How to Plant Rue
It’s said that rue becomes much more potent if a cutting is taken from someone else’s garden and planted in the soil by the person who will use it, because its energy resides in the leaves. If you want to plant it, you need to follow these steps:
Never plant it when you are in a bad mood, feeling depressed, angry, or stressed, so you don’t transmit that energy to the plant.
If you are a woman, you should not plant it during your menstrual cycle.
If you plant rue out of pure curiosity or without believing in its properties, you won’t see results.
Give it time—without overdoing it—so it gets sunlight and you can water it properly.
Currently, there are two known types of rue. The first is considered the male, with larger leaves. The one with smaller leaves is considered female. The male plants should be placed on the left side of the garden, and the female ones on the right.
