India Nov 10, 2025

As Delhi's air quality keeps getting worse, more people are turning to "air-purifying" indoor plants to help clear the air at home.
Plants like Areca Palm, Snake Plant, and Peace Lily are in high demand, as city residents look for natural ways to deal with pollution and breathe a little easier indoors.

Sales have doubled, say nursery owners

Delhi nurseries say sales of these plants have doubled—Ashok Kumar from Saini Plant Home shared they're now selling over 100 a day.
Buyers aren't just grabbing anything green; they're specifically asking for top air-cleaning plants by name.
Prices range from ₹200 to ₹1,500 depending on size, showing people are willing to invest in cleaner air.
