While having greenery around is good for aesthetics and health, as per vaastu shastra, the strategic placement of plants and trees is believed to hold the key to unlocking happiness and prosperity within the home.

According to a study published in the International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT), the placement of trees within a property can significantly impact its energy dynamics. For instance, it’s recommended that big trees should not be grown on the East and North-East sides of the plot, as they may obstruct the morning sunrays from entering the house. Instead, experts suggest planting them on the South, South-West, and South-East sides to provide shade and protection from the harsh noon sun.
