Keeping indoor plants is a fantastic habit that encourages cleaner air in our homes, especially in the weeks before Diwali. The usage of candles and incense as we get ready for the festival of lights might occasionally have an impact on the air quality indoors. By collecting contaminants and producing oxygen, indoor plants serve as natural air filters, ensuring cleaner and healthier air.

In addition to improving the aesthetic attractiveness of our living spaces, their presence also promotes our general wellbeing, enhancing the festive season's vibrant and reviving atmosphere.
