Adding greens to the indoors has its own benefits. Apart from amping up the aesthetics of the house, it also improves the quality of the air and adds positivity. However, not all plants can be kept indoors. Some of the best indoor plants are said to bring prosperity to our lives, while others are considered unlucky and attract negative vibes. If you want to decide which plant should be kept indoors and which should be kept outside, refer to Vastu Shastra.
Vastu Shastra is similar to the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui. The Sanskrit term Vastu Shatra translates to the ‘science of architecture.’ It is usually referred to create a friendly and peaceful place. Its science applies to positioning the plants at home that will affect the health, fortune, and wealth of its residents. Plants like bamboo, jasmine, aloe vera, and money plants are suitable for indoors while cactus and creepers are believed to attract negative energies.
Using its principles, here are some of the plants that you must keep inside your homes-

Lily is a beautiful plant that will add to the aesthetics of your home. It adds brightness to the indoors and promotes a healthy lifestyle. According to Vastu, it wards off the negative energies and purifies the air around. Lily is also believed to promote emotional health and bring peace and harmony. They should be placed in the east corner for mental and physical health. For wealth and prosperity, it can be kept in the southwest corner.
