree family, and the other is the cycad of the Liliaceae family. The flowering of iron trees refers to the former. Cycads are evergreen plants that originally grew in hot subtropical areas. Their flowering time is usually between spring and summer. A fern tree can only have male or female flowers on the top, and is dioecious.
Although the iron tree that is more than ten years old has the ability to bloom every year, because it is very afraid of cold, as long as the climate is slightly unfavorable, it will not bloom for many years. Therefore, people use the blooming of the iron tree as a metaphor for something that is very rare or difficult to achieve, and those who believe in animism regard this rare random natural phenomenon as a revelation of good or bad luck.
The phenomenon of shaking trees and rapid changes
Is human luck affecting the physiological changes of plants? Or does the ecology of plants dominate the fortunes of humans? In fact, these are complementary to each other, which is the so-called Feng Shui countermeasures. Because animals and plants sense good and bad events faster than humans, just like animals are the first to realize that there will be a crisis before a catastrophe. In the Bagua, the Zhen hexagram belongs to wood, and the blooming iron tree indicates that the sign of Zhenmu has matured. It predicts that there will be rapid changes and thunder and wind. Because such changes are rapid and intense, they are often regarded as bad luck. Symptoms are the worst, especially in autumn and winter.
The scent of the flowers causes trouble
When the iron tree blooms, the scent of the flowers interacts with the scent of the wood. For example, if the air quality in the area is poor or the surrounding environment is messy , it will lead to conflicts, conflicts and discord. To put it simply, it will make the owner's temper deteriorate, he will easily get into trouble, and he will not get along well with friends and colleagues. This situation will be more obvious if the iron tree grows tall. In addition to iron trees, other upright plants such as bamboo and epiphyllum have little chance of blooming. Everyone's feng shui adaptability is roughly the same, and among them, flowering in winter is the most unfavorable.
Methods to resolve: Use fire to make wood
However, in Feng Shui, there is always a solution to everything. If used properly, it is possible to turn danger into opportunity and turn bad luck into good luck. When you find that the iron tree is blooming, you should first clean up the nearby area so that it does not feel messy to reduce its destructive power. Next, tie a red rope on the iron tree, and hang red ribbons and red envelopes to fill it with a joyful atmosphere and a colorful and lively feeling. Use red festoons to boost the momentum of "the wood is brightly lit", and mark the occasion with When wood creates fire, it can turn bad luck into good luck.
Blooming in summer is a sign of joy
However, in fact, the flowering of iron trees may also be a good thing. If the iron trees bloom in summer, as long as the nearby environment is simple and clear, it is a sign of joy. According to metaphysician Fang Haiyue, from a macro perspective, although the blooming of iron trees has implications of change and war, Hong Kong is a blessed place and should have no impact at all. In terms of personal home furnishings, flowering iron trees have different effects when placed in different directions.
The blooming iron tree represents wealth and prosperity. This year’s positive wealth position is in the north, while the partial wealth position is in the south. If placed in the above directions, it will have unexpected wealth-promoting effects. If placed in a festive position in the southwest, it can promote marriage, and those who are married may have a sign of happiness. However, Sanbi, whose zodiac sign is wood, is in the middle position this year. If the iron tree is placed in the center of the house or living room, it will cause trouble.
If you really want to put it there, the solution is to use a piece of red cloth and wrap it three times, then you can use the wood to make a fire and turn the evil into good luck. However, it is not known whether the blooming of iron trees can really predict good or bad luck as Feng Shui says, or whether it is purely due to the impact of climate change.
