Indoor beauty

Having an indoor garden puts an impression on people about someone’s personality. Plus, the beautiful flowers and the colourful leaves add an aesthetic charm to the space. Here are 10 reasons why one should have an indoor garden.

Better air quality inside

Indoor plants are experts at improving air quality. Growing plants like aloe vera, pothos, or Ivy can improve and enhance the air you breathe as they are known for filtering out the toxins from the air.

Reduces stress

Coming home to a lush, green room or balcony is extremely calming. Be it the simple activity of watching the plants grow and the flowers bloom, or spending time lightly pruning the leaves and tilling the soil.

Better mood

If there are flowering plants indoors, the fresh scent and fragrance can be an instant mood booster. Imagine coming back home after a long day and the scent of the Jasmine that bloomed invites you in. Wouldn't it be perfect?

​Fresh produce

Indoor gardens can also come in the form of a kitchen garden. And, with a personal kitchen garden comes fresh produce. Growing your own herbs and vegetables, be it mint or tomato, can be extremely rewarding.

Adds an aesthetic

A full, green indoor garden with beautiful leaves and occasionally blooming flowers gives the perfect ‘IT’ girl aesthetic. The glossy leaves of the rubber plants to the beautiful patterns on Monstera leaves, all together it becomes the perfect, aesthetically appealing space.

A form of therapy

Gardening can easily be called a form of therapy today. The slow process that lets you focus 100% on something, be it watching the flowers bloom or mixing in the soil, adds a sense of peace into you, calming you down from within.

Good for the home

Having fresh, healthy plants is also good for the environment and the home. It is said that plants can sense and absorb energies and so growing indoors can help absorb the negativity and promote a better environment at home.

Better sleep

Specific plants, like lavender, jasmine, and chamomile have a soft fragrance to them that is known to put people into a relaxed state thereby helping with better sleep.

It’s more sustainable

Having a kitchen garden is extremely sustainable when it comes to the environment. When people grow their own herbs and certain fruits and veggies, and make their own compost, the need for excess artificial fertilisers reduces.

Some plants are extremely low-maintenance

Often, people hesitate to grow an indoor garden fearing the excess maintenance. But, plants like Snake plants, spider plants, pothos, Jade, and the like are extremely low-maintenance and suited for people with busy schedules.
