Grow a sacred symbol of peace and protection with the Rudraksha Tree (Elaeocarpus ganitrus) – a revered plant known for producing the legendary Rudraksha beads.

Used in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, the beads are commonly strung into malas (prayer necklaces) and are believed to carry powerful spiritual energy, promoting calmness, clarity, and inner strength.

The tree itself is elegant, with long green leaves and small blue fruits. Once matured, the seeds inside these fruits can be harvested and dried into Rudraksha beads – each with its own unique lines ("mukhi").

How to care for Rudraksha in tropical climates:

• Light: Full sun to partial shade
• Watering: 2–3 times per week; prefers consistent moisture
• Soil: Rich, well-draining loamy soil
• Growth: Slow in early years; grows into a tall, graceful tree
• Potting: Can start in a large pot, but best moved to ground later

Rudraksha trees require patience, but offer deep spiritual meaning and symbolic value. Many believe that even just planting the tree at home brings positive vibrations and divine protection.
