Add This to Your Plants for Big Flowers!It Works!

Amazing February towards ending, welcoming spring with the sunlight time increasing over my little space under the sun, my terrace garden plants are showing lots of changes.

Pink Striped Petunias

Sudden burst of Joy, flowers always make people happier ! The Gardner is always surprised with every new bud, and it immediately changes my mood, no wonder the first thing I begin my day after prayers is visit my garden!
It never ceases to bring happiness, there is some magic!

Crushed Egg Shells

Add this to your plants!since years I have tried this and it works wonders for flowering. Egg shells are food that they love, especially roses. Remember to clean the egg shells thoroughly, as they attracts rats and ants. and this will kill the plants. Clean well, crush them well and spread thoroughly on the soil of your container plants. Do mix the soil by tuning it so that the egg shells do not form a layer over the soil. I have seen boiled egg shells work better than fresh egg shells. All year blooms, roses also improve in size. Will also add a video on how to use this on my You Tube Channel Razarts.

Bud of Amaryllis lily

There are always flowers for those who want to see them!surprised, excitement, since these Lily flowers are huge!

Peace Lily full of buds

The basket of peace Lily plant has burst into white buds, amidst the dark green leaves. Just as winter has moved on welcoming spring ,s o has my garden changed its colour, and there will be a riot of colors within a few days!

New additions Petunias

Petunias are so beautiful, but very delicate. I have killed so many...and yes, was also lucky to get some great ones that lasted for more than six months in container. Very beautiful attractive big sized showy blooms, reds, pinks,, violets, shaded and striped, petunias rule the flower show. protect them from over watering, very soft root ball, transplantation is very difficult. And of course, birds love to eat the flowers and rats also love them!
so if you have direct sunlight for few hours and the heavenly birds let the plants grow , these petunias are the best to bring instant happiness and colour to your garden and your life!
Flowers don't solve your problems but they are a great beginning!
Every flower heals the soul as it blossoms. Planted hope, some seeds of Fire cracker...lets see...
Your mind is a Garden, keep it beautiful!

Simple Practical 9 Tips for Garden pests Mixture! How to prevent diseases in your garden container plants

These tiny creepy worms!

Beware of the garden pest,especially during winters when the sun is low, they attack!The photo is of a wild jungle tree during a trekking trip and was amazed to see so many of them! Tiny feet, and groups , no wonder they destroy the whole forest!

Burning old art and paper

Sharing a practical workable tip for protection of container plants from many pests and diseases.
After losing so many of them...over the years with terrace container gardening...luckily my anger and outburst of burning my old paper paintings was a blessing in disguise!
With obsessively painting there were so many , and as I continued to paint, there was less space ,so I burned them, and with my love for symbols, just did not want to throw the ashes. I had read about people adding mulch, newspapers to soil for gardening but never tried this till a few years back.And it works!
It works wonders!

making a mushy mixture of ashes

How -the process is important- that will give great results!or you may kill them!
1) Tear the papers in tiny pieces, this helps them burn faster. This tip helps for the final product you get as tiny pieces bring a great mixture.
2) Avoid glossy magazines
3) Burn in space that is free from hazard too life. See that children are safe and protected and also if they see you do very carefully explain about risks of fire.
4) Do not put dry ashes in plant containers.It will form a layer over the soil and rot. also the plants will not get water due to this layer and they will wilt , and don't say I didn't warn you!
5) Always make a mixture of ashes , mix some water and make this a mushy , more of a liquidy mixture and not thick dough.

6) Add over the top layer of your garden plant containers.

7) two days loosen the soil and mix the mixture into the layers of soil. for better absorption.

8) Better to have plants in sunlight, or more sunnier place for avoiding pest attacks.

9) You will see your plants will be protected from pests and also give out large sized blooms! especially roses and mogra! mine did!

Did you use this technique for pest protection and how did it work? do share!

Early Risers Fresh Blooms and Why I plant colours! Feng Shuii for Gardens!

Spider lily flowers

The beginning of new year has brought some more insights in my life gardening over with so many years, and why I always am attracted to colours, being an artist for seventeen years and knowing the importance of colour in life as also being a feng shuii guide and practicing and reading a lot of feng shuii, ...colours are life.
I have also shared that feng shuii gardens have to be balanced according to the Ba Gua map and you can choose colours , shapes, of plants to bring in best feng shuii in your garden.

Orange Aboli flowers

Yes, you can grow your garden in anyway, but if you follow the feng shuii elements theory, you will notice immense difference in harmony, peace and wealth in your life. Relationships miraculously work out well, you attract fame, you feel the energy and power of a refreshing garden.

Simply follow the Ba Gua, you can get more information on my Feng shuii blog.
Just about any sector your garden falls, try to harmonize it with feng shuii choice of plants. There are so many, I am so attracted to colours and flowers, that we have over the years tried and planted almost all colours of different varieties of flowering plants, of course, those who can bear the sunlight from my open terrace garden!
I have loved them and they always love me back manifolds!

Cactus flower Euphorbia Milli

Crown of thorns, evergreen shrub, always loaded with blooms, all year round. Sharp thorns, very dangerous, be really careful in handling and trimming. The flowers are actually bracts at the tips, looking like flowers. The petals, are also very mushy and hence it can live for years without much care. yet, it only flourishes in homes that it chooses, many still are unable to grow this Goodluck plant of Thailand.Commonly also called Christ plant.
Attract wealth and success with Reiki symbol paintings.

Buds of fragrant white Spider lily flowers

Dawn from my home, my little space under the sun!

I am an early riser, in fact I sleep less, it was a realization that came years ago, of course we do get up for dawn, morning prayers and this habit of five times prayers everyday has helped me maintain health and focus in life.the inspiration quote... " there will be more of sleep when I am dead"
You will realize that gardens are best during early morning, you get to experience the magic of fresh lime green leaves opening up... flowers ready to wake up from their folded buds and these moments cannot be described in words, they are almost surreal, magical!
