That's right they help getting rid of pollutants. And in this time when vehicals are increasing day by day it's essential that one have some plants/garden at home.

Curious to know.
Most of these plants are reasonably big sized and too heavy to be hung in pots. As you can see from image dieffenbachia is also a heavy plants. Such plants should be planted outdoors but house where children are grown up and there are no dogs or cats, pets that are most inclined to chew household plants, then no problem with them.

Thank you Kalyani for clarifying my doubt.

We too have tulsi plant at our balcony.. Right now we don't have more free space for putting indoor plants. But I would love to have those bonsai plants.

Tulsi is the best choice for space constraints and it also purifies air as it releases oxygen in the surroundings. But I doubt if it can be planted indoors as it requires sunlight. Maybe a brightly corner can work.

True Kalyani. Tulsi is a good choice. But, as you said, it needs Sunlight. Which is why tulsi is planted mostly in open spaces, generally either in the front yard or backyard . But we are concerned with those plants capable of purifying the interiors. Impure interiors are the cause for many diseases.

What you say about bonsai? As far as I know it can be planted indoor, not sure. It purify air too or not.
