I am Hungarian, two that I have heard are that keeping a cactus in the house will bring bad luck. Another is that owls, even owl sculptures, are also bad luck.
This is not correct. Cactus' plants are not bad luck in general. Only certain types of cactus are bad for luck.
Only if an owl flies into your house is it bad luck. Having a statue of an owl in the home is not good luck and not bad luck.

Breaking glass is not good luck- it is bad luck.
If you have bad luck coming your way, breaking glass will, according to superstition, eliminate it. Breaking glass, without any (bad luck) precursor, will supposedly manifest itself in only bad luck.
Speaking in more detail, according to superstition, when one has bad luck coming his or her way, breaking a mirror works as a shield to bad luck. A mirror is a reflective device. When one breaks a mirror, it will reflect the bad luck of a broken mirror. But, when already in the presence of bad luck, it reflects the bad luck in the bad-luck dimension. Bad luck in the bad luck dimension is good luck, which we all obstinately have.
