If there is one hobby that has emerged at the top of all pandemic hobbies, it is growing plants indoors. For seasoned plant hobbyists, taking care of a full corridor of plants outside their homes is second nature to them. But for the rest of us, indoor plants are a good place to start. This is especially so with Singapore’s abundant sunlight, which means that there is no shortage of rays streaming through our windows.
Not sure where to get plants or hate plain brown pots that don’t do anything for your home aesthetic? We have collated a list of 10 places to buy indoor plants and stylish planters to elevate your living space.
