How to save a dying Brahma Kamal plant? this time was alert, I did not want to lose this one..
As soon as I saw a few leaves drying of, the edges, took action. With so many years of terrace gardening , now with the entryway garden the Brahma Kamal plants look happy.

How to save a dying Brahma Kamal plant?
1) If you see edges drying off, trim them, this saves the whole leaf from dying.

2) If the soil is cloggy and you see the leaves of the plant drooping, transplant immediately.
3) Remember each leaf can grow in a new plant. Choose well draining soil.

 4) While you cut a Brahma Kamal leaf let it dry for some time to heal, other wise the leaf rots.
5) I have seen the even if the plant looks like dying if you see an single erect leaf give that leaf some support , it will immediately bring out roots and new leaves. 
6) The plant needs strong soil and firm support, if you pull out the plant , an old plant will not come out. and a sick plant will immediately leave soil. 
7) for the transplanted cuttings Brahma Kamal plant, do not water heavily. Spray carefully or else they die.
Hope this helps!

Even cactus dies with negative touch! 10 Feng shuii simple cures for plant protection

Does Evil eye affect  plants? yes, I am sorry to say, but yes, this is very true, with home terrace gardening for so many years, this is true. Plants shrivel, and die in a day immediately with some ones touch or when some one comments suddenly about its beauty. I have learned over the years to handle somewhat the negative energy for my plants, but this time caught unaware with our entryway garden.
As the garden is in the entryway almost every one touches the plants, I really don't know why , but they do!
Euphorbia milli almost dead
I think they check if the plants are real and flowers are real as I mist them regularly to keep them fresh and clean. 
So I noticed everyone touching this sweet euphorbia milli, every day, I did nothing...almost every time I take immediate action to save them as they communicate their needs...even the touch of a small child...oH,, the cactus shriveled and almost nearly died!
The thorns was what every one touched, I don't know, I had this thoughts that people would fear thorns, but they would touch brushing past them, the plant was well hidden between other plants but it had flowers...yes, flowering cactus. 
So suddenly I see the soggy stems and foul smelling cactus!
Oh, I felt so sad..with the evil eye glances and negative energy, our plant took it all.. this Euphorbia milli is with us since past 12 years and now a majestic tall heavy full container growth with loads of Flowers always. 
I was not one to give up and I talked to the plant, you cannot give up on me...I won't let you!
I immediately shifted the plant to our window sill where it was safe and also got some fresh light and air.
Then the waiting period...the most difficult one.. no watering turning the container , removed the mushy stems, they were hollow...it was time that they had rotten and dead...so trimmed some stems. 
Close observation showed a few tips green, the tiniest of green was hope! It would survive!
some green on end of stems
Together we can make it! so every day within fifteen days, there was a fresh green leaf, I was so so so happy! It survived! I love survivors!

 Evil eye does have a strong effect on Garden plants. Feng Shuii evil eye cures need to be added to your garden and plants also for protecting them from negative energy. There are so many cures to protect plants going on since ancient times.

I am not ashamed to protect my plants with feng shuii evil eye cures they are my babies, and they surely deserve my care and love as they love me back so much!
How to protect your garden plant from evil eye with simple feng shuii cures?
1) A combination of flowering and ornamental plants is good, they produce harmonious energy.
2) Have tall sturdy plants for protection together with beautiful flowering plants. They provide shelter and protection.
3) Black cloth of course does wonders! rich black, deep black cloth. Not the silky black one but choose cotton with its depth in colour. Even thick thread will do.
4) try the Ba Gua mirror, it will give protection to plants.Place it on spots where negative energy is prominent.
5) Old CD or mirror can be placed facing whatever is on opposite if you feel shar energy, poison arrows come from entrance of your garden.
6) Have garden ornaments as fairies and toad stools, I recently made a few with recycling newspaper, papermache toad stool. fairies and nature spirits will come to reside in your garden and they will take care of your garden.
7) Hang symbols of protection. you can hang religious mantras, images , photos of symbols that you connect with as protection symbols. Like the Swastika, The Aum symbol, the Trishul, or a combination of all symbols.

8) Do keep a check on who comes by and every day glances of people if you can, because negative energy is so moving and attacks very fast, you better be careful and not get caught unawares! like our ornamental gooseberry plant, it dies in a day! within hours, a relative plucked the fruit , tasted it and threw it back, I didn't check but till evening in few hours, it shriveled and was dead...
9) where to place plants in your garden? very important, do not place flowering plants in traffic areas. If people have to lean over them to have the view from window, or always brush past them as they walk by them with their touch your plants may fall sick or die. Touch, energy, mind you, is different on each day , even if the person is the same. So if they are stressed up on a day, angry,  the same person will emit negative vibes and walk past your plant leaving behind with residue negative energy.
10 Give them a thorough bath! once in a while for indoor plants in entryway garden , wash them thoroughly once in a while to wash off negative accumulated energy. Give them sunlight, a trip will do wonders for their energy! If you don't get direct sunlight, like we do for our entryway garden   have some yellow lights or yellow colour there.

Make Your Herb Garden for free! Practical Steps with photos

Make Your Herb Garden for free! Sharing here, Practical Steps to grow your own herbs very easily with photographs.
The fresh aroma of a curry , the decorated lime green vibrant coriander over mouthwatering dishes, and the healthy cooling  mint!  isn't this Awesum that you could grow your own herbs,and that too for free!
This happens always that when you are preparing any dish,especially Indian dishes we love to sprinkle freshly cut coriander and mint over to bring out flavors and aroma, we don't have them..yes, used to happens with me many times, and also when these herbs are kept in refrigerator they lose a bit of their original fragrances. Especially Pulav, and Non veg dishes need these fresh herbs. What with a fresh mint chutney, and coriander we all know sandwiches, pizzas and pav bhaji! 
Had tried growing them on our terrace garden, mint and curry were very happy, except that the mint was chewed away by sparrows and birds and I think rats, now in our new space I don't think they will grow in the entryway garden with very low sunlight. The plants are still trying to adjust with a few really happy ones.
Now trying to grow herbs in our window sill garden.
This is really very easy and for free!
When you buy coriander, curry leaves and mint from market , here is what you do.
1) For buying curry leaves Select freshly cut ones. You can see the stem is still very green and healthy, don't break the leaves, take the firm thick stem along with the sprouting side branches.
2) The mint stems must be firm and thick. Chose harder ones.
3) Coriander choose fresh growing that are available with roots intact. Yes, they still also have soil attached now during rainy season. The coriander leaves will not be very tall for new growing ones ,choose  these while buying from market.

fresh planted
Euphorbia Milli very sick, almost dead...

Like I do for all cuttings 
 How to begin?
1) Wash them, well. For mint leaves trim the ends and put them in water. I do this for all plant cuttings they root very fast. and then you can grow them in healthy soil.
2) After a day or two you see tiny growth of fibers, roots, and also fresh firmness in stem.
3) be careful if the water gets muddy replace immediately or else your cuttings  will get soggy and die.
4) Choose well draining soil and one that does not dry very fast.
5) Plant the cuttings in the containers.  For mint and coriander leaving a space of at least one inch.
6) Choose a mildly sunny spot. Not too much direct sunlight.
7) be careful of birds  they feast on new leaves.
8) I never add any fertilizer, they just grow with proper light and watering carefully.
9)  Most important , with fresh growth in mint and coriander never pluck all leaves, try to trim top and let the base with strong stem and leaves remain to bring out fresh growth.
Curry eaves also sprout with fresh green leaves on top as also mint and coriander, enjoy your free and easy herb garden and do share your happinesses, hope this helps!
Meanwhile entryway garden with its challenges continues , with our many years old euphorbia milli, all year round flowering cactus almost dead with touch, evil eye,
