Vasthu Sastra masters advocate some simple rules on growing of plants which are as follows:

• Planting of curry leaves should be avoided for several reasons: it is harmful to the male children of the house, its wide spreading roots can weaken the foundation of the house and that the leaves attracts a lot of insects.

• Creepers are not encouraged to be grown both indoor or outdoor.If creepers are able to climb on compound walls and roof, the creepers can “suck” all the available good energy of the house & occupants hence disallowing the occupants to grow in health or prosperity

( it’s interesting to note that there is slight difference as Vasthu Sastra discourage the growing of creepers which includes money plant which can grow wild in the garden,etc whilst the Chinese Feng Shu encourages such act so as to bring money into the house )

• However, there are some good plants that should be grown which is tulsi or basil plant, coconut palm, mango, jackfruit and neem for medicinal reasons and other reasons

• Tulsi or basil plant is the best amongst the plant and it should be grown whether indoor or outdoor as it has excellent quality of neutralizing negative energy and spreading a healthy environment in the house. Planting tulsi plant at the doorstep, front or back of the house, it is able to enhance positive energy and purifies the atmosphere, keep mosquitoes away and supplies ample oxygen

• Vastu Sastra discourage the growing of plants that ooze sap.

• Thorny plants is never encourage as it is believe to generate negative energy which is harmful to human beings

• In the north east sector of the house, there should only be potted plants and tall plants need to be avoid as they obstruct the positive morning sun’s ray that come into the house vide the East and Northeast direction. This is in line with Vasthu Sastra’s principle that the NE should be as light or low or not burden with too much things unlike the South West sector.
