You may or may not have heard of using healing crystals + stones for gardening. I’ve talked somewhat frequently about the powers + properties of healing crystals and stones, along with how much I love and work closely with healing crystals + stones for myself. This past week while grocery shopping I found some tulips (Hooray! I’ve been wanting to plant some tulips lately, or have them in the house atleast.) but as I neared them I noticed they were not in great shape. They were kind of beat up and honestly you could tell they were sad. I have been wanting tulips… but do I want to pay for sad ones? After a moment of indecisiveness my lightbulb went off… I can heal these! … At the least, I can try.
So I grabbed a bundle and got to google searching. I looked for the best/most recommended healing crystals + stones for gardening, plant growth, and plant healing. Long story short I learned that basically all crystals + stones will help any plants immensely. However, the most recommended are grounding stones (darker colored ones like blacks, browns, and beiges), as well as rose quartz, and Jet was specifically mentioned for healing. And I’m in luck! My mother has quite a bit of Botswana Agate, I have an obsession with raw Rose Quartz and I have a piece or two of Jet, and together we both have a good collection of other grounding stones.
I bought the tulips and went into flower fixing mode as soon as I arrived home. I potted the flowers as one would (in a vase for inside because spring doesn’t exist in Colorado and it is still snowing more than desired) and I placed the intuitively chosen healing stones ontop of the river rocks I had in the vase to stabilize the flowers. I also replaced the usual sink water & powder packet from the packaging with electrolyte water for the first go around. These are the tulips on day 1, freshly potted. They wouldn’t have made it 2 more days in the store.
The crystals I used were different for each set, however each vase got both Rose Quartz, Botswana Agate, and a selection of other grounding stones. The larger group stayed at the kitchen table, where plenty of sunlight was available during most hours of the day… and unfortunately where my 1 1/2 yr old sister would decided to pluck the petals off of the stems, and the smaller group went into my bedroom window where there was also a good amount of sunlight throughout the day. Not only did both sets of tulips last a week and some change, they grew more than I could’ve expected.
It was more than worth the $5 the bouquet cost just to watch these guys both heal and grow even more. Both sets of tulips, while petal less, are still alive and thriving in their vases and I will be transplanting them into the garden as soon as the snow melts. At the very least, the pollen will germinate and they will grow back and bloom whenever they desire.
