  🪴INDOOR PLANTS🪴


1. Peace Lily As Houseplants:

Peace lilies make excellent houseplants for   the home or office.

These lovely plants not only brighten up a        living space, but are also excellent at                cleaning the air of the room they are in.

Peace lilies that are placed in more light     tend to produce the lovely white spathes   and  flowers more, while peace lilies in low   light will bloom less and will look more like   a traditional foliage plant.


 Plant Care:

👉Peace lilies are far more tolerant of                  underwatering than overwatering, which is      one of the most common reasons for a            peace lily to die.

👉Fertilizing with a balanced fertilizer one to      two times per year will be enough to keep        the plant happy.



2.snake plant :

The snake plant is one of those plants              known for both looking good and improving    air quality.

It’s wise to keep this plant away from               children and animals who are prone to             nibbling.

1.Filter indoor air.
2.Remove toxic pollutants.
3.May help boost mental health.



Care:

Always use coarse, fast-draining potting soil and containers with good drainage holes.

Light :- They tolerate poor light and prolonged shade, but they prefer strong, filtered light. 

Water:-Snake plants are very drought tolerant, so underwatering is rare.But overwatering is a quick route to root rot. 

Avoid overfertilizing. 

Propagation:-Repotting is the perfect time to start new snake plants. Division is the easiest way to propagate. 



3.Philodendron Plant:

•For generations, philodendrons have served   as a mainstay in interior gardens.

•plants adapt readily to conditions inside the    home.

•Philodendron houseplants thrive indoors   year round without complaint, but they enjoy   an occasional stay outdoors in a shady spot   when the weather permits.



Care:

Sunlight:Find a position near a window where the sun’s rays never actually touch the foliage.
On the other hand, if the stems are long and leggy with several inches between leaves, the plant probably isn’t getting enough light.

Water:When growing philodendron plants, allow the top inch (2.5 cm.) of soil to dry out between waterings. The length of your index finger to the first knuckle is about an inch (2.5 cm.), so inserting your finger into the soil is a good way to check the moisture level. Droopy leaves can mean that the plant is getting too much or not enough water.

Fertilizer:Water the plant with the fertilizer monthly in spring and summer and every six to eight weeks in fall and winter. Slow growth and small leaf size is the plant’s way of telling you that it isn’t getting enough fertilizer. Pale new leaves usually indicate that the plant isn’t getting enough calcium and magnesium, which are essential micro-nutrients for philodendrons.







4.Rubber tree:

👉They can grow to impressive heights                 within a few years, especially if you put           the  plants outside during the summer.

👉 Keeping the plants in small pots will                 restrict their growth, if you want to keep           them smaller.

👉Avoid placing your rubber plant in a spot         that receives direct sunlight because the         leaves can begin to burn.

👉 They can also learn to tolerate low light            conditions and can survive in offices and        other poorly lit areas. 

👉Also, due to the large surface area of the         leaves, this plant can absorb indoor air             pollutants efficiently.

1. Inexpensive to Grow.
2. Low Maintainance Plant.
3. No Allergic Properties.
4. Waxy Colorful Foliage.
5. Large Tropical Houseplant.
6. Removes Pollutants.


Care:

Light:-The Rubber Tree needs at least six to eight hours of light daily.If your windows receive harsh direct sun, placing a sheer curtain over it can help diffuse the light. You can tell if the Rubber Tree is not receiving enough light by the color on its leaves, which will begin fading.

water:It is best to water your Rubber Tree every 1-2 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.If the plant’s leaves begin curling inward or the potting mix is dry, this is a sign you need to water it more often. Conversely, if the leaves begin dropping or the potting mix is wet, you should decrease the frequency of your watering schedule.

GRAFT OR BUD UNION Author:- S.Hemanth

Physiology of graft (or) bud union formation   Article by:- S.Hemanth A. Characteristics of a functional graft union  Mechanical strength  Initially some sticking together of scion and stock is achieved by intercellular adhesion at first and intermingling of callus subsequently, but ultimately it is the interlocking of xylem fibers (wood) that results in a strong, permanent graft union.  Translocation   The structural integrity of the graft union not only holds the grafted plant together, but it is the reestablishment of anatomical and functional continuity between xylem and phloem that allows for translocation of water and minerals by the xylem, and conduction of carbohydrates and other organics by the phloem.    B. Sequence of graft union formation  Necrotic plate  The necrotic plate is a layer of desiccated, crushed cell walls at the cut surface of both stock and scion. Suberin (a waxy material) and pectin...
