Plants and trees having great importance
in nature as well as in human life. They
consume many harmful gases from the air
to make their food and thus clean the
environment. Also they release certain
gases through breathing. However, the
nature of gases released by different
trees and plants differs.
Vastu Shastra guides
us as to what types of plants and trees
should be planted around a dwelling place
to enjoy their positive properties.
The trees should be away from the building
so that the shadow of any tree does not
fall upon the house from 9.00 am to 3.00
pm. Perhaps, it may obstruct the beneficial
cosmic radiations found in hot sun rays.

etc.

Furthermore, different trees should be
in different directions from the house
and any particular tree should not be
planted in the prohibited direction or
place. Many trees and plants can be planted
in any direction.
