The Complete Guide to Choosing the Best Plants for Your Home Garden

Whether you are designing a lush backyard, creating a relaxing balcony garden, or planning a vibrant terrace setup, selecting the right plants is the foundation of a successful home garden. With the right choices, your garden can thrive all year, provide fresh air, boost your mood, and add immense beauty to your space.

In this ultimate guide from the experts at Mahindra Nursery and Kadiyam Nursery, we will walk you through everything you need to know about selecting, growing, and enjoying plants at home. 🌸🌱


🌼 Why Plant Selection Matters?

Choosing the right plants isn’t just about aesthetics. It impacts:

  • Plant Survival Rate – Not all plants suit every location.

  • Maintenance Requirements – Some plants need daily care; others are low-maintenance.

  • Space Utilization – The right size and growth pattern prevent overcrowding.

  • Benefits – From oxygen production to pest repelling, plant benefits vary widely.


📍 Know Your Garden Space

Before buying any plant, evaluate your available space:

Garden Type Considerations
Balcony Garden Lightweight pots, compact plants, wind-tolerant species
Terrace Garden Sun-loving plants, larger containers, drainage setup
Backyard Garden Room for trees, hedges, vegetables, and ornamental plants
Indoor Garden Shade-loving plants, humidity-friendly, aesthetic value

☀️ Sunlight Conditions & Plant Types

One of the most critical aspects of plant selection is understanding how much sun your garden receives.

Sunlight Type Ideal Plants
Full Sun (6-8 hrs/day) Hibiscus, Bougainvillea, Marigold, Lemongrass
Partial Sun (3-5 hrs/day) Areca Palm, Anthurium, Dracaena
Shade (Indirect light) Money Plant, Peace Lily, Snake Plant

I have a wide backyard at home in Adelaide and since it’s still quite empty because we just moved in last week, I plan to shop for plants next weekend to use for our landscaping and improve the way our garden looks. I appreciate you letting us know that croton plants are popular for their green foliage, but they can also turn yellow, orange, or brown, which is why they are recommended for gardens that can receive good sunlight exposure and get watered regularly. I’ll be sure to keep this in mind while I look for a wholesale nursery in Adelaide where I can buy plants for my landscape at home soon. https://www.wholesaleplants.com.au/about/

What caught my attention is when you said that outdoor gardens provide a space for relaxation, so they are becoming more popular. This makes me consider finding a garden center near our place on Monday. I want to create a dedicated space in my garden where I can unwind and destress after a day of work, so I will do your tips on choosing the right plants. https://www.timbaranursery.com.au/

You made a good point when you said that yous said that you must consider how much space you have in your garden and how much time and energy you want to put into it. This is something that I will share with my mother because she is interested in visiting a nursery where she can shop for bamboo plants and other flower plants next Friday. Your tips will help her to find a nursery that has the plants and trees that she is interested in. https://www.peltonpalmsbamboo.com/bamboo
