According to vastu, plants are not considered good in an apartment -- apart from the living room and balcony. Therefore, the rising popularity of artificial plants and turf. According to expert SK Mehta, these 'green' elements not only decorate spaces, but also help in removing vastudoshas.
1. Artificial plants can help camouflage ruined or damaged walls, which not only will help the room look good but also help in re-creating positivity.
2. Natural plants are prone to dulling, wilting and diseases – all causes of negativity. These shortcomings are made good with artificial plants. The only condition is that you keep them free of dust – which is also a cause of negativity.
3. A pillar with a pointed corner inside a room is considered unlucky. People whose home has this issue are unable to capitalize on opportunities and are always stressed. You can cover this up by an artificial creeper.
4. The East, North East or South East directions can be filled with artificial turf. But keep in mind that while doing so the East and North East sections do not become more elevated than the rest of the floor. To prevent this, the areas to be turfed can be sunken in the beginning itself by about 1 to 2 inches.
