Can we keep cactus at home?

I had heard mixed opinions about keeping cactus plants at home, as many experts say that they attract negativity. As a Vastu consultant, while I agree with these opinions, I wouldn’t completely reject the idea of keeping cactus at home. If you ask me, is cactus good for home as per Vastu, I would say, it’s not entirely bad if you follow the right guidelines.

Where to Keep Cactus as Per Vastu?

You might not believe this, but cactus plants are actually a harbinger of positive energy, as they are known to absorb the electromagnetic radiations from your phones. This makes the place free from any kind of heat waves, thereby transmitting positive energy. 

• The best place to keep your cactus is near the main entrance of your house. 

• You can also consider placing them by a window or on your terrace, which does not entirely prohibit them from your home. We have it on our terrace. 

• Apart from home, you can also keep them on your office desk. As they thrive on less water and sunlight, they are believed to extract the noise surrounding them, thus helping you focus better. 

So, I would recommend keeping the cactus plant in the right space and direction of your home. While they may not necessarily enter the house, they actually become a protector of the negative energy. 

I hope this gives you an insight on

where to place cactus plant in home vastu. 

Hello Nimrat, I saw you asking about the cactus at home Vastu, and can tell you that this plant is not considered good. I have also been interested in gardening and have grown a lot of plants in my old house. After moving to a flat, I thought of keeping a cactus, but my mother’s friend who is a Vastu expert, told us not to. 

Why Can’t You Keep a Cactus Plant at Home Vastu?

• The reason behind this is the negativity the cactus plant creates in the house. Plants which have thorns lead to an increase in arguments and fights in the home. The plant is also believed to affect romantic relationships negatively. 

• Apart from this, my mother’s friend told me that the plant is also capable of creating financial problems. She told me that the house areas, such as the hall, bedroom or the main entry should never have the cactus plants.
