Home plants are significant, and they have many benefits.  There are good plants and bad plants. Plants like Tulsi, Orchid, Lotus, Money plant are positive and filter the air within the home surrounding.


They promote good Feng Shui.  However, certain plants must not be at home because they bring bad energy and even bad luck at home.

These plants might be responsible for you feeling some type of way. If you feel like you don’t want to stay at home and can’t relax, it isn’t just nerves; it could be the plants you have at home.

There is more than meets the eye when it comes to home plants. Not every plant that looks great and can grow is ideal for your home.  So what are the bad luck plants that should be avoided, and what are their meanings and symbolism?

The Tamarind Plant

Well, this is one plant that grows beautifully and produces the tamarind fruit, which is known for its medicinal properties.  The fruit pulp has high levels of calcium content and other elements like phosphorous.

But this plant should be best grown far from home because it is known to harbor evil spirits, according to Vastu and Feng Shui experts.

Never bring that Tamarind at home because it could be the reason why that bad feeling hangs in the air whenever you are home.


Your guests might also feel the same and even unwelcome for reasons you might not understand, or bad luck happenings might be a frequent occurrence in your home.

The Cotton Plant

The cotton and silk cotton plants are discouraged from having as home plants. They might look so pretty for your décor, but the truth is they are harmful luck plants.

They catch dust quickly when inside the home, and that right there is a sign of bad luck and poverty. Keeping these plants outside your home could be your best option if you must have them.


But, please avoid them altogether. There are many other options that you could keep in your home.

Babul Plant

This plant, whose botanical name is Vachellia Nilotica, is a healing plant that sprouts lovely yellow flowers.

It is not a good idea to keep this plant at home because, according to Vastu experts, the Babul plant has these thorns, which are a sign of great conflicts.


When there is constant conflict at home with this plant inside, consider taking it out. There are beautiful plants that have even better flowers sprouting.

Don’t be fooled by the yellow flowers of this plant; its symbol and meaning is nothing to smile about, and you need to smile and get along with your loved ones in this life.

The Mehendi Plant

Mehendi are also known as myrtle plants. They might be pretty looking, but you are better off not having them at home.


It is also believed that evil and bad spirits love these plants.  This could interfere with positive energy flow and cause you to feel that weird type of way.

Dead Plants

Well, dead plants are an absolute no in the home. Your home should only have plants that are green, positive, and promote fresh air. The leaves should look fresh and the flowers too.

A plant that is dead or dying at home brings very bad energy. When you notice your indoor or outdoor plant is dead, quickly dispose of it and put a fresh plant there instead.


Besides, this dead plant will not do anything for your home décor and sort of gives your home that abandoned look.

You don’t want this; your home should be alive. You don’t want to spread dead energy around, and why would you let the plant die in the first place?

Unless you traveled and were away from home for weeks, you should have dead plants. Nourish and water them when required so you can have live plants that exude good chi.

The Cacti

The cacti are discouraged a lot as a home plant. This is because this plant has sharp spines that enhance negative energy.


The cacti are believed to be a cause of infertility. It could be the reason why you don’t have any offspring or aren’t getting another despite the many attempts.

Getting rid of that cacti plant in your home could be the answer. Replace it with another one that promotes positive energy.

Generally, any kind of thorny plant except for roses should never be kept in the house.  Why would you have a cacti plant in your home when there are many options to choose from?


The Flower Ylang and Frangipani

This is another plant that is strongly discouraged around the home, whether indoor or outdoor. It has these beautiful white and yellow flowers, which have very dark energy.

The plant has a presence of death, especially around its flower. It is a plant best avoid if you want to avoid any death auras around your home. Note that having live plants in your home or office can help balance the energy flow.

Since most homes are concrete and even covered in ceramic, the energy is usually turned off.  However, when the home inhabitants promote good airflow, the rooms become fresh, habitable, and alive.


Living plants do this, and this is why it is encouraged to have a couple of them.  However, always choose your plants carefully.

The above are the bad luck plants that you must always avoid. Take note of these bad luck plants when you are buying plant gifts for your loved ones.

Make sure you avoid them and instead consider the good luck plants that will make your home the best place to live.

Remember, plants are beautiful, but not all of them have positive energy. Always find out more about a plant before you consider bringing one into your home.
