Sample Answer:
- Well, there are many native plants and crops in various parts of India.
- Here, I would like to talk about a plant that I’m quite familiar with, which is Aloe Vera.
- Aloe vera is a succulent plant, and different species can be found in all parts of the world.
- It does not require more water and light to survive, so it can be grown anywhere.
- People usually grow this plant indoors as well as outdoors, either in plant pots or directly on the ground.
- The average height of the plant is around 60-100 cm and it has triangular, fleshy green leaves with serrated edges.
- I am very familiar with this plant because it has been available in my home for many years.
- I have to say the Aloe plant enhances the beauty of our home or terrace, as it looks very attractive.
- I like this plant because it has many health benefits due to its medical properties.
- It increases the oxygen level in our room if we keep it in a plant pot.
- One thing that I don’t like about aloe vera is that it irritates my skin when I apply it to my face.
- It is important for my country because it is used in various ayurvedic and allopathic medicines, due to its antibacterial, antiviral, and antiseptic properties
- I personally love spending time doing gardening in my leisure time, so every day I give water to Aloe Vera plants at my home.
- So, this is the plant that I’m familiar with.

I would say pupils learn gardening at school by taking part in extracurricular activities. However, very few schools are doing such activities, due to a lack of space and interest of students.

Well, India has tropical weather conditions, so all types of plants and crows can be easily grown here. Although all plants are considered main plants in India, Holy basil is the most popular among Indians because of its religious beliefs and health benefits.
