Cute, very cute but please do tell us after they are shifted to Pakistan (arid zone) from UK (somewhere between temperate and frigid), all your experiences of how you made them survive here. Please pretty please, it will really increase our knowledges and give me hope if i bring the living stones fr...

I have these three colours of Canna in flower and a deep scarlet which is still confused as to if the monsoons have started. Plus kilo tons of new babies requiring a new home. If some one has a different colour and is willing to give it to me, i would be grateful but give or no give, these require a...

I think it is about time that you come to the conclusion that a small pond with a fine mist fountain is required in your gardens to raise the humidity and to cool down the area. Baaki up to you.
Cheers.

In Hydrabad colony behind the Hydrabadi Acchar walla try to find Yusaf bhai's house. Every body and any body in the aquarium trade knows him. If he is still alive then he must be 65, big bear of a man. Go visit his roof top garden where he grows aquatic plants. See the size of the mother plants. The...

If any one is willing to call it Champa or Frangipani, yes there are. From what i know of Champa and Frangipani they love being treated like cactus but when you call it Plumera then you forget what it actually is. Must be the name.

Aacha another observation but this can only be verified by the ones whose interest lies in fruit trees but this holds true for other plants as well and it also concerns the root system. There are two types of roots, the thick exploratory roots and the hair fine fibrous roots. While the function of t...

Agreed but you will have to agree that they are poor and trying to keep their body and soul together in the meagre wages they get. Their interest is survival and they also know what the bottom hole is for. In the heat in this area this is one of their ways of survival. Their ways not exactly in the ...

Another blunder or trick of mallis. You have a wonderful plant in a twelve inch pot and one day you feel that the plant wants bigger accommodation so you go out and buy a three maund pot (soil). If you are not careful and stand there the mali most probably will dump in a six inch layer of soil at th...
