India is a country with a very versatile climate. Flowering plants that need humidity and sunlight thrive in India. Hence, here are some easy growing indoor flowering plants, that do not need much care and can effectively be added to your daily chore and keep up your hobby.

Peace Lily

Mentioned in our previous blog, this plant is best suited for indoor planting. It is a plant that grows well in shade and requires little or no sunlight hence adds a beauty to the corners in the house that are not lighted by sun’s rays.

It cleans the surrounding air of VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Lavender

Lavender loves sunlight and hence can be kept in the window or balcony which is lit with sunlight. It requires lots of water. But try not to waterlog it. To avoid waterlogging in the pot choose a pot which has a hole at the bottom.
