Bringing Life & Energy into Your Home with Vastu Shastra & Plants

When we think about improving our homes, we often consider big changes like new furniture or painting the walls. But there's a powerful, natural way to improve our living spaces using just plants. Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian approach to living in harmony with nature, shows us how placing certain plants in specific spots can enhance your home and daily lifestyle.

Why Plants Make a Difference

I’ve always believed that plants are more than just decorations. They clean our air, make us feel happier, and even bring good vibes into our homes. Vastu Shastra takes this a step further by suggesting where to place plants to boost these benefits.

My Top Picks for Vastu-Friendly Plants

Let's talk about a few plants that are great for this and how we can use them:

Snake Plant:

Our favorite evergreen plant, this guy is a champ at cleaning the air. It's perfect for bedrooms to keep the air fresh. I keep mine in the southeast corner because Vastu says this spot is great for wealth and good energy. It is the only plant that can survive in all conditions.

Rubber Plant:

It has big, shiny leaves that make any corner look lush. According to Vastu, putting it in the east or southeast brings in health and abundance. It is a low-maintenance, air-purifying plant. 

Areca Palm:

This plant feels like a piece of the tropics with its feathery leaves. It's fantastic for living rooms, and placing it in the east or southeast can help keep things calm & balanced. It looks absolutely beautiful, with lush green leaves adding an aesthetic touch.

Aloe Vera:

We all know it’s good for our skin, but it’s also great for positive vibes. The southeast is the spot for this one, too, where it can work its magic the best. It also has a lot of medicinal properties too.

Money Plant:

Yes, it’s as good as it sounds. It’s known for bringing wealth, and keeping it in the southeast can really help with finances.

Tulsi (Holy Basil):

Tulsi, our favorite household plant, is considered sacred in many cultures. It cleans the air and brings a peaceful feeling. Tulsi may be placed in the northeast corner to make the most of its positive properties.

Jade Plant:

It’s called ‘Lucky’ Jade for a reason! It has cute, round leaves and is known for bringing wealth. The southeast corner is perfect for this plant. This is an outdoor, low-maintenance plant!

Peace Lily:

This beautiful plant with white flowers is amazing at purifying the air, bringing peace and positive energy. It’s best placed in the north or east of your home for a calm and peaceful vibe.

Then, choose plants that fit those needs and place them in the recommended Vastu spot. You’ll notice a difference not just in how your space looks but also in how it feels.
