Key takeaways
Common Vastu guidance places tulsi and leafy plants in the North, North-East or East, large trees toward the South and West, and avoids thorny plants indoors. Plants are a matter of care and light as much as direction.
A Vastu report is only as good as the North direction and boundary you set on your own plan. For a standard rectangular home or office, the automated grids answer most directional questions honestly; book a consultation when the plot is irregular or the decision is irreversible.
