If you’re someone living in Delhi NCR — maybe juggling deadlines, school runs, and weekend family time — you probably wish your home felt calmer, cleaner, and more healing.
There’s something really grounding about having plants in your home. Especially the kind that silently work in the background, asking for very little and giving so much in return.
Let me tell you about two such green companions I’ve personally come to admire: the Snake Plant and Aloe Vera.
🌬️ 1. They Literally Clean Your Air While You Sleep
This isn’t just feel-good plant talk. Both Snake Plant (Sansevieria) and Aloe Vera are actually listed in the NASA Clean Air Study. They naturally filter out toxins like formaldehyde and benzene — chemicals we often don’t realize are present in our paints, furniture, or even cleaning sprays.
And Snake Plant? It keeps doing this even at night. So while you sleep, it’s working. No charging. No filters to change. Just a living, breathing air-purifier in a pot.
🌿 2. They Don’t Complain About Delhi’s Harsh Weather
If you live in Delhi, you know the extremes: 45°C summers, freezing winters, and a monsoon that feels like it came from nowhere.
But guess what? These plants don’t mind.
- They thrive in low humidity, occasional neglect, and indoor corners.
- Whether your AC is on full blast or you forgot to water for a week — they’ll still be there, standing tall.
No drama. No drooping leaves. Just quiet resilience — the kind we all need a little more of.
🧘♀️ 3. Perfect for Busy Working Professionals
Let’s be real: between Delhi traffic, Gurugram commutes, Zoom calls, and dinner planning — who really has time to care for fussy plants?
That’s why I recommend these to every working professional I meet.
- You water them once in 10–14 days.
- They don’t mind where you keep them.
- They make your desk, your corner table, or even your entryway feel alive.
You don’t need to “parent” them. And still, they show up for you — every single day.
👧🏻 4. A Gentle Way to Teach Young Children Responsibility
This one’s close to my heart. If you have young kids at home, a Snake Plant or Aloe Vera can be more than décor — it can be a little life lesson.
- Teach them how to water it gently.
- Help them observe how the leaves grow.
- Let them take care of “their plant.”
It builds observation skills, patience, and a quiet kind of connection with nature. A small habit that goes a long way.
And honestly, it’s beautiful to see your child stop and look at a new leaf emerging and say, “Mumma, it grew!”
🎁 5. They Look Good. Feel Better.
Want your space to look peaceful, clean, and Insta-worthy?
- Snake Plant adds structure to any room — tall, upright leaves that work with minimal or modern interiors.
- Aloe Vera brings softness — and doubles as a natural remedy for skin burns, cuts, and even some DIY skincare!
Place them near your bathroom, by the window, or your reading nook — and watch the energy of the room shift.

💚 Final Thoughts (From One Plant Lover to Another)
Sometimes, small things — like a sturdy Snake Plant in your hallway or an Aloe Vera on your windowsill — become quiet companions in your everyday life.
They clean your air. They ask for very little. And in return, they give you cleaner breath, calmer spaces, and a deeper connection to nature — even in the middle of noisy, bustling Delhi.
If you’ve been thinking of adding something green to your life, this might just be your sign.
