Keep these rules in mind for Tulsi

There should be no dirt near the Tulsi plant

  • Generally, we set aside a place for planting plants in the house. If there is dirt or garbage in this place, then we do not pay much attention to it. There should not be any kind of dirt near the trees like Tulsi, Banana, Bilva, Peepal, Banyan, etc. This happens to convert the positive energy of these plants into negative energy. Due to this many times losses may also have to be incurred. Therefore, never keep dirt near the Tulsi plant.

Do not grow these plants near Tulsi plant

  • Tulsi is considered a holy plant. Thorny or inauspicious trees and plants should not be planted near them. Cactus, Khedli, and Shami trees are prominent among these plants. Thorny plants are considered to be the factor of Rahu, so they should be grown in the southwest direction of the house. The Tulsi plant is always planted in the northeast (northeast direction) of the house. Even like this, planting these two plants together causes Vastu defect. Although rose flowers can be planted with basil.

Do not plant a fig plant with Tulsi

  • Aak (or fig plant) is also considered sacred in the scriptures. It has been considered the favorite plant of Lord Shiva. But the milk that comes out of this plant is poisonous. If this milk touches a Tulsi leaf and someone eats that leaf as Prasad, he may become ill. Therefore, in Ayurveda, it has been advised to plant Tulsi and Aak plants far and wide.
