How to DIY garden decor Birds Stones Fairy Stools- Entryway garden challenges

How to DIY entry way garden decor. So while you can hire someone to make a great garden,  and also an attractive entryway garden design, I have seen so many homes now go barren with all the plants dead!So once you see a garden and in few months nothing!

yet facing entry way garden challenges but shifting some plants, adding some and trying new plants for brings positive energy to our garden. The old news papers recycled making paper mache toad stools, pebbles, tortoises. Yes, they are not so perfect like machine manufactured toys, but they are made with my own hands and with loads of love!

Planted a new Brahma Kamal plant

 So while the passage is a bit dull without direct sunlight coming in , especially now the rainy season was dull, but my plants survived , a few I had to shift to the window sill. Snake plant and peace lily are doing good. Ferns did get a bit limpy so had to shift them. maybe now after this season some brightness will come up.

Birds do come and sing in my entry way garden!

 So while actual bird friends cannot come here, they can always come by in form of art. fairies come about to take care of my garden and spread their magic.

Why are leaves red? why crotons plants are having red leaves? Pigments present in croton leaves give the colour. chlorophylls, carotenoids, tannins, anthocyannins. each absorbs energy from different wave lengths and different regions. these properties give each pigment colour. some absorb red and blue, some absorb green. This also is affected by the amount of sunlight received by the plant.
The important pigment associated with red leaves, red plants is anthocyannin. Chrophyll decreases and anthocyannin increases in some plants due to reflected light and energy they absorb. These beautiful vibrant crimson lake red leaves are so beautiful against the greyish green variegated top.
Artistry in nature, and beauty, so many different shades, you wonder what a beauty God has made, nature truly is beautiful ..and you don't always need flowers to bring colour to your garden and life, leaves also are fantastic!
still continuing to face challenges in growing plants in my entry way garden with very low light and struggling yet, they , my plants love me so much,each one is trying their best. on the verge is the mayur pankhi plant, cypress , have with us since more than ten years...shifted this one to the window sill garden, ..praying..
And with the limitations now opens a new gateway to the world of succulents and ornamental shade loving plants, and of course coloured leaves because bringing them to flower in low lights would be near to impossible...so excited about finding new additions!
