Finding the Perfect Green Companions for Your Space
Not all plants are built the same—some love the limelight (full sun), while others prefer a little shade and peace. Whether you have a cozy balcony or a sprawling terrace, choosing the right plants makes all the difference in making the place lush and lively. Let’s break it down for Delhi’s climate and your balconies & terraces.
Balcony Plants: Compact & Hardy
Balconies have limited space, often indirect sunlight and are more prone to wind exposure, so plants here should be adaptable to these conditions.
🌱 Best Balcony Plants:
Money Plant: Thrives in low maintenance and gives a lush green look.
Areca Palm: Adds a tropical touch and filters air pollutants.
Jade Plant: A tough succulent that stores water, making it drought-resistant.
Peace Lily: A natural air purifier that blooms in shade.
Snake Plant: Releases oxygen at night and survives tough conditions.
Terrace Plants: Sun-Loving & Expansive
Terraces usually receive full sunlight, so it’s best to opt for heat-resistant and sturdy plants.
🌿 Best Terrace Plants:
Hibiscus: Beautiful flowers and perfect for Delhi’s summers.
Bougainvillea: Thrives in heat and adds vibrant colors.
Frangipani (Plumeria): Low maintenance with fragrant flowers.
Aloe Vera: Medicinal, easy to grow & also purifies air naturally.
Ficus Benjamina (Weeping Fig): A versatile tree for shaded corners.
Common Plants for Both Spaces
Some plants don’t mind where they’re placed, as long as they get the right care.
🍀 Best Common Plants:
Tulsi (Holy Basil): Loves sunlight and improves air quality.
Spider Plant: Grows in partial sun or full shade, a natural air filter.
Marigold: Adds bright colors, repels pests, hardy, low-maintenance, & resistant to Delhi’s dust and pollution.
Lavender: Loves full sun and keeps mosquitoes away.
Maintenance Made Easy
Watering: Early morning or late evening is best; avoid overwatering.
Soil & Fertilization: Use well-draining soil with organic compost.
Pest Control: Neem oil spray keeps bugs away naturally.
