Meet the plant ladies of Kathmandu

Collecting and growing indoor plants is not a new culture in Kathmandu, but a few women are taking it to the next level.

The sight of flower buds blooming and young green leaves on plants never fail to bring a smile on Rekha KC’s face. An avid plant lover, KC has varieties of plants, orchids, spider plants, snake plants, syngonium, and cactuses on the balcony of her house in Dhobighat, Lalitpur. Some of the plants are hung in pots, while some rest on the ground housed in painted bottles.
