A Lover of Bonsai Trees? How does it affect your home?

Did you know that Bonsai Vastu and Bonsai Fengshui principles vastly vary from one another?

But for the uninitiated,

What is the Best Bonsai Tree?

Bonsai is the art of trimming and shortening certain trees' growth but retaining their shape, just like the real trees. These miniature trees are used for ornamental decorations in homes.

Though an ancient practice native to China, and spread across Japan and the Far East Nations, it's still a household favourite! In fact, according to Bonsai Fengshui, a lucky bonsai tree can bring harmony and abundance to your home. However, in our country, according to the tenets of Vastu Shastra, it symbolizes stunted growth!

Yes, it's a somewhat confusing topic!

But still, there is a way for bonsai plants to bring you the power of positivity and prosperity to your home!

Place them in the Balcony or the open spaces! Since they are not a low-light indoor plant, placing them out on the balcony! According to Fengshui, they are best kept at the South & South East Bagua- which deals with fame and wood elements.

So the easiest hack is to place them somewhere on the south side and open space - preferably a balcony or window!

Thus it also satisfies the tenets of both Bonsai Vastu and Bonsai Fengshui!

But Always remember, Bonsai is a technique of growing ornamental trees by shortening their growth. Thus the trees need proper maintenance!
