Plants of any kind - (floral, indoors, creepers, herbs) they work like relaxing agent for me. I simply love them around my house.
This plant is one of my favourite (do not know its name) - I call it "Oinon-flower plant". One of my so called aunty gave some bulb last to last year. I saw the same variety, but in different colour (dark pink) at my home town - Andharmanick. I brought it and have planted them but this season only the leaves are growing - maybe next year it will flower.
I took these photos last year, they just look perfect. I can be a good photographer (I love photography too - I'll write about it next time.)
Bhattacharjee jethu (jethu = uncle) brought two money plant "Scindapsus aureus" from Ramnagar, where his 2nd elder brother lives. One money plant, he planted in a small pot and another kept in a watered bottle. Before he left Delhi, he gave the bottle money plant to me. I didn't know how to take care of it; changed the water every 2nd day. It was green but new leaves grew at a very slow pace, but still I was happy with it. Many times, I thought to plant it in a pot, but also liked to see its root through the clear glass. But eventually the green leaves started to turn yellow - yesterday I finally planted it in a pot.
I read in some article that money plant doesn't need much attention. Need little watering and little fertilizer; requires no direct sunlight - so better to keep them indoor or in shade.
The money plant that uncle planted, was growing very fast and looked very healthy - but its new leaves were turning brown. So I kept it at my so called bhabiji’s (sister-in-laws) house. Uncle’s all plants are kept on the terrace; the place gets shady at around 1pm – but money plant was unable to survive.
I was also reading in that article that the colour of leaves (green, dark green or yellow patch mix green) also depends upon how much indirect sunlight it gets; the more darkness it is getting the more greener it gets. Uncle’s money plant is a mix of yellow patch and green. It looks great – very beautiful! P.S. 2 new branches are growing from the bottom of the stem.
I was also studying about “Bamboo Plant”, I‘ll buy one soon. They look so refreshing, the tenant at Bhabiji’s house, has one but some how it dried up (actually they don’t get dried up – they rot and fall apart). Bamboo plants are also very easy to take care and very pleasing to the eyes too. So green - so fresh! I liked the way it is kept; in a glass saucer (with or without coloured stones) with water. Really beautiful! There is a nursery section in “Dilli Haat”, I never knew about it. Now I have a valid reason to visit it.
