My First patch of Green



As I write this, I see Mayank standing right in front wearing a green T-shirt :-)
The move to the new house has done wonders for me. The house radiates of positive energy and feels wonderful to be a part of this space. The best part about the house is the openness and ample sunlight that it receives. The kitchen window welcomes the morning sun and all the balconies in the house receives the afternoon and the evening sun. Considering the amount of light the house receives, and inspired by Ambika and Rekha I decided to get some plants.

I was not a Plant lover when I got my first plant but now, I am hooked to them. I bought my first plants from Green Essence and was inspired by Shabari and Dhanya who run the place. They are plant lovers and you can see that instantly. Its a small colourful place and houses many different plant varieties.Its a must visit for anyone with a green thumb.

Here' are the pics of first three plants I got. The first two sit comfortably on my Kitchen window. These are local arrangements and require very little maintenance. Indoor plants with every little sunlight and alternate day of watering. The last one is the Malli poo (Jasmine) :-) Need Sunlight but not the afternoon harsh sun. I keep her in that part of the balcony which receives sunlight for couple of hrs. I water her everyday and she blooms beautifully.
