Why You Shouldn't Cut Trees, Leaves, and Flowers at Night!
At night, it's commonly advised in Hinduism and Vastu Shastra not to interact with plants by cutting leaves or flowers. This practice is deeply rooted in religious and scientific reasons. According to these beliefs, like humans and animals, plants are also living beings that require rest. Disturbing them at night, which is considered their resting time, is thought to bring negative consequences. This tradition stems from the idea that plants, too, sleep at night and cutting them during this time is akin to waking a sleeping person without a reason, which is regarded as improper. Scientifically, it's believed that while plants release oxygen during the day, they emit carbon dioxide at night. Being around them in large numbers during these hours can lead to oxygen scarcity, which is why it's discouraged to interact with them during night hours.
