For Chennai’s hot and humid climate, succulents like aloe vera and jade plant are great choices. They require minimal water and thrive in bright sunlight.

Herbs like basil, mint, and coriander do really well too. They’re easy to grow and can be used fresh in your cooking

You can also try growing flowering plants like hibiscus and bougainvillea. They add color and can withstand Chennai’s heat.

Vegetables like cherry tomatoes and chilies are also suitable for balcony gardens here. They don’t take up much space and grow well in containers.

Consider growing money plants and spider plants. They are low maintenance and help improve air quality.

Jasmine and marigold are other good options. They’re hardy and the flowers have a lovely fragrance.

You can also grow curry leaves and lemongrass. They’re useful in the kitchen and grow well in the local climate

Don’t forget about snake plants. They’re very resilient and can handle Chennai’s conditions quite well.
