[ecis2016.org] We list some indoor plants that are ideal to be placed inside a small apartment, room or your dorm
Who does not like adding a tinge of nature to their home décor? However, for people staying in cities like Mumbai, where apartment sizes are small, placing a plant at an apt place can be a challenge. The only solution is to choose indoor plants that can thrive in limited spaces, with minimal sunshine and care. The thumb rule is to opt for small pots and plants with small branches, so that the place does not look cluttered. If you have a spare wall near the balcony, you can also use the vertical space to plant climbers, as this will leave a lot of ground area while adding lots of greenery in the house.
