Indoor plants and lighting!

What in the world are indoor plants? Do indoor or houseplants need light? How much light is good light? Does indoor light mean streaming natural light? Is artificial light enough? We often get these questions from our customers. Hope this blog will help you quell all those questions! First things first, there is nothing called a truly indoor plant that thrives in complete low, dull, warm indoor light that we usually have in modern homes. Yes, many can survive, but to thrive, they definitely need good bright light and to top it, small glances of Doctor Sun is an absolute bliss.

Earlier known for its pendulous flowers (in the case of Tuberous Begonias), today this species is mainly known for its foliage variety which can be grown as ornamental potted plants in a greenhouse or at home. With 1,795 species, the genus Begonia is one of the largest genera among the Angiosperms. The genus was first identified and documented in 1700 and named in honour of Michel Begon, a French botanist and administrator of Santo Domingo in the West Indies. Begonias are widespread in the world, and have adapted to varying conditions, resulting in the extensive variety seen in the species. They occur in tropical and temperate climates of South America, Central America, Africa and South Asia. Some of the different types of Begonias are: · T...
