Having plants at home has plenty of benefits and can foster a healthier living environment. Plants like tulsi, lotus and orchid among others, not only purify the air at home, but are also vastu compliant. But did you know there’s an entire list of plants that you should totally avoid keeping at home? Vastu Shastra suggests that one should steer clear of these. Read on to find out what plant should never find a place in your interiors.

Negative Vastu Plants #1: Cactus

Thorny plants are good for vastu

Both Vastu and Feng Shui experts suggest that cacti, although pretty, can transmit bad energy at home. It is believed that the prickly and sharp thorns on the leaves carry the bad energy in them. Cacti can bring misfortune at home and also cause stress and anxiety within the family. But this does not mean that you cannot have a cactus plant at home at all. If placed in the right place, they can actually help you. For eg, when placed in your terrace or by window, it fights the negative energy that’s trying to flow in. In this way, it actually becomes the “protector” for your home.

Negative Vastu Plants #2: Bonsai

Stunted vastu plants can slow down growth

While bonsai plants are beautiful to look at, they are not particularly auspicious to keep at home. Vastu experts say that it is best to avoid placing this plant anywhere at home. It symbolises slow or stunted growth and might interfere with the lifecycle of the inhabitants. They need a more open space like a garden or verandah.
