  • Great for living areas
  • One needs about 4 shoulder-high plants/person
  • Needs to be put outdoors once every 3–4 months
  • The leaves of the plant need to be wiped every day in Delhi and perhaps once a week in a cleaner city
  • The soil used should be of vermi manure or use hydroponics

    • Mother-in-Law's Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata)
