Indoor plants definitely uplift the look of your home but did you know, according to Vastu Shastra, there are certain plants that should not be kept indoors? Let's check out the list.
According to Vastu Shastra, cacti can bring negative energy into homes. Cacti and other thorny plants are believed to foster arguments and chaos in the home. They can adversely impact romance, and cause financial difficulties.
Expensive and attractive, bonsais are often used as indoor decor plants. However, according to many Vastu specialists, bonsais should not be kept inside homes as they can cause a slowdown in career and business. They symbolise stunted growth and should instead be limited to gardens and open balconies.
Cotton plants, especially silky cotton plants, are definitely pretty to look at but if placed indoors, they are believed to bring bad luck. So Vastu suggests avoiding these as they are considered inauspicious.
Tamarind plants should not be kept in one's home, according to Vastu Shastra. They are known to attract negativity, can adversely impact people's peace of mind, and therefore should not be placed anywhere near one's house.
It may be auspicious to apply mehendi at weddings and other events, but keeping Mehendi plants at home is considered inauspicious. Evil spirits are believed to exist in Myrtle or Mehendi plants. The strong smell is also known to disturb one's calm state of mind.
Dead flowers and plants should not be stored indoors. These lifeless things interrupt the energy flow in the surroundings and hurt the energy balance in the home.
