I would say not too much, but since I've been planting since a young age, I should say that plants need lots of care and attention. We cannot just leave it as it is, so we need to water them according to the need. Some plants can be watered daily and some plants need to water just one.

× I have various kinds of plants in my garden as well as bedroom because it provides a kind of a. Calmer energy and also purifies the air.
✓ I have various kinds of plants in my garden as well as the bedroom because they provide a kind of calmer energy and also purify the air.
The definite article 'the' is needed before 'bedroom' to specify the particular room. Also, 'plants' is plural, so the verb should be 'provide' and 'purify' to agree in number. 'A kind of a calmer energy' is awkward; 'a kind of calmer energy' is better.
× When I was young I used to plant a lot and my favorite was a snake plant and Z plant because it used to look very pretty and I also used it in my bedroom as a decorator.
✓ When I was young, I used to plant a lot and my favorites were a snake plant and a Z plant because they used to look very pretty and I also used them in my bedroom as decorations.
The subject 'favorites' is plural, so 'was' should be 'were'. Also, 'snake plant and Z plant' are two plants, so 'they' and 'used them' are correct. 'Decorator' is a noun meaning a person; 'decorations' is the correct noun for objects used to decorate.
× Some plants can be watered daily and some plants need to water just one.
✓ Some plants can be watered daily and some plants need to be watered just once.
The phrase 'need to water just one' is incorrect. It should be 'need to be watered just once' to correctly use the passive form and express frequency.
× Yes, definitely, because plant can be a form of gift so people can send it and me myself I have send a lot of friends, the plant I have grown in my garden itself.
✓ Yes, definitely, because a plant can be a form of gift so people can send it and I myself have sent a lot of friends the plants I have grown in my garden.
The noun 'plant' needs the indefinite article 'a'. The phrase 'me myself I have send' is incorrect; it should be 'I myself have sent'. Also, 'send' should be past participle 'sent' after 'have'. 'The plant' should be plural 'the plants' to match 'a lot of friends'.
