If we have our own house sometimes, we also get a place for gardening in front of the house. We can also plant vegetables or fruit trees there,(such as fruit plants are grafted mango tree, Chicco fruits plant, dragon fruit plant, jamrul fruit). Vegetables plants such as (ladies finger, tomato, brinjal, green chilli). The ground can always be planted with large trees, the growth of that tree is good.

Indoors we can keep some oxygen producing plants. Study room we will keep plants which will help us to increase our concentration and keep our mental health,(such as lucky Bamboo, z plant, spider plant).

Some of us live in our own houses or some of us live in flats. If in a flat we can decorate a beautiful balcony with small plants. If we get a balcony with sunlight, we can also plant some small seasonal flowering plants, such as (winter season plants-marigold, rose, calendula etc).We can also plant some indoor plants that need less sunlight,(rubber plant,zzplant snake plant, money plant). Since there is less space to decorate the balcony, we can keep some hanging plants (winter season hanging flowering plants such as flame vine petunia, pansy, dianthus etc).

A healthy plant helps keep us in good spirits but seeing an unhealthy plant in your room makes you more upset when you come back home mentally and physically tired and see a healthy green plant, you will be mentally calm. Some valuable tips with help you a lot for plant care.

All plants require light for photo synthesis. Oxygen is released as a by product of photo synthesis. Indoor plants sometimes can be placed on balconies or windows with sunlight areas, (Palm tree,croton,aloevera).Which will help the plants to be a little healthier. Indoor plants should not be placed in full sunlight. 2 hours of sunlight in the morning suitable for these plants. We can provide indoor plants with sunlight 3 days a week. So that the greenery of the plant will be maintained.

If we can get a little space near the kitchen window, we can make a small kitchen garden there. There we can cultivate some herbs plants, (such as Tulsi, coriander plants, Garlic Plant).

Thus, we can decorate our dream house by choosing the right plant.

Understand the Lighting Needs:

Trees are the beauty of our home, so we need to take care of them

After plant a new plant on balcony or roof we will keep it in a shady place for a few days until the plant is healthy. In hot weather above 40 Digress, green nets can be used to for burning leaves.

Choosing the right container for plants is also important for plant growth which helps to keep the plant healthy.

Pick a good container of plant

Loamy soil is ideal for growing vegetables, such as carrots, green beans cucumbers, strawberries etc. loamy soil has sufficient aeration. It is well suited for cultivation. Roots of plants get enough water air and space to grow. You can plant almost all plants in loamy soil.

We will not take large containers in places like balcony and roofs. We can also use grow bags to keep balconies and rooftops. Which protects our roof and balcony from being overloaded some plastic decodable container can be used for plant. Plastic Containers can also be used for hanging plants,(such as golden pothos, afro plant, jew plant).

A gardening area in front of our house where we can plant tress in large clay pot or terracotta pots or direct soil. These will improve plant bushy and healthy.

Here are some steps you can take when planting in a terracotta pot.

For indoor plant small ceramic pot can be used. Which can enhance our room environment. Small plant such as (cactus, philodendron, snake plant, zz plant, z plant) we can use small colouring and designer ceramic pots for these plants. Medium ceramic pots are suitable for indoor plants such as palm trees, snake plant

Wet the roots of your plant before potting so they have energy to take root.
Put at least three inches of composed in the bottom of the pot. If your pot has drainage holes larger than 1 inch in diameter, you can add stones or broken pieces of terracotta over the holes to prevent composed from falling through.
It is better not to apply any fertilizers or pesticides to new seedlings.
Ceramic pots and plastic pots should also be planted like this.

We can also paint clay pot and make them suitable for planting, which will low cost and will also look beautiful.

We have to be careful when planting new saplings. For new sapling we need to change a pot minimum after a week. As the plant grows, we have to change the pot.

We have to be careful in making a new pot. Clay pot and ceramic pots that have a hole. .We will close that hole a small broken pieces of clay pot.

Always use the right soil

Soil is an essential element of plants. Different soils are suitable for different plants to grow. Cactus, rubber plants z plant, money plant, different types of pothos does well in mixed sandy soil with mix soil.

Lettuce, chard, snap beans and other crops with shallow roots benefit from clay soil’s ability to retain moisture, and broccoli cabbage often grow better in clay soil.

Plant trees and stay healthy.

Don’t forget water your plants

Vermicompost, kitchen compost and cockpit in suitable for plants. We can use them instead of soil. It is light weight and very beneficial for plants. We can make kitchen compost at home.

As plants need water when the soil is dry, over watering harms for plants. Over watering can kill plant root. The leaves turn yellow and fall off. When the soil of the plant is dry, a little soil is to be dug up so that the water can drain well. Sometimes the leaves of indoor plants should be sprayed with water. In hot weather, the plant should be watered in the morning or afternoon after the sun goes down. In monsoon when it rains a lot fungicide should be applied once in 15 days.

Feeding plants is required too

We know that trees have life. So just we need food, plants also need food. Which will help the plant to grow properly. When we plant the new sapling, we should prepare the soil with food and plant the sapling. When the plant grows, it can be fed once a week. If we can provide homemade organic food, that’s great. Sometimes needs to be sprayed with insecticide treated water.

Branches should be pruned

Pruning is when selectively remove branches from a tree. The goal is to remove unwanted branches, and direct new healthy growth. Pruning can be done before monsoon. Monsoon water helps the stem branches to grow. The fruit and flower of the seasonal plant can be after the flowering period has ended.

When we first start gardening, we should start gardening with very simple plants. While gardening, we can know about plants. Trees give us a lot of things if we take care of them. A healthy tree also improves the mental condition of people. Thus, we can decorate our dream house by choosing the right plant.
