Millennials are changing how and why plants are bought

Sharanya Sridhar, 27, and Surya Balakrishnan, 33, are two millennials leading very different lives. The first runs a vegan bakery from her home in Hyderabad, while the other is a filmmaker in Mumbai.

What unites them is their zeal to deck up their homes with a variety of plants. But unlike their previous generations that would hit the nearest nursery to source shrubs, these two are likely to browse for plants online. Both constantly track the Instagram account of Nurserylive, a Pune-based online nursery with more than 52,000 followers.
