In today's stressful society we are looking at ways to improve the quality of our lives. Stepping into the garden is a wonderful way to relax and restore inner peace. A house with well planned flowering plants not only enhances the aesthetic beauty of the place, but contributes considerably to our environment. Flowering house plants are not only restricted to residences. There is tremendous scope in the use of these flowering plants in beautifying small
houses, gardens, offices, public buildings and hotels. Climbers play a large and important role int the field of ornamental horiculture. In India, we have a number of beautiful flowering climbers which are eye catching.
As a general rule, gardens in homes or factories should always be in the North or West and within the confines of the compound. The South-East and South-West are not to be selected for any kind of garden or plantation. In this day and age of flats and multi-storeyed structures,Ashok, Kanakchampa, Ashaphala, Smabhaloo and Coconut planted within the campus in the North and West is
favourable.
Here a few simple vaastu suggestions for planting of various varieties of foliage for gardens within the house limits:
A Basil plant is a very positive influence within the limits of a house.
Plants of Palm, Paraspeepal, Pakar, Sirish, Neem and Bilva, if planted in proper direction, that is the North or the West, bring
favour.
Bilva, Madhuka and Peepal are very favourable on the West of the house limit.
Udumbara(Goolar)and Panas are favourable towards the South of the house limits.
Kanakchampa,in the North brings virtues and wealth.
Coconut and Banana plants within house limits are very favourable, with respect to mental peace and health.
A water pond in a favourable direction, with Lotus, is very
favourable.
The entertaining unit for the children is recommended towards the North-West of the garden. As far as possible plantation should be avoided in the East,North, South-East,South-West, North-West corners should be plant
free. Gardens in the South-East and South-West cause tensions.In particular, large or tall plants should never be planted towards the East or North.
No large plant should be planted exactly in the centre of a site.
There must not be any Palash,Kanchana,Sleshmataka,Arjun and Karanj plants within the house limits. If they are already present, then balance them by planting Ashok,Nirgundi and Sudarshan plants in the appropriate directions.
Thorny succulent plants must not be grown within the house limits. Cacti are considered very dangerous and harmful for a residential unit. They purport to bring tensions and create fractious relationships. If you keep them, it is preferable to keep it separately, and out of house limits.
The Ber plant should not be cultivated within the house limits. It increases enemity. Plants of Bamboo,should never be grown within the house limits.
Climbers within the house limits should be grown vertically, climbing or horizontally,trailing. Indoor climbers should also follow this condition.
If a garden is present in the centre of the house limit, it must not have any fountain in the
centre.
A swimming pool in the centre,towards the South, South-East or South-West and even the North-West created undue events. It brings negativity in the health of the residents. A swimming pool is favourable in the East, North or even in the West.
The fountains or water ponds within a house limit should not be built in the centre and should follow the same principles as the placement of swimming pools. Placed wrongly, they cause problems with respect to mental peace and health.
Fountains or ponds are very favourable towards the North-East.This is also applicable to artificial springs.
Huge, heavy statues or other exhibits are favourable towards the South-West,South or the West.
