Shiva Om Dear Friends,

To the best of my knowledge and experience I have not come across any classical scripture having talked about the plantation of this particular plant. In all probability it is not even of Indian origin and hence there is no mention about it.

However, in order to answer your question I would put to use well established Vastu Shastra norms which clearly state that Golden Duranta which to the best of my knowledge is like a short shrub is best planted in the North and the East directions. Its colour also is in sync with these directions. The South and West directions are normally reserved for plants and trees which grow very tall and are dense.

You will need to ensure that the Golden Duranta is well trimmed and maintained so that it does not generate any kind of a negative energy. Dying and dead Golden Duranta’s should be removed and disposed off immediately. You will also need to ensure that the Golden Duranta does not grow very tall ( which to my limited knowledge generally does not happen ) or else the entire idea of planting it in the North or the East direction is lost. It will then cut you away from the vital “Pranic” and “Jaivic” energies emanating from these Source directions.

I earnestly hope that this humble Blog has been both meaningful and useful to you.

Shivam Kalyanam,
