The Symbolic or Cultural Significance of Common Morning Glory

In certain cultures, the common morning glory symbolizes affection, the bond of love, and a willingness to receive love. It's said to symbolize the transient nature of love, given that its blooms only last one day. Rich in color, the bloom represents the vibrancy of life, encouraging a positive energy flow when used in Feng Shui. However, always remember it's a vigorous climber and needs to be contained properly so as not to stifle the qi, or energy flow.

How to Select Healthy Common Morning Glory？

When selecting a healthy common morning glory, look for vibrant, green leaves free of yellowing or brown spots. Ensure there are no visible pests or signs of disease, such as webbing or sticky residues. The plant should exhibit strong overall vigor with sturdy stems and no wilting or drooping. Check the soil's condition, making sure it is moist but well-draining, as overly wet or dry soil can indicate poor growing conditions.
