concerning planting trees or shrubs around or in
a house. It has also taken into consideration the effect of colors, thorns, and
oxygen emission levels of various plants.

small shrubs, flowering bushes, or a lawn should be in the northeast of
your house. This will provide more open space in the North-East, which is
beneficial to usher in positive vibrations to
your home.
- In the
Southeast and North West directions, medium-sized trees can be planted
which will protect the house from the rays of the setting sun.
- The
ideal placement of large trees should be in the South-West direction.

protected from the harmful rays of the setting sun. It will also help in
maintaining the heavy energy load in this direction which is conducive as
per Vastu science.
- Thorny
plants like lemon, orange, jambul (java plum), cactus, and the plants from
which white sticky liquid oozes should not be planted at all. Thorny
plants represent negative energy.

trees like drumstick, tamarind, babul, Brahma rakshas, jambul (java plum),
jackfruit, bananas, ‘bel’, ‘amla’, ‘Shammi’, pineapple, lemon, eucalyptus
must be avoided. These are good for orchard planning or vegetation
purposes and should not be around a residence/home.
- Bonsai
plants should be strictly avoided in or around the house. While they look
good and many people use these as home décor, as per Vastu Shastra, these
represent slow and stunted growth.

(sacred basil) and neem should be planted around the house (if possible,
near the kitchen) as these plants emit oxygen in abundance. You will also

symbolizing auspicious energies to enter.
