Where it is used

Principle

Indoor Plants in Every Home, but No Fruit Trees Indoors and None in the Bedroom

Trees and plants capture about 90 percent of the solar energy that reaches the earth and give it out through the day, so every home needs indoor plants in galleries and around the living areas. Fruit-bearing trees must stay outside, and no plant goes in the bedroom.

Galleries and living areas inside; fruit trees in the outer garden

Principle

Trees to Keep Away from the Home: Peepal, Banyan, Tamarind, Pakad, Ber and More

Peepal, banyan, tamarind and pakad must never stand inside the house premises, and date palm, pomegranate, banana and ber also harm the household. A tree whose shadow falls on the house beyond the first and last prahar of the day causes trouble.

Questions and answers

Why is the banana tree prohibited when it belongs to Jupiter?

No fruit-bearing tree is meant to be an indoor plant. If there is a garden, plant it there, not inside the house; otherwise fruit trees bring trouble for the children, as Varahamihira says.
