Vastu Plant Tips: From Tulsi to Shami—bring these 5 plants home before Dhanteras to boost positive energy and prosperity..

As the festival of Diwali approaches, cleaning and preparations begin in homes. Before Diwali, the festival of Dhanteras is celebrated, which holds special religious significance. On this day, Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Dhanvantari are worshipped. It is believed that performing rituals with proper devotion brings happiness and prosperity to the home. There is also a tradition of purchasing various items, including gold and silver, on the occasion of Dhanteras. But did you know that, alongside shopping and worship, there is also a tradition—rooted in religious belief—of planting certain types of vegetation at home during Dhanteras? Let us find out from an astrologer in Deoghar which plants are considered auspicious.

What does the astrologer from Deoghar say?
Pandit Nand Kishore Mudgal, an astrologer from Deoghar, explains that nature contains many plants that, according to religious beliefs, are associated with various deities. Planting such vegetation at home is considered auspicious. He notes that the tradition of planting these before Dhanteras is also viewed as a positive practice. According to religious tradition, this fosters the flow of positive energy within the home and invites happiness and prosperity. This is why, during the festive season, people focus not only on decorating their homes but also on planting greenery.

Five plants that are highly auspicious to plant before Dhanteras:

Tulsi (Holy Basil): In Hinduism, the Tulsi plant is considered extremely sacred. In many households, it is worshipped regularly. It holds special significance due to its association with Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. During festivals like Dhanteras and Diwali, people hold a deep, special reverence for the Tulsi plant.

Aparajita (Butterfly Pea): The Aparajita plant is known for its blue and white flowers. In religious traditions, these flowers are frequently used in acts of worship and ritual offerings. This is why many people plant it in their home gardens or in pots. One might also consider bringing this plant home during festive occasions.

Shami Plant:

In Hinduism, the Shami plant is considered auspicious. According to religious beliefs, it is associated with the worship of Lord Shiva and Shani Dev. Many people worship the Shami plant on special occasions; consequently, there is often an interest in bringing it home, especially before Dhanteras.

Hibiscus Plant: The hibiscus is known for its attractive flowers, which are used in various religious rituals. The red hibiscus, in particular, is considered significant in the worship of goddesses. For this reason, many people plant it in their home courtyards or in pots.

Money Plant: The money plant is commonly kept in homes and offices for decorative purposes. According to beliefs rooted in Vastu, it is also associated with financial prosperity—though, of course, there is no guarantee that it will actually increase one's wealth. Primarily, it can be grown simply for the greenery and aesthetic appeal it provides.
