Aralia black has beautiful serrated leaves and deep foliage. These plants are fairly easy to grow and care for. They require moderate humidity. The plant can reach anywhere between 7 to 12 feet. Overwatering can easily kill the plant. Bugs and insects are quite visible and can be handpicked and thrown away. Trimming the tips of the leaves will promote growth.
Croton plants come in many different varieties. Some of these varieties are Codiaeum variegatum in Petra, Zanzibar, Maroon, Captain Kidd, Duck Foot, etc. Duck Foot has gorgeous colourful foliage and pumps energy into any room. This plant is called Duck Foot because the leaves are shaped like a duck’s foot. These plants bloom in summer with beautiful cream-coloured flowers.
Black Kodia loves water and humus during summer. It is a low-maintenance plant and requires less pruning compared to other shrubs. The leaves develop an intense black colour in full sunlight, and the colour fades as the light becomes less intense. The plant blooms in the rainy season and has white flowers.
The Ixora plant looks gorgeous when it blooms in summer. The plant has clusters of star-shaped flowers that occur in different colours, but yellow looks the brightest. Once the flowers bloom, it takes time for the plant to bloom again. The leaves have a leathery texture, and it is also known as West Indian Jasmine. These plants are also great choices for bonsai.
This plant is also known as the umbrella plant because its leaves form an umbrella shape in clusters. The leaves are dark green and golden and add beauty to any room in the house.
Caring for the plant is very easy, and the plant keeps growing with minimal care for years. A sign that the plant is dying is that the leaves will start dropping very fast.
Even if all the leaves fall out, moving the plant outside in spring weather and giving it plenty of water will enable it to grow new leaves.
Buy Tagar Variegated
Tagar is a beautiful flowering plant whose flowers have a lovely smell. Any room can be elevated by adding a tagar plant. The plant has white flowers and is also called crepe jasmine.
The plant is relatively easy to grow, but you must be mindful that the soil is not wet in winter. This can be fatal to the plant. The soil needs to be well-drained. Once the plant blooms, it can be shown off.

The flowers can vary in colour from blue, violet, and white. Duranta is known by many names, such as nilkanta, mana arangba, golden dewdrop, etc.
8. Gardenia Ananta

10. Peacock Plant
Also called the Persian Shield, this one has very intense foliage. The leaves are dark green but appear violet because they have a violet overtone.
