As per a general notion, an average house in Mumbai around 500 sq. ft. is a lot less than the national average. So dwelling within the country's densest city comes with its own challenges. After which, factors like pollution and stressed lifestyle doesn't make it any better. An exposure to greenery is scientifically proven to be a phenomenal remedy for mood-upliftment and a healthier lifestyle. But isn't there a limit to what one can do beyond their property? Maintaining gardens in domesticated spaces is the solution, and to the compactness of metro areas, vertical gardens are the even better solution.

The vertical garden concept is nothing new to humankind, it has just sneaked back in the general fashion. One can trace back such gardens to the early empires of Babylonia, the Hanging Gardens of modern-day Iraq were once considered one of the wonders of the world. In today's age, many civic authorities are following this practice to beautify and plantify streets of their respective towns and cities. Mexico City is one such capital where nearly all the pillars are beautified with an elaborate flora.

But could this be a domestic thing? Absolutely, probably not on a grander level as the pillars. Your apartment doesn't have a lot of unutilised floor area, but walls are plenty. Choose your favourite wall, or two or more, and get tiny plants and climbers do their job. They not only look just trendy or aesthetic, but they also cleanse indoor air quality and make stressed people slightly less stressed.

The best plants to be planted indoors can be Begonia, Song of India, Bluebells, Peace Lillies and a lot more. You may also visit a nearby plant nursery to choose them in real-time. You may also choose plants on the basis of their caretaking needs, some people prefer the happy-to-be-left out plants, while others feel like babysitting their plants.

There's also a vivid classification of where and how to effectively plant different seedlings in distinct pots, again a general tip, a clay pot is usually the best bet!
