Due to various reasons including the fast-growing urban cities and the so called ‘development’, there is a scarcity of terrestrial space for growing plants and these factors eventually led to the today’s “forced indoor gardens”. But in original sense of gardening, indoor gardens were integral part of garden landscape and encouraged due the following reasons
Indoor plants help in reducing stress levels and thus increasing the productivity!
Indoor plants add charm to the architectural beauty of the house and compliment the interior settings
Live plants sharpen your attention
Brings fun of growing and joy of caring in kids
And of course live plants will spontaneously improve the quality of indoor air!
Nowadays, there is increasing demand for indoor medicinal plants. It is understood that all the medicinal plants
mentioned in our traditional systems are wild and ‘sun loving’ in nature and therefore these plants were never be
the part of indoor environments mainly due to the poor light conditions.
Hence a study was undertaken aiming to standardize the medicinal plants to indoor conditions having Light intensity as the major environmental factor.
A lux meter was used to measure the light intensity of carefully selected 43 species of medicinal plants out of which 18 plants showed profuse growth, 15 plants showed moderate growth, 7 plants showed low growth and 3 plants showed no progress and eventually died. These 18 species of medicinal plants are illustrated here recommending for the indoor gardens with the specification of range of light intensity for each species.
However, in case of plants under air conditioned rooms and fans, it is advised to keep these plants outdoor for a week once in 15 days!
The medicinal uses we mention here are in order to express the importance of these plants and strictly not to be followed as edible or for medicinal purposes without the advise of the certified medical practitioners.
