Is there a magical aspect to the Night Queen Saussurea obvallata care

 Night Queen Saussaurea obvallata care! Bring some magic into your garden with this mystical plant! The blooms will be worth it!  there are always scientific reasons and if you have the right knowledge, and apply it,  this plant will flower! I keep reading, searching on Google for Brahma Kamal flowering time, and watch You Tube videos but no one shares the exact formula. People just make videos and share the same info. Is there a magical aspect to the Night Queen?

  • Why do buds form and then fall off on this Night Queen Brahma Kamal plant? Many people struggle with this. First when a new bud comes it is a miracle in itself with hope and joy and then if it falls off people get depressed. This is a plant and it needs its care trust me on that. Observe its habits, understand its growth process, and talk to your plant. There is a scientific reason why Brahma Kamal plant buds drop?

  • 1) The plant is too weak. A newly planted Brahma Kamal leaf is not very strong to hold the weight of this bud. The flowers are really heavy and big in size as shared by my Blog Garden care Simplified  readers.
  • 2) Disease and pests in Brahma Kamal Plant. The Brahma Kamal plant is a succulent, means the leaves are fleshy and have stored water. They attract pests, beetles, bugs make tiny holes in them. Slugs feast upon them and ants too love these! I am so happy that they are MashaAllah going healthy in my window garden. and I keep a check on their health regularly. watch this You Tube video Brahma Kamal plant disease and care. BE ALERT! that is my motto! 
  • Watering is I think most important issue for leaf and bud drop. leaves get mushy with over watering and rot. And less watering too dries the roots and the leaves or bud drops. 
  • 4) feedings. how much fertilizer did you feed your plant? there is a tendency to over feed to get fast flowers but the plant has to absorb or digest this feeding and many times plants die of over dose. I have seen even other plants like mogra and roses that immediately spright up with so many tiny buds and even before they grow the buds drop off. Reason-too much fertilizer. Give less food, and more love. Too much green foliage is also harmful, where will the plant get strength to produce flowers? Night Queen often does not require any fertilizers. 
  • 5) Environment. Did a pet or a small child just pluck it off while observing the bud? Harsh winds and rains in outside environment can be the reason for bud drop. If it shows buds protect it. they are precious. talk to the plant before shifting it. You have to protect your plant buds from others, especially evil eye glances. the ANNOUNCEMENT is only made on the night when the flower actually blooms.  Some people also tie a black cloth for protecting plants.
When do you buy Night Queen  plants? is there a good time? a best time to plant them? Avoid summers, choose full moon nights to plant this auspicious plant if you have the choice. the energies are high. Never buy or plant Night Queen saplings at night. Never cut the leaves at night. Never share a cutting during afternoon twelve o'clock with anyone. you risk your plant dying! Usually I buy plants in morning or evening and bring them home before night. I plant new saplings during early hours of the day. This method allows the plant to adjust to the new home, new soil and pot for the whole day before night falls. 
Very easy to propagate from mother plant- When you have a leaf of Brahma Kamal allow it to dry for a day or two and then plant them. Before ten in morning you can choose a time. make some intentions and talk to your plant while you pot it. This helps the new sapling to bond with you. 
I think early winter is a good time when the cactus, Night Queen leaf gets time to live dormant and then sprout into new shoots of leaves. 
As my wait continues to experience seeing the magical flowers of Night queen do keep sharing your happiness's! I am sure there are so many homes who are now witnessing this mystical miracle! of watching the Brahma Kamal flower blooming!
It is believed in Hinduism culture that the Brahma Kamal plant only flowers in some homes and those are chosen to experience goodluck in form of good news, wealth and happiness. So the journey of love continues with yet waiting to see Lord Brahma blossom the creative energies in my home. The wait is I read a few years to fourteen years for this plant to begin showing its first flowers. And I still remember the first bud that fell...
My First Night Queen Bud which I lost and still waiting..
it was raining heavily and the plant was on our terrace garden...I didn't even know the bud and later saw its minute details, explicit beauty! things would have been so different had I seen the flower blossom at that time, so many years back, but my passion continues. I have few pots with healthy growing plants of Saussurea obvallata Night Queen. So the obsession became a passion of collecting plants from different places, cities,  and growing them. Many died ( I wrote this post-Am I a serial killer?)and few remain. Why my Brahma Kamal plants got angry?  But now I can write a thesis about this plant!,Saussurea obvallata,
