Greenery is a luxury in most urban areas. While most planned townships and housing complexes aim to incorporate green spaces, having plants within our homes can have a substantial positive impact on our well-being. Benefits of having plants in the house include enhanced aesthetic value, pure air, better immunity and even better mental health.
With urban homes facing a space crunch, adding greenery to the house seems like a farfetched idea. But the fact is nature is exceptionally resilient and can thrive in the most challenging conditions.
Like every home improvement project, gardening at home requires a significant investment of time and money. It is prudent to test your skills and natural conditions by purchasing a few plants as the first step instead of filling up your balcony and home with plants. A home garden requires a lot of TLC, and not everyone has a green thumb. Begin slow. Start with creating a plan which outlines where you can safely place the plants and which ones you would like to have in your home. Buy a few of these and expand your garden as time goes by.
When we think of home gardens, we immediately visualise indoor foliage, palms, flowering and tree type plants. But just like everything else in your home, your plants can be a reflection of your personality, and you can even get creative while planning your home garden. If you are a home chef who likes experimenting, you can try to grow herbs and spices such as basil, oregano, mint, lavender,
thyme, etc. It is also possible to grow certain vegetables at home. If you prefer something colourful and creative, unique succulents are an excellent option for you. Just like us, plants also have unique personalities and traits. Pick the ones that personally appeal to you
