Vastu

Tulsi or Holy Basil in Apartments or Flats has various factors to consider for placement and direction. Tulsi or Holi Basil (Ocimum Tenuiflorum) has high significance in Vastu-recommended homes, flats, or apartments in cities.

General recommendations for placement and directions are

• Ensure sufficient sunlight is available
• Uncluttered space near the plant
• Place it high above the ground
• In case of multiple plants have an odd number of them
• Directions
  • Center of the space
  • East or North-East
  • West if the above is not feasible
• Within the flat
  • Please place it in the center of the living space (generally not feasible as this recommendation works for houses/villas/bungalows built on the ground)
  • Or in any of the above-recommended directions
• Outside the flat
  • In any of the terraces following the above-recommended directions

Common questions and suggestions

• What happens if the terrace or balcony itself is not in the recommended direction
  • Even if the terrace/balcony is not in the recommended direction, place it in recommended direction within the terrace/balcony
• What happens if placed inside and sufficient sunlight is not available
  • Have multiple odd-numbered plants outside and switch the plants periodically
