1) Understanding the environment-You really have to understand how much sunlight your garden receives everyday. If its a window garden which is north facing, like for my window garden, it receives almost no direct sunlight. If your garden is East or west it will receive direct sunlight in morning and evening respectively. Winds if heavy will torture the plants daily and many wilt due to pressure of strong winds. Too much direct sunlight also will burn leaves and flowers which again is not good. Thus environment will have a influence on the next step, choosing right type of plants.

2) Choosing type of plants-"Indoor plants" as they are called also need sunlight and don't go literally with the plant sellers who quote that plants grow indoors without sunlight! Ornamental and decorative plants also need indirect sunlight to grow healthy. The Chinese bamboo also needs some indirect sunlight and some direct if you get to grow healthy.
Roses need sunlight but if the plant gets too much direct sunlight the leaves burn and even flowers wilt within half day. Roses need only few hours of direct morning or evening sunlight. All flowering plants need some amount of direct sunlight for flowering.
If you don't get sunlight choose ornamental and indoor plants which are dark green in colour or fleshy and have thick leaves.
If you have less time to spend on daily gardening choose medium sized containers so that plants have water retention and staying power even if you don't water daily.

Jade plants require less care
|
Snake plant, aloe vera, brahma kamal, cactus plants, Chinese evergreen, agave, mother in laws tongue, Chinese bamboo, money plant all are lovely plants which require more love and less care. Hassle free and not need to water daily. They stay even when you go on vacations without care.
|
Anthuriums are also happy with indirect sunlight
|
Sada phuli, vinca rose, petunias, pink white yellow star cluster plants, etc are some flowering plants that are happy with less indirect sunlight but they are seasonal and may wilt off after few months. So if you need fresh gardens choose ornamental plants that are showy and have coloured leaves. My Purple hearts plant is so happy it overflows from pots and even the small cuttings grow dangling in air without any care!

Cactus fleshy leaves require less sunlight and water

3) Acceptance-This is the most important gardening hack. STOP BUYING! You just can't buy whatever you like. Some plants just will never oblige in challenging environments. The process is bitter but acceptance comes over time. I have killed so many plants... daily I pray and bless them for the lessons they gave me in life. With open terrace gardens, counter top garden ,window sill garden, window garden, miniature garden, mini gardens , big and tiny container gardens I have over the years tried so many growing hacks and gardening types and this has always given me so much happiness and my home positive vibes.
I personally take care of my gardens and never tell maid to do the watering. Gardening is love, gardening is passion and it gives so much satisfaction and peace. I trim the dried leaves immediately and keep check on pests and diseases, very alert. Most important secret for an evergreen happy garden, Lots of love and not much daily care is my way. I love to see fresh plants growing without much hassle of trimming ,cutting, watering or adding anything, they just love my love for them! you must immediately stop the negative-as in life so also in gardening!
