Finally found the real Jade, not one but two.

But the leaves looked like they needed water, but watering didn't change anything.
So we decided to take the plant out of its pot and found the answer underneath.

It's a good reminder that before changing your watering routine, fertilising, or treating the plant, it's sometimes worth checking what's happening below the soil.

Now we're giving this Jade a chance to rebuild its root system. Subscribe to Shall We Grow to see what happens next.

Two years can change a plant completely.

This Madhumalti went from a tiny plant to one that climbed an entire house. But somewhere along the way, its new growth started looking different.

So we went looking beyond the leaves to understand what had changed.

Now we'll have to wait for the next flush to see if we got it right. Follow along & we’ll wait together.

We genuinely didn't expect a plant this small to flower.

And that's what makes plants so interesting, there's often more going on beneath the surface than we can see.

Now that flowering is over, we're giving this little Aglaonema a fresh start and watching what it does next.

Do you remember the first time one of your plants surprised you?

Come With Us for a Plant Consultation!
It's always interesting to see how different people garden.

Every space comes with its own constraints, and every gardener finds their own way of dealing with them.

This time, the challenge wasn't sunlight, pests, or soil.

It was making sure that caring for them would still feel manageable years from now.

Comment ‘Drip’ if you want to install this DIY Drip Irrigation System on your terrace.

Most “Jade Plants” sold in India are actually Mini Jade (Portulacaria afra).

But the name isn’t the reason they struggle. Both plants have similar care because they're succulents.

The real issue is that many of us care for them like regular houseplants instead of drought-adapted succulents.

And during the monsoon, that difference matters even more.

Are your Mini Jade leaves also dropping this rainy season?

The plant commonly sold as Brahma Kamal in India usually isn't the true Brahma Kamal.

Once you know where each plant naturally grows, everything starts to make sense.

So, do you have a Brahma Kamal or a Night Queen?

We don’t talk enough about how kind the gardening community is.

A few weeks ago, one of you messaged us saying you wanted to send us some plant cuttings.

A few days later, a box travelled all the way from Kolkata to Mumbai.

Inside were some incredible plants that now have a new home on our balcony. 💚

Biki Chowdhury thank you. We'll take good care of them.

Comment ‘Drip’ if you'd like the links to both these versions.

Most people think drip irrigation is only for farms.

The truth is, the same principle works beautifully in balcony and terrace gardens too.

Instead of watering every pot individually, the system delivers water slowly, directly to the root zone.
The Jain Terrace Drip Kit by Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd. is available in Automatic and Manual variants, depending on how you'd like to water your plants.

Those tiny bumps on your plant might not be dirt.
They might not even be part of the plant.

They're called scale insects—one of the easiest pests to overlook and one of the hardest to eliminate once established.

Unlike many insects, adult scale insects stay fixed in one spot, protected by a waxy covering that makes them look like harmless bumps. Meanwhile, they continue feeding on the plant's sap, slowly weakening it over time.

That's why early detection is so important.
If you notice yellowing leaves, weak growth, leaf drop, or unusual bumps on stems and leaves, take a closer look before the infestation spreads.
Have you ever dealt with scale insects?

With Neon Pothos and many variegated plants, leaf colour is often the plant's response to its environment.

When light is limited, the plant produces more chlorophyll to capture more energy for photosynthesis. More chlorophyll means greener leaves, and less of the bright neon or variegated colour you bought the plant for.

The good news? If the plant hasn't completely reverted, improving its light conditions can often bring the colour back in new growth, just like it did with ours.

Have you ever had a variegated or Neon plant slowly turn green?
