Difficult growth
While a beautiful balcony or home garden is a delight to look at, often, people take up plants that wear them out as they are extremely difficult to grow. Here we list some of those plants and the reason why they can be difficult to grow.

Orchid
Orchids are famous for their beauty but are extremely difficult to grow. One of the main challenges with orchids is maintaining the right temperature for their growth. They grow best in high humidity, which can be difficult indoors.

​Boston fern
Boston ferns are bright, green, and flowy, but also difficult to grow and maintain. Boston ferns need to be consistently moist but not waterlogged, and also need a good temperature to grow.

​Monstera
Monstera, while beautiful to look at, is very difficult to grow. They need bright, indirect light, but too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn. Plus, balancing their watering needs is also a challenge; they should not be overwatered or left to dry out completely.

Ghost pepper
In the Northeastern parts of India, Ghost pepper plants are a common sight. Ghost peppers need a warm climate and stable temperatures to grow which can be quite difficult in the winter months. And then in summer, they are known to attract pests and mites.

Tulsi
Tulsi is one of the most respected plants for Hindus all over the world. But, it is also very difficult to grow for some people as it dries out pretty easily. Tulsi plants need warm temperatures, but not intense direct sunlight and regular watering.
