The polluted environment of Delhi NCR has put everyone in tension. The air of the indoor is as poisonous as of outside. Daily, air quality index (AQI) is being recorded from very poor to severe condition. To avoid the wrath of pollution, people are doing many activities.

Due to this the business related to horticulture is also going well.

YP Singh, President of the Indian Nurserymen Association, said that the pollution level will go down only by planting more and more trees. Showpiece in homes should be replaced by indoor plants. We should share the importance of trees and plants to the school children. If there are anti-radiation and air purifier plants on the children’s study table and office table, then the lungs will get good air. A lot of time passes in these places. YP Singh said that business was slow before Diwali, now business has started coming. Due to increased pollution in Delhi-NCR, demand for plants have risen. Now small customers are also coming to the nurseries to buy trees and plants. The whole variety of
winter plants has arrived. Pollution has become a permanent problem which needs a permanent solution. From 8th to 11th February 2023, a big plant expo is being organized in Greater Noida. Business to business exhibition will be held on the first two days and business to customer exhibition on the last two days. In this, information about trees and plants will be given to everyone.

The business of these plants picked up a lot in Corona. Lockdown remained for a long time during the Covid-19 era. Meanwhile, people got a chance to do gardening. Got information about plants. There was a demand for fruits, medicine and oxygen plants. He also said that even though all the business or employment may have been damaged in Corona, but the work of the nursery went well.

Effect of inflation on trees and plants:
The demand for oxygen plants increases from November to January. These days the pollution level is high in Delhi-NCR. Everyone wants to have clean air. Now the awareness has increased, so air purifier plants are being installed in the houses. Information about this is being taken on social media and internet. Many times, the plants are called for when the order comes. Inflation has also affected the prices of trees and plants. The prices of seeds and fertilizers have increased. The cost of labor, electricity and water has also increased. Nevertheless, those who like plants are not in a hurry to save more. Seasonal flower plants have also become quite ready. From September, plants and
trees start preparing for winter. Right now, the market is light but it will wake up soon.
