Ideal plants: rubber tree, hibiscus, rose, jade
The southeast is ruled by the fire element and Venus, which influences energy and passion. “It is believed that red or pink flowers along with the green leaves of a plant enhance the fire energy, symbolizing growth and prosperity,” says Kripalani. Rubber trees are great at absorbing negative energy, while hibiscus and rose plants add aesthetic appeal and inspire enthusiasm and motivation among office employees. Placing plants here also increases staff productivity. If you can't place live plants, consider placing a crystal vase adorned with red flowers here to increase the flow of positive energy and promote financial success.

Ideal plants: Jasmine, bamboo
The south direction is associated with the fire element and the planet Mars, symbolizing strength and prestige. Bamboo is hardy and therefore grows well in this direction. Bamboo gives everyone in the office a sense of confidence and security. Jasmine with its pleasant scent reduces stress and exudes positive vibes. Avoid placing holy basil in the south or southeast direction. “According to Vaastu, placing Tulsi plant in the south may cause problems in marriage or adversely affect finances,” warns Vaastukar.
Spaces to avoid
Centre of the Office: The centre or Bramhasthan should be kept clear so that the energy can move freely.
Southwest: Avoid placing water plants here as it can undermine the stability of the business and cause disputes among people in the office. It will also have a negative impact on the relationship between the business owner and the customers.
West: According to Vaastu principles, plants placed in the west may cause financial difficulties and health problems to the person residing there.
North-West: Placing plants here will have a negative impact on the support of business owners. Employees will not work in this office for a long time and placing plants in the North-West will always result in understaffing.
Dark Corners: Plants need light to grow, so avoid placing your plants in dark areas where negative energy can build up.
