| Dried Mogra Plant Winter Care |
Winter has set in and with all plants shedding leaves the garden is looking a tad dull and boring.The mogra plant almost died, so it looked with all leaves curling and dropping one by one, leaving behind a dried stub!

Some excitement in the garden, the neighbors garden had an unexpected visitor, the hawk, rarely seen here,as we are used to having eagles, bats and owls! not to mention our bird friends, the crow, sparrow, mynas, pigeons, egrets, king fishers, bulbul, humming bird, and the many rare ones which I do not know names of, which reminds me our parakeet is still missing...the blood red eyes is only what I remember of the hawk, piercing eyes, grey feathers with a yellowish beak... and he sure meant business, to catch some bird!

With winters many plants are drying and shedding, a normal growth trend in their life, especially for the tough mogra plants which have been with us for many years. The afternoon sunlight in the winter season has brought about the growtt spurt and new growth is seen in the mogra plants.

| Fresh leaves on Mogra Plant |
a simple tip for flowering in mogra plant is to add used tea leaves. the correct procedure to add tea leaves is after the tea is boiled use the remaining used tea leaves for your flowering plants. Usually tea is prepared after adding milk and this is not so very good for the plants, as I have had ants feasting on my plants! wash the tea leaves thoroughly and then spread the leaves over the soil, very good fertilizer for all flowering plants growing in sunlight or containers. The reason is the milk and tea leaves when kept for long time wet over the soil get attacked by fungus and red ants, who will destroy your plant leave aside fertilize it!
Thank You and All the Best!
