Climate at a Glance: Very high rainfall, high humidity year-round, mild temperatures. Outstanding for shade-loving foliage plants, ferns, orchids. Extremely hostile for succulents and cacti.
🌿 5 Tips for Northeast India Gardeners
- Never grow succulents, cacti, or drought-tolerant plants here — the rain will kill them
- Boston fern, spider plant, pothos, and philodendron grow with extraordinary vigour — minimal care
- Orchids grow semi-wild in many Northeast states — excellent for covered terrace displays
- In Assam's Brahmaputra valley (Guwahati) the climate is less extreme and more plant-friendly
- Grow all vegetables only under covered balconies during the long monsoon period May–October
