The Lakshmi Kamal plant signifies life and renaissance. It is said in Bhagavad Geeta that each human must perform their duties without any attachment, just like the Lakshmi Kamal plant. The plant’s leaves are close to each other, and they together form a rosette. But even if we divide one leaf from the plant and put it in soil, it propagates itself into a new plant.

It is also represents to be a form of Goddess Lakshmi – the goddess of wealth. Keeping Lakshmi Kamal plant in house is believed to bring wealth and prosperity.

According to Vastu Shashtra, if a Lakshmi Kamal plant is kept in the northeast direction (Ishaan Disha) of the house, it can remove all of the architectural ‘Vastu dosh.’
