It is a favorite pastime for housewives, grannies, and young people who have green thumbs. Actually, some of the enthusiasts turn it into business.

1.       Aloe vera

Aloe vera is one of the easiest plants to grow and requires the least amount of attention. Yet, it has the slowest pace in terms of growth.

If you are wondering if this is the same plant that is the source of herbal components for shampoos and lotions, this is exactly the one. Other types of aloe vera are even used for intakes like the tea and other forms of beverages.

But what is amazing is that this type of indoor plant is nice to blend with other ornamental plants. From few inches up to a foot tall, this can be a great decor along with the other plants because of its attractive flowers.

This charmed plant is planted in a container with regular water replacements. Usually, pretty stones are added around it for beautification. It can live even during winters as it survives dark regions as part of its unusual characteristic.

       Bonsai

Bonsai plants are known to be the cutest tree ever. With so much art incorporated in this miniature plant, the minute details for ornamental purposes are very impressive. Sometimes, there are misconceptions on bonsai as dwarfs. But scientifically speaking, they do not involve genetic processes to produce little versions of big trees. It’s just a matter of cultivating skills.

For indoor gardening greenhorns, they buy bonsai plants which are already grown and trimmed. But for some, they wanted it to grow for themselves - that is from seedlings to shaping. Bonsai also needs to be watered and fertilized regularly but not that incessant. Thus, this makes it cuter.


These suggested indoor plants are considered few of the best choices that you can have in your private homes or public offices. Depending on your personal preference, ornamental plants make your dream come true as an indoor gardener and, maybe, an interior designer as well.
