Indoor Plants Care

Indoor plants help to create a pleasant home environment because of their colorful flowers or attractive leaves called foliage. Most of the plants that we grow indoors are simply outdoor plants from warmer countries. They have their origins in mountainous regions, rain forests, wide-open plans, and desserts. The indoor plants also have the same likes and dislike in terms of light and water as the plant grown in gardens. Proper watering and lighting are the most important components of indoor plant care, but humidity and temperatures also play a critical role. The trick is to try to mimic the climate of the place that the plant came from.

Plants can be propagated sexually and asexually. Sexual propagation includes propagation by seeds, while asexual propagation is based on the vegetative parts of plants for raising new ones. Vegetative parts of plants like shoots, leaves, buds, roots, stems, and underground parts are used in different ways for reproducing new plants. Asexual propagation is the best way to get new plants similar to their mother plant. The most common asexual propagation methods include cutting, layering, grafting, and budding.

How to Start a Vegetable Garden

Why garden? If you’ve never tasted fresh vegetables from your garden, you will be amazed by the sweet, fresh flavors and vibrant textures. If you grow them yourself, there’s absolutely nothing quite like fresh veggies, especially. This guide will provide you with some tips to start your vegetable garden.

Site Selection

Your garden should be out in the open, fully exposed to the sun. Most vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruits do best if they are not in the shade. Vegetables need 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If they receive more sunlight, the harvest will be great, the veggies will be bigger, and the taste will be great. The roots of trees and shrubs compete with your garden for water, so plants’ roots penetrate soft soil more quickly, so you need excellent loamy soil.
