The ancient belief that cactus brings good luck has been alive for centuries. It’s a popular belief in Mexico, the southwestern United States, and many other countries where wild cacti can grow.
But why is a spiky plant considered so lucky? The traditional explanation is that its armor-like appearance reflects strength and protection against adversity. Cacti are known for their endurance and ability to weather many hardships due to their ability to store water – traits some associate with perseverance and resilience.
Moreover, its vibrant flowers represent prosperity – from the yellow “Arizona Sunset” to the showy crimson of the “Christmas Cactus” – hinting at a bright future. Plus, it’s said that when a cactus blooms, it’s a sign of positive energy entering one’s home. So if you’re looking for good luck – adding a cactus might do the trick!
