Having an open terrace private garden in this pent house is a blessing. Not only I get  apiece of land but also a piece of my sky! Life has never been the same, with excitement and joy every plant brings to me. It is a fresh energy, a struggle, a lesson and also the energy of care and selfless love. A beautiful escape I can spend hours watching the plants and the flowers. each one popping to get my attention and love, I have their pet names, I scold them, I pamper them sometimes and it is the best time that is spraying water to them. They are compactly snugly fitted to make the most of this 12x12 feet terrace garden.

The best season for petunias is from October till May. Planting is done after the rains as these do not tolerate heavy rains. Seasonal flowering but it is worth the show!

Plants grow from seeds and are not transplanted by cuttings.

Watering care is most important as they need well draining soil. The roots are very delicate and do not tolerate more water. Even dry spells are not good for the plant as the delicate roots dry up very fast. Regular watering is required daily. Best grown in hanging baskets.

Wide mouthed basket of cane layered with dried roots and dead foliage act as nourishment to this plant. Fertilize it with salts and compost for more flowering but do not over do it.There are a variety of colours and patterns available in this type of flowering plants. And new shades are always added every year by cross breeding seeds of the original colours.

They always flower in bunches and hence quite a number of flowers are always visible on the plant. This is a very nice way of bringing colour in your garden,balcony or window sill. Care must be taken to avoid over watering other wise there is root root and the plant comes out of the pot due to mushy roots.

Too much sunlight also damages the foliage and the green leaves dry out as also the roots dry out resulting in death of the plant. Continuous exposure of direct sunlight must be avoided also keeping in mind that sunlight is very necessary for all flowering plants.Partial shade or place having exposure of sun only during first half of the day is ideal for healthy growth.

The best part is it these plants are available in many colours and flower profusely. They are also cheap and compaed to other flowering plants give more flowers. According to feng shui flowers bring life to the garden and home. Colourful flowers bring positive energy and refresh the environment as well the mood of the viewer. They are the best way to bring colour in your life!

Shaded variety are the most attractive

Beware of the pest attack! they are very delicate and usually attacked by rats and pigeons during summer to cool off during heat. Birds may pluck on the foliage or even uproot the whole plant for getting a cool base to sit!!!! rats can hide below the foliage and nibble on the delicate leaves and flowers. Pinching flowers is also a favorite past time for birds. Cover your plant with a net and place some garden element or black cloth near them to scare the birds. For me a small piece of plastic bag tied around the stems works fine ...till now.....there is daily war of survival with them and I have to be alert to protect my plants from the pigeons.
Also feeding them regularly has kept them satisfied and they do not attack my plants in search for food..

Flowering Cactus Care/Euphorbial Milli /Best Goodluck Feng Shui Plant

Flowering Cactus Euphorbia Milli Goodluck Plant of Thailand

 This is a very beautiful and attractive plant having green foliage and peach coloured flowers all year long. Known as the Auspicious plant of goodluck in Thailand you will see every home adorning with this special cactus plants at entryways. The belief prevails that this cactus plant attracts abundance and goodluck and also provides protection to the home and its inmates from evil eye, spirits and negative energies. The green leaves are elongated and cover the spikes/thorns. 

buy Reiki evil eye paintings.  It has its own protective covering of bright green leaves which conceals the thorns well. This is a good choice for new gardeners as this does not require much care. Absolutely carefree, only watering in few days and it flowers naturally during seasons and most times we see the flowers all year round. 
Last month during heavy rains it had become very slushy and mushy and the stem started to rot. Well it does not tolerate heavy downpour and it is advisable to keep it under part shade during rainy season. This plant also is a favourite home for butterflies to lay eggs due to the extensive green foliage. My plant had nearly more than fifty eggs and though I felt very bad in cleaning them but I had to save my plant. I have noticed the caterpillars have a voracious appetite and if neglected the plant may succumb to continuous feeding by them. They eat up all the leaves and thus you may have stubs of cactus remaining. Once we also had an influence of terrific evil eye and the cactus nearly almost killed itself protecting us! even cactus dies with negative touch-read my experience.

Water requirements are not much and can be watered on alternate days or when the upper layer of the mud seems dry. Compost may be added after few months to replenish the soil from lost nutrition due to watering.
Attractive but only for those that are comfortable with thorny plants. In Feng Shui it is advisable to avoid plants having thorns but I personally feel as in life there is happiness and sadness one cannot oversee the sad moments as they are the real spice in our lives and they make the happy moments more happier! my husband has selected this plant and even though at first I was reluctant to take care of it , somehow it has made a place in my heart with its attractive flowers and bright green leaves.

Peach Coloured Cactus Flowers

The perspective today has changed and people are adding small cactus plants for goodluck and protection. the strength, perseverance of cactus and its ability to grow in stubborn conditions makes it a good feng shuii goodluck plant.
