What does the lotus symbolize? Why can't we grow lotus at home?

1. What does it symbolize?

1. Innocence and Nobility: The lotus grows out of the mud, but the flower is very pure, without a trace of pollution, so it symbolizes innocence and nobility. It is also used to symbolize people with noble qualities, to praise noble character, and to indicate not to be involved with other people of bad conduct.

2. Integrity: Another name for the lotus is "Qinglian", which is homophonic with "integrity", so it also symbolizes that officials are honest, clean-handed, truly serve the people, and do not covet wealth, gold and silver. The painting composed of lotus and egret also has the meaning of "integrity all the way".

3. Friendship: Lotus is also a symbol of friendship. It can be given to friends with whom you have deep friendships, symbolizing deeper feelings.

2. Why can’t we raise a baby at home?

Many people have spread rumors that you cannot grow lotus flowers at home because they will not bring wealth and will have heavy negative energy. In fact, this is a rumor and is incorrect. As long as you like lotus flowers, you can plant them at home and they will look very beautiful. However, growing lotus requires a large space and sufficient sunlight. If there is no yard at home, the maintenance conditions may be limited, resulting in poor growth of the lotus.
