Main Door Gardens are so important in Feng Shui, i would say they can multiply manifolds your luck and wealth if done correctly and also complete finish off your business and money away if going wrong!
Sharing here five basic Feng Shui Tips for your entry way garden/Main door Garden, especially focusing on Flat, house in buildings entry way garden.
1) NO CLUTTER- it is nice to cover up your entry way with green plants but remember no clutter. if they have to fight for space, its not feng shuii!
2) NO DEAD plants- keep them always healthy and trimmed. In feng shuii dried leaves and dead plants are similar to the energy of a dead body. You wouldn't want a dead body in your entrance? would you? 
3) Choose plants carefully according to the Feng Shuii Ba Gua. now here you need to have basic knowledge of Feng Shuii. Check my blog for more information Feng Shui-Simple Cures
Here I mean to have colours that are activating the sector. example if you have a south main door garden, red plants are best. if you can't grow them, choose ornamental grasses in red. purple colour plants are also  good for south Garden. Fire energy needs to be activated here. Having dull limpy and only creeper plants here is not auspicious. other wise it will lead to passive yin  energy and will affect living family members with low motivation to work, low energy and even drive away fame and wealth. If the garden falls in north you have white and grey, silver leaves plants. 
Choosing colorful/ornamental plants according to Ba Gua map colors will activate Feng Shuii.
4) Go with the flow! Mentioning this because it took me twenty years to accept this, yet I make emotional purchases of plants and they die. Environmental conditions of your entry way garden is important. if there is low sunlight choose plants accordingly, those that require low light to grow. 
Don't buy roses and chrysanthemums or bulb plants like Amaryllis to grow there, they will not be able to perform!
5) Always be very careful of evil eye for your entry way garden. the most affected part and the most vulnerable part of your home is the main entrance. Do have strong feng shui evil eye cures hanging here to protect your home and your garden plants from evil eye. 
Protection symbols bring transformed auspicious energy

So many cases of serious harm done to plants, I cannot mention, eye again. Take care here as anyone can touch your plants, they are plucked, scratched, and abused. 
For this have cactus, and spiky plants at your entrance along with other plants, you will see immediate difference in your home energy. 
You can hang evil eye cure and shiny garden ornaments also moving paper hangings, wind chimes do wonders to keep energy fresh. Remember to keep Feng Shuii Ba Gua in mind while choosing any thing for the entrance garden.

Why my Garden Feng Shui is Going Wrong? really important Garden feng shuii 5 eyeopener facts ! 9 Amazing instant feng shuii garden wealth cures

Garden feng shuii going wrong? is your garden depressing? this really important Garden feng shuii fact for you and adding up 9 amazing instant feng shuii garden wealth cures in the second half of this post.
You begin with fantastic flowering plants bought from the plant nursery, and all is hunky dory for few weeks and then gradually you see leaves turning yellow, leaves wilting, leaves dropping, maybe pest attack, drying of the plant and you just keep watering. this is what most of us do, I too did this for years of container gardening. 
Feng Shuii for your garden in one word is "Love", yes give them some love , they will give back blooms!
If you see a garden that has depressing energy and wilted plants, dried plants in containers, understand this "the garden is unloved"
The fact that you have been missing all the time is gardening requires care and love. Regular watering, trimming, maintaining the shape of the container plants, giving them more love by extra feedings, pampering with change of places and so much more!

sharing personal garden photos to help you understand that garden Feng Shuii is not just what is when you begin the garden. it is the process, the journey to always have an evergreen happy garden.
Dried Chinese Bamboo plant
Garden Feng Shuii is never given thought but it will influence your health, wealth and relationships. Imagine having a garden that stinks in the east sector-will affect your health and relationships adversely.
More so what will happen when you have a dried garden in the north east sector? you will always feel low energy, confused with life and have a blank future.
And just think about this that if your garden in the south has but empty containers with dried dead plants, OMG! it will bring downfall in personal fame, name and business, even lead to complete financial losses and business closure...
Fact 1- Garden feng shuii is very important, find out which sector you have the garden and choose plants accordingly. North must not have too many tall plants. South can have plants that have more of wood. North east sector will love succulents. Purple and blue colored leaves plants are best in north and north east and also west sector.

Fact 2- Garden feng shuii is an on going process. you will over the time have dried plants,dead plants, you will need to replace them and grow fresh ones. In Feng Shuii dead plants are talked as dead bodies, and we would never leave dead bodies for more time in our house, would we? then why the dead plants?
Garden care simple feng shuii
Also something interesting sharing here, empty pots. Yes, you may say the plants have dried and we have removed them but the pots are stacked outside your house for the next session of buying plants  which may come after few weeks or few months. This is shar energy and will bring in negative feng shuii. Poison arrows pointed towards your home through your main door.

Another fact is that empty post do take away energy coming in so imagine the chi/ wealth flowing towards your house will go there and stagnate int eh empty containers and less will reach your home.
Fact 3- Plants that are luscious green and heavy growth are not always good feng shuii! over grown gardens do not emit good feng shuii. it reflects over growth and neglect.
This is a myth that too many plants and heavy growth indicates a healthy garden. No, it is well maintained an garden design that reflects a joyful healthy Feng Shuii garden.  Recently trimmed my window garden plants as they had over grown and were over flowing from their pots too much. After trimming the garden has a beautiful energy of balance and harmony.
Interesting tree trimming Japanese style
Fact 4- In Feng shuii we love wavy and curvy lines. have your garden plants grown in this manner for happy feng shuii. Straight lines of containers placed side by side do not show good element in garden design. Also in Feng Shuii Masters believe the ghost travels in straight lines, hence we see gardens in China and Japan have curvy pathways in their gardens. Trim your plants in fancy shapes, it will reflect your personal style and bring out beauty in your customized garden. Amazing Feng Shuii!
Japanese style tree shaping






Fact 5- Feng Shuii is all about going with the flow. Only grow those plants(flowering or ornamental) that love and are comfortable in your environment.  This fact I learned again and again with more than twenty years of gardening. Window gardening, terrace container gardening, entry way gardening and even window sill gardening. What grows in the open will not love indoor energy. Those that need sunlight(flowering) will not grow indoors or in space which has no sunlight. 
Its not about what plants you love to have in your garden, its about who and which plants will love the environment and energy of your garden that should be welcomed!

As promised in the Title 9 Amazing instant feng shuii wealth cures that can be activated from your garden!
1) North sector- 3,5,7,9,21,27 gold coins tied in red ribbon. sure shot wealth cure! Hide them please and do not talk about theses to anyone!
2) 2 Jade plants in east or south east. tried and tested, always works! Works best in pairs!
3) Money plants climbing upwards in the north. Amazing wealth growth!
4) Chinese Bamboo plants in pair outside your main door. Magical Feng Shuii!
5) Ceramic container of salt hidden in your garden will open new doors to prosperity. Powerful cure. 
6) Cinnamon sticks tied in black thread in your garden will attract wealth. Absolute miracle!
7) Large sized leaves plants in north. Example Chinese evergreen. Try this!
8) Golden colour unique containers, this is what I personally recommend. Golden colour emits style and opulence and attracts more of that! Avoid shard edged plant pots especially when you buy geometric plant pots.
9) Fruit trees. If you can grow, (I did grow chickoo, pomegranate, anjeer, jamun, cherries in pots) are good feng shuii and if your trees are loaded with fruits and they fall in the north, northwest, south, or east, south east sector, it will bring miraculous wealth and opportunities into your life. Keep a check that the trees are healthy and have good quality fruits. Otherwise it is also a good idea to have artificial fruit trees. Yes, I did this, because we receive very low indirect sunlight in our window gardens so why struggle, and why feel sad about the gardening limitations...might as well enjoy with whatever feng shuii you can apply!
Thank you for coming by Garden Care Simplified!

Garden Plant Stands Window Stands Fancy Creative Plant Stands #Windowsillgardenchallenges purchased garden plant stands

Step ladder Plant Stand 
 With searching options for window sill garden design, decor, and arrangements finally purchased stands. the steps stand is very beautiful. We have the option of one step, two, or three steps and we can get it made customized according to the size we require.
My biggest challenge with window sill garden was the limited space and it was a risk to purchase garden stands which come for more than a  few thousand rupees depending upon of course the size you take.
The choice is Amazing! creative garden stands, planters, plant stands with different patterns, arrangements, you just have to consider what space is available for you. It is a good suggestion to get the stand repainted, but have not done this as it is rainy season and oil paint will not dry fast.
Garden plant stands Circular stand
 Indoor plant stands and planters can be used to decorate window sill garden. The circular one, I bought was a choice made by my heart as the utility is limited, especially for an obsessive gardener having so many pots!
The challenge was as we measured the available space in our window before going in to purchase a specific steps garden plant metal stand. Check the metal quality, but as it will be exposed to daily watering, and the plant stand needs to be of thick metal to bear the load of heavy plant containers.
Circular plant stand 
Plants arranged on steps stands


With so many plants from our previous terrace garden, this time seriously minimized and assembled some together. Facing north, we have limited indirect sunlight coming so it is a challenge to grow flowering plants in our window sill garden.
Cleaning the window sill garden before installing  the garden plant stand
 The task was a tough one, with an already established over flowing window garden, with packed garden pots, especially heavy containers with growing plants. My husband did help out, a gem of a person, in arranging all the garden pots.
the limited window sill space did not give much options but to remove all garden containers inside our living room , to clean ti and then put the stand.
The main purpose I chose to have a plants stand was to give containers breathing space. The space below is free fro air circulation and can be cleaned now as compared to earlier when all plant pots were placed on the window floor.
The circular one is more of an ornamental plant stand, light weight so it will not take heavy plant containers. And also the rings attached are of a particular size so you have to repot again, unless of course if you have those sized growing pots. As i mentioned it was a decision of heart and not brain, so I fitted some pots in circular plant stand.
The circular plant stand is more suited for corner or entry way garden and maybe if this works out I may install it there. Also good as a corner plant arrangement for living room spaces to add fresh greenery into modern decor.
 With my artists studio clearing, organizing, letting go of many paintings, listing my art, life is seemingly beautiful and feels lighter now. My garden has fresh vibes and the aura of peace and welcoming energy as compared to earlier with overflowing packed up containers.
There were fully packed containers in our window garden and also small plant containers above each large pot. reduced them.
The cycle kept moving since years, I had garden containers so I bought plants and then... if the containers broke or got damaged the plants were healthy so again I purchased new garden pots. Of course the environmental conditions were extreme with direct sunlight for most part of the day in our terrace garden.
Now there is limited sunlight but have come to terms with the limitations and so also the choice of plants has been made considering this and they look happy.


Brahma Kamal looks Happy

What I have noticed, here since the past year with tending the windows ill garden that some ones are happy, yes the three Brahma kamal plants seem happy and are growing their tentacles! hoping some day Lord Brahma gets pleased!!!and blesses me with Blooms!

Window Sill Garden 3 Important Tips Add some Pizzaz! and How my garden is progressing

Jade plant window sill garden
window sill garden arrangements design 
while the window sill garden is blooming with happiness this Summer, as it faces north, we do not have much of sunlight here. And guess who is happy! well most of the plants seem happy with the indirect light. We have a entry way passage garden where there was too much of environmental pollution, so just Snake plant and Chinese Bamboo plants are growing well outside out entrance.

 Two window sill , window gardens, loads of plants, packed tightly, of course, me, the obsessive gardener!



 Sharing practical tips for adding some Pizzazz  to a window sill garden-
1) check the sunlight, choose plants appropriately. If low sunlight, then it is difficult  to grow flowering plants and bulbs. More direct sunlight for even a few hours, bravo, grow roses and just about every plant! but we are lucky, low sunlight, means more ornamental foliage colours and plants that are indoor loving types. Ferns, Rubber, palm, Jade, succulents, cactus's, aloe vera, ribbon grass, purple hearts, and so many options available. I am going to try out roses, so brought a yellow rose plant and it seems fine.
its a blessing to have nature into your home, make the best of it!
yellow rose plant for window sill garden
2) space is limited. and also height of the window is limited. Choose plants that will be visible while you sit on the sofa or chair. What I did earlier, all plants were lined up, but nothing visible for us , we had to go near the window to see our garden! so have a mixture of height plants. stands, and plant holders are great, we get good stylish ones of wrought iron. they add style to your window garden. Add some glam quotient ,choose great containers and coloured foliage plants. I did make over of many pots by coloring them, adding some glam with different techniques, recycling old garden containers. Add some Pizzazz!
3) Beauty for you and for others too! we added a granite stone stopper, to stop water from flowing outside wall of our home. The stopper of a few inches height, see that the containers fall below so that you do not splash muddy water out. Now my plants are happy, I have no fear of messing the outside wall colour with muddy stains! arranged them well according to their size and sunlight requirements.  Spray water regularly on the leaves so that they are fresh and happy! watering is a careful task, that each one learns according to how the plants communicate about their thirst levels.
