Do you identify as a serial plant-killer? Are you someone who scuttles between one shrivelled shrub to another. If yes, this guide will help you start a green family without demanding much of your time and attention. 

Say aloe: The aloe vera plant is short-stemmed with fleshy green leaves. Known for a range of hair, skin and health benefits, this plant requires little care. It can do just fine with two to three days of moderate watering in a week. Keep it in a biggish pot, as it tends to grow fast. Place it in partial sunlight and wait for it to blossom.
