Plants are a really important part of our life cycle. Without plants and trees, we are nothing. Different types of plant species have their characteristics. Not only this, but plants’ characteristics also depend on the way we keep them or the way nature treats them. Now, some people are genuine towards the fact that the …

Gardening has always been a passion for many people. Who would not like to make his house more green and lively with a small garden? However, if you do not have that much space to make your garden beside your home, do not worry. Several plants grow quickly in shallow pots and soil. Generally, plants …
Most of the plants need water to live like any other living being. (Plants get thirsty, too.) If you are a plant lover, you generally know better than to forget to water your precious plants. But you might have a business trip lined up in the summer season with no friendly neighbor in sight. You …
Who does not enjoy greenery? Plants are good to look at as well as fabulous for our physical and mental health. But with the fun comes the responsibility. Plants are like low-maintenance pets. They leave you with happy thoughts and act as a stress buster after requiring very little care. The first thing to remember …
Have you heard of the term “thigmomorphogenesis?” It is a phenomenon that states the response of any plant towards the human touch. Yes, plants do respond to our touch, but it’s not visible at most times. They have their way of showing a response, and recently, scientists have found various types of reactions. While some …

Like humans and animals, even plants need water for survival, and the lack thereof can kill them. As responsible plant parents, it is our responsibility to see their hints and provide them with whatever …
The plant kingdom is a marvel- a realm wherein plants exist, and we know too little about them. The superficial aspects of it are, of course, relatively well known- that they need water, air, and the sun, that they conduct photosynthesis to grow and develop, and that leaves are green because of a pigment called …
I have often wondered about the possibilities that espouse the planting of cacti with succulents. As an avid gardener with a penchant for variety, I like to club unlikely flowers together—hothouse roses with pink peppercorn orchids, gentians, and cornflowers, astors among trellises of bougainvillea. The effect is charming- one of casual disarray and seeming randomness. …
Insects, especially ants, are the most common (not to forget annoying) part of our gardens. Ants somehow manage to find a way around or inside a pot despite all our efforts to keep them away. If you, too, face the problems of ants inside your house (because you are an indoor plant fanatic), you might …
Light is one of the most important factors that contribute to the growth of a plant. Without proper lighting, plants won’t be able to continue the process of photosynthesis that can further lead to a lack of nutrition in the plants. Though the plants growing in forests and countryside receive a good amount of sunlight, …
