4 things to watch out for when planting large trees.

Planting trees, especially large trees, has its own set of precautions and suitable locations according to Feng Shui principles:

1. Large trees should not be planted in small houses.

This is a Feng Shui rule, as it can cause more harm than good. The most obvious consequence is that large trees can damage the house's foundation, and their branches can damage the house itself. This must be considered when planting large trees in a house.
Most problems arise because the trees haven't fully grown yet. After three years, they are as tall as the house. This affects not only the homeowner's house but also neighboring houses, as the tree encroaches on their property and falling leaves create litter, leading to dissatisfaction and conflict.

2. Planting large trees on the west side.

The ideal locations for planting large trees in a house are generally known to be on the west side to block the afternoon sun, and the southwest side to block strong monsoon winds during the rainy season. Large trees can help reduce the wind's force before it reaches the house.

However, be careful not to choose large, fragile trees like the Ficus benghalensis (Syzygium cumini) for this direction, as the tree might fall and damage your house.

3. Do not plant trees surrounding the house.

Planting too many large trees is considered bad in Feng Shui because it creates a "Yin" environment. A house completely covered by trees will experience excessive humidity, making residents more susceptible to illness, especially respiratory problems. A good house should receive some sunlight to kill germs; large trees block sunlight.

4. Do not build a house over a tree.

Building a house over a large tree is considered detrimental in Feng Shui. From the outside, it looks like the house is being destroyed. Furthermore, large trees within the house will easily attract insects, negatively impacting the inhabitants.
