Flowering plants and fruit plants can be grown in containers if you get the right amount of indirect sunlight or some few hours of sunlight for flowering and fruits. Inspirations continue to overflow with

Spring is the best season where the light warm sunlight brings new sprouts easily. Chilies plants are very easy to grow in containers. I added the dried red chilies flakes in container.

Coming to growing plants from seeds sharing practical tips-
1) choose medium sized plant container because I have tried in very small pots but later on transplanting they go in shock mode and die. Hence let them begin their journey ion a comfortable six inch pot. This helps them to bring roots with stability. Just be careful during watering new shoots die off easily with over watering. 
2) choose good quality seeds. once I bought flowering seeds and planted them and waited and the wait continued with nothing, later saw the seeds had turned black mushy and did not sprout at all. 
3) Dry the seeds with some sunlight before planting. this has helped a lot with fast sprouting. I think the warmth trigger growth faster. 
4) do not water immediately after planting seeds, let them adjust to the soil well. I had the habit of over watering and thus have killed many plants during my early years of gardening. Now I have started thinking from point of view of the seeds and plants, they do communicate and they listen to us when cared with love.

5) label the seeds grown from containers because if the pot has mixture of seeds you will not know which ones are growing until you see the first flowers which may take some time.
6) Check the container regularly as new plants are delicate. So many times birds have feasted on my new plants. Especially they love new fresh leaves of flowering plants, they also eat flowers. Rats love jhendu flowers marigolds. Protect your plants to see happiness in your garden just like you protect your family from evil eye. Read my personal experience of How cactus dies with evil eye negative energy..

7) Sometimes new plants are weak and we need to give them supplements, I am not much knowledgeable at this. hence I have stopped growing many plants from seeds. the ready plants from nurseries already are strong and have flowers on them so you get to enjoy the happiness now!
Meanwhile garden keeps influencing my Reiki healing paintings and I keep the passion  surrounded by fragrances colours blooms and greens to uplift my heart chakra with pure joy!

Look at this tree that lives forever!! What do leaves dropping symbolize in garden and in my healing art ?

 Leaves dropping a sign of Autumn did bring some sadness earlier but now this has completely transformed with healthy mindset, leaves drop and shed their old ways and energize and bring out new fresh ones. It is a time of renewal, refurnishing, re-energizing for all nature and here is the lesson for us too. If you are going through some challenging times, trust me..spring will soon come!!with onset of strong winds and super chilly nights and dawns In my garden I see leaves yellowing and tips drying. sharing some insights here and taking you to limitless possibilities of magic hope with this post. 

This tree lives forever! going with inspirations from my garden yet fascinated with fairies and magic spreading in my life, there emerged this tree, that will take you into a magical land of abundance. reiki actually does that to everyone who is open to receiving. Adding magic tree paintings spreads so much joy and they are maintenance free! energizing your home with tree art and leaves or petals paintings always brings a flow of abundance and blessings. Most of my fresh 2022 paintings are activated with nature symbols and blessings. 

Leaves dropping symbolize regrowth, and welcoming new energy. Take action and do not lose hope, it will bring joy. In my art dropping leaves symbolize blessings. It is a pure showering of abundance coming into any space they are hung in. It is a mesmerizing energy flow , a visual motion that takes you to experience falling of petals -hope, love, health wealth joy!! as I always say- the universe has everything in abundance.. you just have to tap this correctly!!

Coming to Reasons for leaves dropping in all plants- 

The main reasons of leaves dropping in your garden plants can be so many. The first being environmental change and climate. It is natural that they will shed leaves during winters and then grow fresh ones as spring approaches with the warmth of the sun shining more. 

There can be sickness. Diseases pest ,especially aphids, ants and white fungus that eats up energy and rots become weak, hence the outward signs to be alert as your plant communicates is by dropping leaves. 

Watering can lead to drooping drying leaves. too little water or too much, either way is harmful. Especially during winters I see the soil gets dry so fast and we may skip watering thinking sunlight is so low. 

Ancient symbols nature blessings abundance flows easily through me



Shocked to see the reason for leaf drop!!

Ordering plants online first time experience-really small plant. Of course will check out different portals and websites. This was affordable so tried and yes, it is growing happily in my window garden. With no specific restrictions,  yet Omicron ruling the 2022, we do take extra precautions, Covid did its stamp by stealing away few years of our life but with a growth in self development and relationships, so much became clear, the fragility of life.  We wear masks and keep check on our physical and mental health, especially our mental health this year will be priority for everyone. Plants bring a surge of happiness and always every new flower brings joy! Grow more flowering plants!!

Rubber plant leaf drying dropping
As I saw one by one leaves dropping I checked for pests first, and then the soil. It was actually pretty dry and the roots were not getting energy. Repotting helped. I do trim roots also sometimes because we have limited space in window garden and I cannot increase the pot to a larger size. 

One reason is also that your plant has overgrown the pot and roots have no space to spread so the leaves start drying and falling to conserve energy. Gardening brings so much joy as we saw the Anant flowering for first time in three years which was grown from a tiny cutting. we also had a follower share amazing pics on face book group of Brahma Kamal flowering, it is so magical and I have yet to experience this joy.. and hoping soon. So many blessings of abundance!

Can you keep Brahma Kamal plant inside home? How to make your Reiki witchy protection bowl without letting anyone know?

 There are the Brahma Kamal plant fans and yet to see the blooms of this mystical flower I am growing Brahma Kamal plants in my window gardens and they seem happy so there is HOPE! Can you keep Brahma kamal plants in your home was a query many have asked as there are ancient beliefs that the plant only grows in some homes and only few chosen would in lifetime experience its flowering. People also believe that women, especially menstruating women must never be near or touch the plant. Once touched or seen by such women would bring ill luck to the home.  Some believe that it only grown in Hindu homes only and such go the myths still. I have actually seen people throw healthy Brahma Kamal plants from their window gardens and that felt really sad.

I have been struggling growing these Brahma Kamal plants and with pure love and dedication only. I wonder when, but I have hope they will surely bless me some day with beautiful Brahma Kamal flowers. The Brahma Kamal plant, saussurea obvallata is a cactus. Keeping aside the myths and beliefs it is a cactus which needs that type of growing soil environment and watering care. There is actually the hype created with obsessions continuing about Brahma blessing only few homes. I wonder if the people stop working will the abundance keep flowing? Keeping these thoughts I have been scientifically thinking that the plant needs rocky well draining soil and people boast of no care and no fertilizers but I guess every love story needs some spice! I have added egg shells as this is the only natural fertilizer I sue in my window garden as it is in our home.

Elders seem to have their own beliefs and are totally against having the Brahma Kamal plant inside the house. Are there fairies and souls moving near the plant, I wonder. Some also feel souls get stuck up with the plant and are carried to different homes in form of leaves as blessings. More success stories keep pouring about the auspicious Brahma Kamal plant flowering and flowering in tons! Earlier people believed that it flowers once a year. Then some said every six months. Now as I see YouTube videos of flowering of Brahma Kamal plant flowering and this feels amazing. once the plant is established the routine caring procedures followed keep the plant healthy. 

I think keeping those myths alive is better to help spread the plants everywhere so that many can experience the joys of seeing the brahma kamal flowers. As for Lord Brahma he is the God of creation and will bless everyone irrespective of caste religion or age, so let us keep the love for this beautiful Brahma Kamla plant with long leaves and strange habits of growing. Have a clear heart while growing plants they will reward you with blooms!

Not all will love feng shuii Reiki and not all will agree to healings and mantras even if it is for family's benefit and family's protection from evil eye. I still face people who would say remove this, remove that, it is not allowed? allowed? I get queries when people buy my Reiki paintings that their spouses do not believe in reiki or their children are against any such therapies. The worst part is they start the negative discussions that stops the energy flow. The intentions need to be clear and hence I suggest ways where witchy potions, techniques and protection symbols bowls can be disguised to benefit the family without explaining. Young ladies and girls having super powers the new witches' have tough times following rituals of purification protection and many times family will stop them from owning their super power. Most of my artworks are focused on women empowerment, to understand accept your own uniqueness, to overcome limitations and glow,  and own your inner power to succeed and shine in life . I am not someone with super powers, I am an ordinary person who has studied about energy and symbols and striving to bring life changing results from them, yet I am a work in progress. 

These methods will help you to do the rituals without anyone noticing.

1) Use garden herbs-mint for wealth, bay leaves for protection, cinnamon for wealth and protection from negativity. Grow mint for wealth. hide cinnamon sticks-two, 3,7, 9, in cupboards and money drawers to attract abundance.

write with any black pen and then let is go but the intentions will remain.

2) Draw sigils in form of creative drawings on your nails before applying nail paint. Ancient symbols can be written with black pen and these are not like permanent tattoos. Enjoy new sigil markings as you would like each day to go. 

3) have meditation area made with healing art incense this helps keep you recharged. Listen to Reiki music or experience Reiki healing arts meditations using The Red Pilgrim, my You Tube videos kept on mute, sound off. 

4) Food is an essential part of our lives. Reiki Masters have sine ancient times activated water with symbols and intentions and we have had saints and temple sadhus Sufi healers and saints dargahs giving water that is charged with mantras and recitations. This heals all negativity and brings good health. Scientifically this is proved that water stores memory of the giver , from where it has come, the pathways, the distances, and thus it is effective. We feel refreshed with drinking fresh mountain water, we see that springs are magical and I have tasted the heavenly dew, that is magical, try it if you have a window garden, during those cold misty foggy mornings do check your garden plants for dew drops, this is magic potion for good health wealth and success. gently request the dew drop over your fore finger and drink it with pure intentions. I do see how my garden is taken care off and fairies they do love you and care.  

For tea coffee or any food you can positively charge it for health with moving hand gracefully or stirring it clock wise. For any doubts before eating any food, or you feel the giver has not got good intentions,  you can move anti clock wise to remove negative energy. This is 

really very effective, the cook always transfers their own energy into food and if you are facing issues with ill health and irritability or stress check how your food is cooked! let the environment in your kitchen be of love and pure energy to eat healthy food that will benefit you and your family. While serving always pray that this food brings good health to you and your family, try it, it works!!
5) garden pots especially entrance pots can be hidden with protection cures. Put some black coal pieces for evil eye protection. Tie black ribbon. for money blessings bury coins inside money plant and see your wealth growing(take care that this plant does not dry)
Hide your feng shuii wealth money luck or evil eye protection cures in plant pots


6) cactus sure shot protection and wealth, this will also heal the soul.
cactus plants act as negative energy protection plants and also attarct wealth
7) reiki healing art as abstract floral art can be hung in any space.

Emotional abuse by words and actions from family use this video sigil

Reiki abundance symbols works wonders to your cash luck
(buy this art here)
Potpourri dried flowers have fragrance oils
7) destroying energy-use with care. Dried flowers placed anywhere will finish a relationship. (In feng shuii we avoid having any dried flowers or plants, placing such potpourri in relationship sector will create arguments in couples and even lead to separation. Avoid this in home or office). 
Bird feathers are magical use for wish fulfillment
8) Bird feathers are very auspicious except from dead birds. Black symbolize elders blessings white angels around you. Each colour of feather has its own hidden symbolism meanings in your life. 
Use sea mountain rocks to activate your northeast feng shuii as disguised blessings
9) Mountain rocks, sea rocks are super activated with tons of energy , use these, only in northeast sector. 
Most powerful plant-snake plant for negativity protection
10) listing this a individual because this is most miraculous plant, Snake plant, mother in laws tongue. easy to grow and very effective as protection cure. place two plants for goodluck.
Place the laughing Buddha in your rock garden for abundance prosperity blessings.
11) Make an mini garden arrangement or a tiny rock garden and place feng shuii cures merged with this. 

12) create your own magic spray disguised as air freshener. Salt purifies. Have a mild salty water spray with some cinnamon cloves, bay leaves and a pinch of soda bi crab, spray it over your walls with positive intentions after any negativity or uneasy energies. If you have guests or uncomfortable relationship occasions or people attending your home function and you fear anything untoward arguments keep this healing spray handy. After the function wipe the floor with salty water to remove negativity.

Make your own bowl of air freshener that also is magic cure
Read about this magic cure in this post

13) personal power activation with salt water bath. sickness, prolonged illness, feeling uneasy, low energy even after all your daily routine exercise and healthy food, this happens when chakras are not balanced. Use salt crystals(not powder) in hot water and use this for bathing from head to toe with intentions of all negativity flowing away, you will feel extra fresh, try it, it works!! 

Use your personal power and allow the Universe to bless you with abundance! Hope this helps!

Why Coconut and Banana are used as spiritual fruits in temples and offerings? Boston Fern plant care- my sophisticated Fern plant

Grooming my plants!


Gardens have a tendency to overflow with lots of love but anything out of control is very harmful feng shuii for your home and life. I have noticed overflowing money plants where people boast of wealth coming in but there is a negative feng shuii to this. Personally I like to keep my gardens trimmed and showing care. Dead plants, dried leaves, droopy plants are not for my space!
I tried to give the overflowing fern plants a sophisticated look. of course after talking to it with love trimmed the overflowing leaves which took away so much energy and even accumulated lots of dust in the window garden. I had done this once even to the long leaves snake plant, they look different and much elegant. 
snake plant has grown new leaves after trimming

Fern growing in round container

Do this only if you have a space crunch. Otherwise the ferns look beautiful covering the whole hanging baskets with leaves. 
Money plant repotting

Snipping the fern leaves

Easily grow the evergreen plant from cuttings
The Evergreen ornamental plant is easiest to grow and can be grown with cuttings.
Adenium tantrums continue

big roots of money plant are energy suckers

replaced old plant containers
In window gardens where there is low sunlight you must have light plastic containers with well draining soil.  If your Boston fern plant is not growing healthy you have to check the roots also. There are lots of dried roots that take space in the hanging basket thus making stunted growth of the plant. The fern will start looking dull and show lots of dried brown.  It's time to trim and repot the fern again. You need not choose a bigger pot, use the same hanging basket but reduce the roots and trim dried leaves.
very important to cut dried roots

The fern of course looks so elegant and graceful. Soon they will again grow and overflow with new leaves!
Read interesting posts- 
Coming to the interesting title of why Bana and Coconuts are used as offering in puja and temples or spiritual rituals. Bananas grow from the seeds of Bananas that have to be potted with respect. They are not thrown away as different fruit seeds that we eat the fruit portion and throw the seeds in trash. So also coconuts have to be grown with the fruit itself. Usually the fruits of coconut travel through waters and take roots thus growing from a complete fruit itself. Unlike other fruits where we take the portion of fleshy fruit and throw the seeds these two have to be used as whole to grow new plants. This may be the spiritual reason why we use these as offerings and in spiritual rituals. 
Keep your garden happy neat trimmed and sparkling with joy!

How to keep your indoor plants always fresh? Important Mistakes for Indoor placement of plants/ Tricks for Healthy home office plants

Homes displaying healthy happy ferns, palms and Orchids look so nice isn't it! I personally love to see indoor plants with modern decor as they bring live energy, fresh energy to any home. In feng shuii green growing plants are a symbol of wealth and prosperity. I tried that but I tell you frankly they can't remain indoors for long! they wilt, dry, they attract fungus and even look dull in few days. Love is not enough! then how come we see offices and homes flaunting always fresh healthy indoor plants?

So here I am sharing the tricks and explaining the reasons why indoor plants have a smaller shelf life.  

Spiritual artwork displayed with healthy indoor plant Indoor plants

When you see Chinese lucky Bamboo plants on office tables be assured many will complain they die even after caring and few say they are lucky and boast about it, the trick is the original plants have adaptability genes so they may survive. Usually people quietly replace them for fresh ones. Some do the trick of talking to plants and giving them love. Many also take their pots home to give them a bath and some sunlight. Thus plants who tend to get bored love these family trips and look happy and healthy. How to activate chakras with plants? read here.
Read about- My ADENIUM PLANT TANTRUMS

 I homes I have noticed with indoor plants that they are grown in containers of plastic or mud. The ornamental containers outside are just for beauty of the decor. So someone removes the containers regularly at week or fortnight or a month depending upon the type of indoor plants and gives them sunlight. Then again the original plant pots are again placed indoors in their ornamental containers. This process is very important as there is limited sunlight and air in side homes and air conditioned offices. 

Showing example of best placement of indoor plants-
Glass Doors Windows Indoor Plants placement

When you have glass windows and doors they bring in so much light and even fresh air. In such cases you will see happy indoor plants. This is provided they do not get direct sunlight for too many hours, here again too much sunlight burns the leaves and then plant may even die. 
White rooms and decors spread more light for indoor plants

Indoor plant displays need rotating regularly for healthy look
Read on- why Brahma kamal plants drop?
sunlight coming from glass windows brings good energy for indoor plants
Offices and large corporate buildings have regular garden maintenance contracts where the containers of indoor plants are rotated and replaced with fresh ones. These garden maintenance people then take the plants, trim them, clean them and give them some sunlight and feedings to upright them up. And they are ready to go to another home or office for indoor plants display. Even marriage functions celebrations parties have such indoor plants display for temporary basis with paid services. Next time when you see healthy indoor plants don't get depressed or jealous, that you are unable to grow these!   remember someone cares for them, someone rotates them, talks to them and takes them for outings!!! Grow feng shuii plants indoors for fresh vibes and beautiful energy. 
For your home indoor plants-
1) buy ornamental containers separately and do not plant directly in the showy containers. 
2) use plastic well draining containers that are light weight. You have to carry them out or in the bathroom or kitchen for bathing thoroughly and place them on window sill or windows for some fresh energy refreshment.
3) Do not place indoor plants directly in way of sunlight coming in for long hours, they will burn leaves. Choose a spot where only morning or AFTERNOON SUNLIGHT POURS INSIDE. 
4) Keep watch for plant pests and too much root growths. When they need trimming and replacement take the decision. 
5) for homes near industrial areas where too much soot, grime, dust comes in you will need to wipe the leaves with soft cloth to allow them to breathe. A spray bottle helps here where you can mist water over leaves without making much mess indoors. 
6) Plants are not meant for only indoors. they will not be completely happy with limited resources. It is good to keep rotating some. You have to be particular of which plant seems happy in which p-lace, once you find that they grow happily. I keep shifting, rotating, till I find the right spots where they seem comfortable and happy. They adapt. Then they grow!! 
Hope this helps! I have been passionately striving with different garden challenges of terrace garden,  window gardens, table top gardens , entry ways gardens and have tons of practical experiences without spending a ton. sharing-Pouring my heart The Garden of my Dreams
Grow plants!!Do your bit!! 
Happy Gardening from Rizwana!
