The common belief that stealing a money plant brings wealth is a myth according to Vastu and religious principles. Vastu Shastra states that taking something without permission invites negative energy, causing mental stress and disputes. In Hinduism, stealing is considered a bad karma that cannot yield positive results. The correct way to bring a money plant home is by purchasing it or getting a cutting from a known person with love. Placing it in the South-East direction, associated with Lord Ganesha and Venus, is considered auspicious. Keeping a dry or withered plant is discouraged as it attracts negativity. https://www.tv9hindi.com/religion/stolen-money-plant-for-wealth-debunking-the-myth-and-vastu-truth-3850653.html
