Stones for plants

[HetHert]

What are good crystals to place in the dirt to help promote plant growth or growing energies?

[lightdragon]

Off the tip of my mind it would be moss agate. also what you could do is place an already cleansed crystal in the dirt.

Sounds weird, but I had a pendant with amazonite in it, but it broke, so I sprinkled the rocks in my spider plant. It didn't grow faster, but it seems a lot healthier and prettier.

Ya know I think my husband took a peice of moss agate that we had from a crystal grab bag and placed it in one of our newly potted plants...the rosemary I think because I'm having a heck of a time keeping rosemary alive. Hopefully it works.

I did have two quartz wands that I placed in two hanging planters that hang at corners of our patio. I put them out today and I'm hoping that they do a two-fold job of energizing the flowers and attracting the growth energies while warding off any negative energies that may be hanging around. We don't live in the best area and have been experiencing some negative things going on in and around our lives so we're working up our wards and hoping that the plants and the crystals work to transform and or ground and negativity and promote positive energies.

Try apache tears to ward off negativity. place one piece in/on each entrance to the house/apartment or at least near it. ?That should generate a postive energy field. even people who don`t believe in magic and metaphysical effects will notice a difference. check with Czechwoods if he has any to sell when he comes back or go online or go to your local new age shop and get them that should be about 8 to 10 of them for a small house or apartment

[HetHert]

Thanks for that suggestion Lightdragon. I think we may have some apache's tears in our crystal cabinet and if not I know where I can find some! :)

Why should I use 4 quartz instead of 2?

Why should I use 4 quartz instead of 2?Because you stick one quartz in each of the four sections of the pot or around the plant. One for each of the directions. This acts as a barier of protection for the plant.In a way its's sacred space for the plant.

I have always used peices of clear quartz to help any plantings I have had. I used to grow monster strawberries that way. Also I used some hemetite which may sound strange but the strawberries came back from the dead and really produced. I had found them in a yard of a house I once had. All dry and dead and so I just put the stones in the ground watered passed my hands over for the enregies and voila......Big red berryies in jsut a few weeks. Good luck on your plantings hun.

[vikinggoddess]

Yes moss agate and clear quartz.

Also flourite for aromatic plants like lemon balm and mint.

Pyrite you can tie into the limbs of pepper plants also.. not in the dirt.

Trying now rhodonite for lettuce.

[Makas]

Different but related:

I usually meditate with fuschite before working with my plants, it seems to help me realize what I need to do with and for the plants.

[HetHert]

Thanks Makas, I'll try this when I get home! :boing:

[Makas]

Sure thing! :) Glad I could be some help.

[HetHert]

Ok Makas, what does it mean if while I was holding my fuschite it splits in half in your hand...LOL. I was holding it while stand outside amidst my plants and "speaking" with them and when I came inside it broke. I can't believe it just split in half. :lol:

probably too much to do for the poor fuchsite.


well, moss agate or tree agate, additionally to what was said

a customer of mine always works color related. generally he will put a rosequartz into his water bucket, and also dig one into the earth with the plant. if he plants yellow flowers, he will usually also choose a yellow stone: like calcite, rosequartz for roses and pink flowers, red jasper for red ones etc.

his garden indeed has more intense looking flowers than the gardens around his. to much envy of his neighbours :T

[CzechWoods]

Sounds weird, but I had a pendant with amazonite in it, but it broke, so I sprinkled the rocks in my spider plant. It didn't grow faster, but it seems a lot healthier and prettier.

does not sound so weird to me, amazonite is green plus it is a fieldspar (feldspate), a family of stones closely connected to the earth ('s spirits)

thank you for sharing your valuable experience. wonderful info, if i may add

[Makas]

Maybe it was too much for your stone. Maybe the stone was trying to tell you something. Look at the two pieces and have a look what they might be saying to you.

[HetHert]

Hmm well the pretty magenta part split away from the green...

I went outside this morning and I have so many little sunflower seedlings that have sprouted the flowers are lovely and the spiderplant starter that a friend gave me has a new leaf that has begun...which is good because it was just a baby with only three leaves. All the herbs look great so perhaps I should just through the halves in the water bucket with a few other stones and use them for a crystal infusion.

Thanks for all your help guys... Czech I think I'm going to try the infusions based on color and find use some earth stones with colored crystals to promote the flowers.

Ya know I think my husband took a peice of moss agate that we had from a crystal grab bag and placed it in one of our newly potted plants...the rosemary I think because I'm having a heck of a time keeping rosemary alive. Hopefully it works.

Two things come to mind here:

1) Rosemary in general gets unhappy in pots, at least in my experience. Make sure it has enough root room.

2) It's very protective and if you live in an area that has alot of negative energy, it may just be working itself to death. Maybe give it a friend - a second rosemary on the other side of the patio, or another protective plant...maybe a bay laurel or a really pokey cactus.

I second the four crystals idea. I've used this numerous times to heal sick plants and I've found that four quartz points will keep whiteflies away from sensitive plants.

Good luck!

I think that means that you need to look at division of and in your garden. Probably have one of each in the ground and pots. When you have plants in the ground you give back to the earth and people who will be there after you. When you have them in the pots you protect them from storms, freeze, relocations losses. Also look at cuttings. Are there plant from your garden that you can make cuttings for propogation for yourself and to give and trade away? Are there plants from your neighbors yard that you can make cuttings with for yourself?

You are sooo right! I just spent yesterday seperating seedlings that I got started in pots so that they'd have plenty of room and I could give them out to friends...(sunflowers). I also had to thin out the bellpeppers because there were so many in the pot that they weren't growing. I had just thrown a bellpepper core in some dirt to see what would happen..:p

Thanks Vikinggoddess and LisadiDio!

On the note about rosemary...I'm hoping that this potted one will survive but if not I'm going to take the hint that it probably won't survive in the conditions I provide, there's lots of negativity floating in the area. I'll try a second protection type plant like you suggest!

Thanks for all the great info and inspiration everyone!

That is cool. Maybe half of the stone that broke should go to another gardener if you have a close friend who also appreciates the stones.

Don't give up on Rosemary. It can be tricky to get going, but I see huge bushes of is here in Florida and also of course when I was in the Pacific Northwest. It seems it will do well in most climates.

[vikinggoddess]

I just confirmed Roxanne MP Lee's observation that bloodstone works great together with honeysuckle. wired a piece to a branch of mine and that side just took off.

[Ptah]

Were it me, I would coordinate the planetary aspects of the plant with the planetary aspect of the stone.

Rosemary likes cool roots and morning sun, in our area. Avoid any sun after noon, especially if the plant is potted. Keep the pot out of direct sunlight and make sure the pot is oversized for the size of the plant (giving the roots a chance to spread out).

Also be wary of any sodium based minerals, as they could leach into your soil and oversalinate your plants.
