Principle

Indoor Plants in Every Home, but No Fruit Trees Indoors and None in the Bedroom

Trees and plants capture about 90 percent of the solar energy that reaches the earth and give it out through the day, so every home needs indoor plants in galleries and around the living areas. Fruit-bearing trees must stay outside, and no plant goes in the bedroom.

What it does

To bring captured solar energy into the home while avoiding the harm of fruit trees indoors.

Where

Galleries and living areas inside; fruit trees in the outer garden

Samagri used

  • Non-fruit-bearing indoor plants
  • Fruit trees for an outdoor garden

How to do it

  1. 1Keep indoor plants in the galleries and around the living areas
  2. 2Plant fruit trees only in an outdoor garden, at a good distance from the house
  3. 3Keep the bedroom free of plants

Cautions

  • No fruit-bearing tree or plant inside the house; fruit trees indoors bring trouble for the children, as Varahamihira says
  • No plants in the bedroom

Explanation and notes

Only about 55 percent of the solar energy survives the journey of about 8.8 minutes to the earth, and trees capture about 90 percent of what arrives. The banana, though linked with Jupiter, is barred indoors for the same reason as every fruit tree.
