Being confined to indoors and with a lot of time on their hands, people got creative during the coronavirus pandemic. Dalgona coffee was churned, banana bread was baked, workout routines turned into internet challenges.
But people were hungry to learn more. The locked-down janta turned to Google to learn or better their home gardening skills - something that has seen a considerable spike since the coronavirus outbreak turned into a pandemic.
Plants are like pets. They have their own specific needs and set routines. Under-watering can hurt them, over-watering can turn them droopy, and deriving them of an occasional meal of compost can drain them of their essential nutrients.
Growing an edible or flowering plant in your kitchen or apartment balcony is no easy feat. There's no instant gratification and the process of a seed turning into a seedling to a bushy, healthy plant requires a lot of patience, love and labour.
Starting out gardening at home can seem daunting at first and may leave you in a maze of questions - is the sunlight ample? Can my plants grow in artificial light? What are the best air-purifying plants? Which plant requires less attention? Why is my plant dying?
This is where gardening pundits on YouTube come into the picture.

The theme for World Environment Day 2020 is biodiversity, a concern described as "both urgent and existential" by the Environment Day committee on its website. This year, the day is being observed with calls for urgent actions to protect our planet's biodiversity. "The emergence of COVID-19 has underscored the fact that, when we destroy biodiversity, we destroy the system that supports human life. By upsetting the delicate balance of nature, we have created ideal conditions for pathogens - including coronaviruses - to spread," says the World Environment Day website.
One consequence of coronavirus-induced lockdowns around the world has been lower air pollution levels. In April, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) reported 46 per cent reduction in PM2.5 levels and 50 per cent depletion in PM10 concentrations in Delhi - one of the most polluted capitals in the world. As the world begins to emerge out of lockdowns and businesses resume, it is important to take steps to ensure that the air we breathe continues to remain clean. Studies show that breathing clean air can contribute to better health. Here are some plants that will purify the air in your house:
