So my terrace garden plants were in for a shock with unexpected showers in winter! Mogra suddenly seemed to have dropped most leaves and as the huge leaves, it has grown quiet healthy and wide,(for all those who have missed my garden rants over the years-this plant was sick when we bought it, ten years back,  and while anyone else would have thrown it as dead, I removed each of the red mites using a stick from its roots , manually, and since then this plant has given me very big sized abundant mogra blooms , twice or thrice every year ) so one of my favourites,.

Strong sunlight, they don't like, too much water they repel from and trimming they don't need! so succulents are a different , totally aliens for me! Now at...
