Sunlight requirement categorises plants as
Indoor Plants
1.Aglaonema sp.-There are quite a large number of aglaonemas grown,though they all look rather alike.
Aglaonemas make compact little plants,developing a sort of trunk as they age.The plant does not require to be very well-lit,but will not be happy in a too dark position.
2.Araucaria excelsa - These grow slowly and do not need much repotting.
It makes a very elegant small tree for indoor selection.It should be given a very well-lit position and should be turn around at intervals,so that the growths remain symmetrical.If the plant is left in the same position,the shoots will all tend to grow towards the light and the attractive symmetry will be lost.
3.Scindapsus sp - A moist atmosphere and a well-lit but shaded situation are what this plant requires.
This climbing plant does not develops the yellow markings on its leaves,when the situation is too dark.
4.Schefflera actinophylla - These plants are happy in intermediate condition of light and shade.
The leaflet radiate around the stalk like the rays of a light,it is extremely interesting to see the plant improve yearly.
5.Dracaena - The plant has a fountain of very broad leaves which curve slightly at the tips.
They are green with thin red margins.During the summer they may be kept outdoors too.
6.Cordyline terminalis -These are low growing shrubs with oblong oval leaves.
They are not difficult plants to keep in good condition and though they survive in intermediate conditions,there is every reason to suppose that they would survive the winter without damage.
7.Ficus sp.-The plant will survive in shady conditions,but has no no objection to light.
The plants contain a milky latex.
8.Sansevieria - This will not require great quantities of water,although it should be provided in moderation when the condition of the soil calls for it.
The plant has very thick,tough,leathery and erect leaves that are usually about 18 inches high in well-grown plants.These leaves are 2-3 inches wide,and have a very thin green margin with a yellow stripe next to it,while the center of the leaf is grey-green with transverse bands of a darker color.
9.Tradescantia -These are easiest of all indoor plants to grow.The plant does best in a well-lit situation but does not like direct sunlight.
The leaves spring directly from the stem in some species.
10.Philodendron -These are climbing plants and they produce aerial roots at every leaf- joint.
They can be grown under cool condition,although it will prefer the warmer intermediate temperatures.
Now, we are familiar with these indoor plants,few things to be kept in mind are not to provide excess water and not to overfeed with manures and fertilizers to avoid frequent re-potting.Feel the spirit to realize that indoor plants are really forever fresh goodies for decorating a beautiful home or a vibrant office.

Tips for Planning Your Indoor Garden
Indoor garden plants live under forced environment condition of
our homes, offices or any other premises where they are placed. Therefore, it
requires a regular monitoring schedule to observe all aspects for healthy growth
of plants growing indoors.
1. Potting and repotting
The soil in pots
should be loose and friable to provide better aeration for roots. The pot media
with a 3:1:1 proportion of coco peat, vermiculite and perlite is suitable for most of the common house
plants. Do not forget to make hole in the bottom of container for drainage. The
top soil of pots with bonsai plants should covers with moss on top to maintain
moisture. Sandy loam soil with pH range between
6.5 – 7.5 is normally suitable to plants.
2. Choose the right location
Large plants
like ficus, araucaria, raphis palm, areca palms, pony tail palm, cycas palm and
rubber plant better fit in corners. Medium sized plants like dracaena,
cordyline, acalypha, and crotons can be placed near furniture.Jade, begonia,
succulents, cacti and bonsai can be used on tables, windows and shelves. Money
plant, philodendron, syngonium and spathyllium can be used as bathroom plants
besides moisture loving plants lik ferns.
3. Nutrition management
Nitrogenous,
phosphoric and potash fertilizers in granular or liquid can be applied to pots
regularly. Rhizobium, azotobacter and nutrient solubilizing bacteria can be
applied as organic management practice.
4. Water management
Take a pinch of
soil to feel dryness and moisture to water accordingly. Too much moisture and
doo dry soil, both are harmful. Direct flooding can be done in case of large
plants like ficus, araucaria, raphis palm, areca palms, pony tail palm, cycas
palm and rubber. Use water can for medium sized plants like dracaena,
cordyline, acalypha, and crotons. Apply water by misting through hand sprayer
for small pots.
5. Insect management
Spray registered
pesticides available in market on fortnightly interval to prevent insect
attack. Neem based botanical insecticides can be used as they are eco-friendly.
6. Disease management
Home remedy like
a pinch of turmeric powder in 1 litre water can be used as preventive spray to
reduce incidence of fungal diseases. Copper and sulphur based fungicides are
available in market which might be required to treat a disease. Trichoderma sp.
and Pseudomonas sp are used as botanical
fungicides.
7. Pruning and training
Pruning and
training a operation which is necessary to keep plants in shape. This can be
done in hard wood plants like crotons and ficus. This should be done regularly
in case of bonsai.
8. Plant Sanitation
Remove all fallen leaves from pots and throw them outside in compost preparation area. Any dead leaf, blighted leaves and those with disease spots should also be removed as they serve as inoculums.
They are eggs and younger stages of insects like scales and mealy bugs. The twigs and other plant portion with these insect stages should be cut and removed.
9. Plant growth regulators
Use cytokinin based and seaweed extract based
enzymes to make plants grow faster. Triacontanol and brassinolides are new generation growth
promoters.
10. Separation of suckers
Suckers of plant
like aloevera and chrysanthemum can be separated after cutting. These can be
planted in new pot to make a new plant. Similarly, bulbs of lilies can be
separated during lean season.
The above
mention tips will help in making your plants healthy. More plants multiplied
during pruning and dividing will increase green area with healthy plants. So,
plan your indoor garden with these easy tips.

3.HOME GARDEN
Often we say "Oh, i love gardening but i live on 8th floor".This does not makes any sense to me.Their questions are "How will i manage soil"- ask ur help to collect from any nearby construction site.
"No we can't"- then go for soilless pots or Hydroponics.
"But how will i manage"- take Gardening Classes.
"We Don't have balcony"- keep them indoor.
"They won't survive"- select indoor plants only.

SOIL
"Do NOT touch the SOIL your clothes will get DIRTY".
Above statements used during parenting are signs of concern for future.
Therefore the time has now come that every Indian,whether in Urban or Rural areas should make attempts by spending sometime with children particularly in the age group of 3 yrs to 10 years and teach them about nature.
Above statements used during parenting are signs of concern for future.
Therefore the time has now come that every Indian,whether in Urban or Rural areas should make attempts by spending sometime with children particularly in the age group of 3 yrs to 10 years and teach them about nature.
Just let the kids play around pots in your balcony,kitchen garden,home garden or terrace garden.
Make them familiar about basic aspects of nature.
1.SOIL has various meanings in our day to day life.
1.A builder says this is dead material fulfiling his construction inputs.
2.A gardener says this provides nutrients to my plants.
3.A philosopher says soil is just another world- comprising all entities living and non-living.
Therefore,whether soil is living thing or non-living thing,let's ask ourselves.
So,let's come closer to soil,be close to nature and we can find ourselves NATURAL.
Take a pinch of soil from pot between your fingers and try to feel it's stickyness.This will give the basic idea to distinguish among different kinds of soil.Detail study lets you learn about various physical,chemical and biological properties of Soil.Soil has various profiles as shown in the picture of soil from a field in Punjab,India.
1.Alkali Soil- Lime content is high-Treat wih GYPSUM2.Acidic Soil-pH is recorded less than 7 - Treat with LIMESTONE3.Saline Soil-Excess quantity of salts are observed.
The above three are major types of soils found in Indian Gardens.
Soil color is primarily affected by soil type and composition, not so much pH. For instance, organic-rich soils (dark brown or almost black, which can be moderate pH) tend to be darker than organic-poor soils (light brown, lower pH), which in turn tend to be darker than high mineral content soil (such as sand, higher pH).
Reds and yellows are common colours in soils and are the result of small quantities of iron compounds. The red colour is particularly associated with (Fe2O), whereas the yellow colour may indicate the presence of this same iron compound combined with water (hydrated iron oxide). Red colour indicates that the soil is well drained, but locally the colour may be derived from a red source rock such as a red shale or sandstone.
Grayish and bluish colours in soils of humid climates often mean the presence of reduced iron compounds (such as FeO) in the soil and indicate poor drainage or bog conditions. Grayish soils in dry climates mean a meagre amount of humus: a white colour may be a result of the deposit of salts in the soil. Although some recently formed soils retain the colour of the parent overburden or bedrock, the colour of fully developed soils is independent of what lies beneath.
The soil reaction could be Acidic,Neutral or Alkaline.It influences the soil properties like nutrient availbility,biological activities and soil physical conditions.Soil reaction is expressed in pH.
Saline soils is recognised when the pH reading of a saturated soil paste is less than 8.5 and there is presence of white crusts of salts on the surface.Saline soils contain soluble salts in such quantities that they interfere with the growth of most crop plants.Salinization generally occurs in the regions of arid and semi arid climate.
Sodic or Alkali soils are those whose pH is usually more than 8.5.Dispersed and dissolved organic matter present in the soil solution may be deposited on soil surface by evaporation ,thus causing darkening and giving the term black alkali.
SALINE-SODIC soils are found as a result of the combined process of salinization and alkalinization.As long as the excess salts are present,appearance and properties of these soils are genenerally similar to saline soils and pH remains seldom higher than 8.5.If the excess salts are reached downwards,the properties of these soils are changed considerably and it becomes similar to alkali soils.
Amelioration of Soils
GREEN REVOLUTION
Amelioration of Soils
1.Physical and Hydro-technical amelioration-Deep ploughing,Sub-Soiling,Sand filling ,profile inversion.
2.Biological - Addition of Organic Manures to improve water infiltration and release of CO2 during decomposition.
3.Chemical-Addition of Lime or Gypsum.
India has witnessed a Green Revolution but the present generation is very much aware that there are far better options than to work in the field of Agriculture.

| ORGANIC GARDEN MANAGEMENT Soil is a natural dynamic body.It's a medium of plant growth which supplies moisture,air and nutrients to support plant life.Soil is composed of mineral and organic materials and livings forms in which plant grows.
Soil organic matter represents an accumulation of partially decayed and partially synthesised plant and animal residues.On decomposition organic matter supplies nutrients,increases Water Holding Capacity in light textured soil and increases porosity in heavy textured soil.
ORGANIC FARMING involves specialized organic fertilizers and insecticides made from soil and plant extracts.Organic food is grown and processed without any chemical fertilizers,pesticides or fungicides without allowing anything artificial.Soil organic matter plays a important role in the maintenance and improvement of soil properties and it is a dynamic material and changes continuously as a result of microbial activity.It can therefore be maintained at a reasonably stable level both in quantity and quality by means of suitable additions of new organic materials.
Planting material should always be treated with fungicides and insecticides either by organic or INORGANIC methods. .
Annuals flowers are very sensitive to sowing dates as flowering is in direct correlation to sunlight intensity and duration.
Therefore,direction of plants placed particulary pots many a times also plays significant role in flowering.

Most of these are practised in "SWARIGPA"- Tibetan System of Medicine
HIMACHAL TREKKING ROUTE- KEYLONG TO PANGI
TREKKING ROUTE-KAZA TO GEU
One thing which attracted me most in Spiti is the only MUMMY in India.A place of worship for local people and tourists.This body is assumed to be more than 200 years old of an Lama- a Buddhist monk who was found in the mudra of Samadhi.
This is in the remotest village of Spiti and is named GEU.On this route from KAZA to GEU we can visit TABO which one of the very famous and old monastries.
Me in HIKKIM- The village with highest Post Office in the world situated in SPITI valley of Himachal Pradesh.Geographically Lahaul and Spiti is the largest district but the population density of this place is very low.The administrative headquarters of district consisting two valleys Lahaul and Spiti is located in KEYLONG in LAHAUL Valley

TREKKING ROUTE TO MILAM
TREKKING ROUTE TO TAPOVAN(GOMUKH)
Gangotri is approachable by bus from Delhi.
After that one has to be on foot.Support is available - Horses and Porter.
First base camp is Bhojwasa-14 kms from Gangotri.Tent accomodation and Dormitories are available.The
next day one can move towards gomukh.On reaching gomukh glacier the base may be TAPOVAN.Approx 200 m height on the opposite side of Gomukh.Utmost care should be taken while crossing the Gomukh glacier when going to Tapovan as there is a danger of breaking of glacier.
See the Gomukh Glacier splitting into two pieces while we were crossing for the other side of it to reach Tapovan.Bhagirath,Split Gomukh,Gomukh and Tapovan make a magnificient view.
GANGOTRI to GOMUKH
On the left of Gomukh tourists can see Bhagirath while on the right is Tapovan.
There are two huts in tapovan which lodging and fooding is availble on payment.
One hut is of Israeli Baba- A lady from Israel turned Hindu saint and settled there.
The other hut is of Bengali Baba,now his wife was managing.Late Baba can be seen in photographs removing snow cover of his hut with spade.in the photograph even during chilled winter of Himalayas when a common tourist is seen in kgs of woolen clothes was in only Dhoti-the tranditonal dress of saints.
The power was believed to be because of the Yoga he practised.

pulses, oilseeds, flowers, fruits, vegetables and medicinal crops. Transgenic crops are developed by
transferring the genes from animals, plants, viruses and bacteria. True to type
plants can be produced through these transgenic seeds.BT cotton crop has been
successfully cultivated for last
several years across the country.BT gene is derived from a bacteria called Bacillus thuringiensis. These crops are
less affected by attack of serious pests such as American bollworm. Several in
terms of quality and quantity have led to large scale cultivation of transgenic
and genetically modified crop.
ADVANTAGES TO SEED
INDUSTRY
Agricultural
biotechnology enables scientists to develop plant varieties and seeds with
inbuilt resistance to insect pests, diseases and resistance to abiotic stress. Model seeds farms owned by government
institutions, make the breeder seed of parental lines of new hybrids and
varieties to seed companies,for commercial seed production. Various
multinational seed companies like Monsanto, Semenis ,
Nunhems,Syngenta,Bayer and some Indian
