Hey all,<br />
<br />
Lately I got super busy with my photography adventures, my work and the relocating in india left me with no time to login to my blog. All settled and here I am back to share my redesigned aquarium + Pond..<br />
<br />
The idea behind.<br />
<br />
In my previous place i had a good terrace for gardening but now with two balcony I had no other option than planing small space gardening with my current (huge) set of container. As the current balcony faces east, <span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"type":45,"tn":"*G"}" id="fbPhotoPageCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption"> so its really hard to deal with, direct sunlight form
algae. Even though the water is clear, I need to clean the glass from
inside two times a week. But rest its relaxing to watch my fish and the
Lilly every morning sipping a cup of tea </span></span>..<br />
<br />
Without delaying.. Here is my new improvised pond+aquarium..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hf9aOd0QrVY/U5VgHqQLpJI/AAAAAAAAD2k/MRBH5E9TSr0/s1600/waterlilly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hf9aOd0QrVY/U5VgHqQLpJI/AAAAAAAAD2k/MRBH5E9TSr0/s1600/waterlilly.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"type":45,"tn":"*G"}" id="fbPhotoPageCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">I tried with different container
and at last i settled up with the custom glass container. I have
different colored guppies and gold fish, with adding filter, it may look
like aquarium but for me its more water container. I have peach water
Lilly.. Planning to add one more container in my balcony.</span></span><br />

Yesterday I was in super market with my friend to pick some flowers to my another friend (for their house warming ceremony). As I was picking flowers my friend just looked at me and said, why do you want to give these cut flowers where as you can pick these plant which will be forever.. I looked at him and I just picked some Jade plant and Made these two beautiful kokedama out of it.<br />
<br />
I made one as tabletop for their living rom and another as string garden new their porch.. They loved it totally. This happened 6 months back and still the plant is doing well..<br />
<br />
Then I realized, if you can gift your friends a plant you are not only giving a plant but you are encouraging having green in their small space.<br />

As fall approaches, it's time to redo our garden, bring few of plants inside and build a greenhouse. But wait there are other DIY's which will not stop you with gardening..<br />
<br />
1. Miniature or table top gardening<br />
2. String Gardening or kokedama in string<br />
3 Vertical Gardening with waste bottles<br />
4. Hydroponics with Wine bottles<br />
5. Glass garden or terraium<br />
6. Gardening with sea shells<br />
7. And lastly container gardening with any container..<br />
<br />

Hmmm this is something new i tried after kokedama. (Yes i went to <a href="http://www.sprouthome.com/terrariums/" target="_blank">Sprout Home</a> to learn this one, you can say the young ladies are experts there) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Easy to do but designing, materials and the plant to chose is more important. I tried with succulents and some tropical plants though.</div>

Recently (as I was free, thank to vacation) I was searching for courses on terrarium and ended up with the course which I never heard but keen to know what exactly is it. I went with no clue or you can say an empty cup.. to know more about this technique, surprisingly i was so fascinated I ended doing 6 of those kind. I am referring to Kokedama.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This was done by me!</td></tr>

Before that I would like to give a gist of info on ancient gardening techniques used till now. I try to gather a little information on them. Japanese Gardening is vast and an artistic way to represent the nature with natural materials. There are few methods of growing plants when they are young, mature and all grown. I am going to take only four of them.<br />
<br />
1. Ne-arai - Root washed out<br />
A mature single or multiple plants of same kind cultivated in a container. Once the roots are well grown, it will be removed from the container and then the soil too. Its an art of displaying a mature plants with root visible in a tray. Gradually the moss grows naturally. Matured plants are used.<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.kusamono.ch/Accent_6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.kusamono.ch/Accent_6.jpg" width="305" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I took this picture from kusamono.ch</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
2. Kusamono - The name is composed of two japanese character - grass thing<br />
It is more of arrangement of wild grass. The three basic type of planting would be - moss ball, out of pot and in container. They are more often used as a support to bonsai to indicate the season. Matured plants are used.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://kojikis.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/kusamono1.jpg?w=584" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="385" src="http://kojikis.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/kusamono1.jpg?w=584" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I took this picture from kojikis.wordpress.com</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
3. Bonsai - Planting in a tray<br />
Very common and well known technique. A tree forced to remain small and planted in traditional pottery. It requires more time and dedication. Matured plant with less require of water is used.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_dEMOvEXkeI/Ts2uY7YJjaI/AAAAAAAABE0/xOuFUkULxeU/s1600/IMG_0241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_dEMOvEXkeI/Ts2uY7YJjaI/AAAAAAAABE0/xOuFUkULxeU/s320/IMG_0241.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
4. Kokedama - Moss ball, referred as mini-bonsai.<br />
This is another technique likely to see among florist. In this the plant is wrapped with a mixture of coco peat, akadama and final layer with moss sheet using string or thread. This is also referred as string garden and very easy to do. Young plants are used and later we can use it for Ne-arai.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I came across these four but there might be much more concept alone in Japanese gardening.<br />
<br />
I will give in detail about kokedam in my next post.<br />
<br />
Happy Gardening<br />

When the day my Water lilly stood in my small pond majestically, I thought its time now to redesign my water garden. Yes, I abandoned it for few months and resulted in no flower. As i started taking care its started to bloom and now its third in a row. I miss them now as I have come to US. Though I didn't get much time to publish before coming US, i thought better be not late.<br />

Here goes my new water garden - cozy and peaceful.</div>

It was in last month I took time off to visit one of the Big garden we have at Bangalore - Lalbagh Botanical Garden. Being in Bangalore for almost 10 years I never took time to visit this place. At last I did. There were lot of concept garden, I was very much interested in Bonsai Garden. There are more than 50 Bonsai plants and not less than 35 years age. I was so dumbfounded to see so much in one place. But couldn't see all as it started raining heavily.<br />

A beautiful and exotic flower with a dumbfounding number of varieties and color. Orchids represent love, beauty, luxury, strength and prosperity. They are found in tress as “ Epiphytes” (air plants) and as “Terrestrial” (ground plants). The epiphytes which can be a houseplant but their needs for light, water, humidity and growing methods vary comparing to other indoor house plants.</div>

Orchids are native to tropical rainforest, but we always need to be careful while watering them. We must not water them everyday or more often, excess of water will kill them instantly. They have to be watered twice a week to keep them evenly moist but not soaking wet. Watering orchids during day helps them to dry by night.</div>

Orchid blooms twice a year. The spikes are tall and stylishly bent. The flower stays for least three months with good care. In a mature plant, when the last flower falls, cut the high end of the spike but just above a node and below the lowest bloom. The plant may send out new flowering branch. If your plant is young and have small leave its better to cut off the spike.</div>

When doing repotting for orchids, a good container is imperative. The best would be plastic container, with good ventilation area to avoid water standing and preserve moisture for long. It is suggested to do the repotting during spring and summer, as the plants will be in active growth. You can use orchid mix, which is available in market, or alternatively you can make your own mix with some sphagnum moss, tree-fern fiber, coco peta and some barks. </div>

I belong to a small city in south india. There the concept of garden means big but unplanned traditional way. We had and having almost all kind of plants - shrubs, veins/creeper/climber, Tropical plants, Trees, flowering plants but no water plants.<br />
<br />
But now a days in a busy city and with hectic schedule, time and the space is a huge constraints too. Time permits but not the space. Size is indeed relative when it comes to garden specially in an a apartments and even not having enough place for garden. It is difficult to grow all the plants we get tempted.<br />
<br />
There are as many solution as there are gardens, but we compromise either with no garden or with containers in a line. If we use imagination as device and put in reality guess even small space can turn into a small garden room.<br />
<br />
The less space you have, the more important is to designing your garden and which style your garden should have. The secret of beautiful garden lies in the maintenance, if you enjoy gardening then you wont feel it as burden. But for working people specially finding the time to properly maintain the garden.<br />
<br />
This is where small garden works wonder.<br />
<br />
A miniature garden which pleases everybody, with a little land you can create your own small green room. There are wide concepts of garden for small spaces - Container Garden, Vertical Garden, Water Garden and you can even try Japanese and zen style design.<br />
<br />
Depending upon space and your personality you can chose the design. Adding some furniture and garden accents, you can leave a personal touch.<br />
<br />
Happy Gardening<br />

From last 4 months I waited for this water lilly to bloom.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zav2-CCPU3k/TpB35W-7AhI/AAAAAAAABE0/lwf2DCsLkYI/s1600/IMG_1928.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zav2-CCPU3k/TpB35W-7AhI/AAAAAAAABE0/lwf2DCsLkYI/s640/IMG_1928.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Even though part of this plant (I mean the parent bulb) started blooming early. I tried to do a small research and consulted my gardner on the same. We just need to follow few basic simple steps.<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 26px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was wondering what can make us come out of stress and smile, what can help us to live healthy but in more simpler way. The answer came out too simple, thats your garden.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">It doesn't matter how long your day may go or how much stress you underwent at your work, when u are back home just watering your plants talking to them and taking care of small things vaporizes the stress and pain.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 17.0px Helvetica; line-height: 26.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">I started doing gardening when i was a kid. I used to spend lot of time with my granny in our big garden. We used to sit watch the plants for insects, removing dry leaves, putting manure and many more small things. Those days garden is a must in the house 'front yard' that is what people call now. We used to share plants from our neighbors and friends. I never realized when this activity became a hobby and till today i spend the same time alone though and some time when i visit my granny. </span></div>

Coming days i would like to share my ideas and interest specially with container, terrace and patio garden. Hope all goes well.. </span></div>
