About These Plants

I have planted two lovely plants that need no introduction

1) Ajwain: Ajwain, ajowan or Trachyspermum ammi—also known as ajowan caraway, bishop's weed or carom. It belongs to the same family of Caraway, Fennel, and Cumin. The plant is not just a beautiful looking green herb but also has many health benefits. We often use Ajwain seeds in Indian Cooking. However, I am not sure if breast-0feeding mothers should consume them or not. 

2) Aloe Vera: Also known as "Grhitkumari" in Hindi, Aloe Vera is a succulent considered as nectar. It does not just purify the air but has great medicinal use also.

While these plants come with great consumption benefits, I like to keep them intact unless urgent. 

Things That You Would Need-

There are alternate ways to plant as well. However, I will enlist the products that I used-

1) A mid/large size pot

2) Potting mix

3) Plant cuttings [with roots]

4) A small Khurpi [Garden Tool] or a spoon to till the soil

5) Water [of course]

You can see the current status of the plants on my latest video here

How to Care for these Plants

I follow the right watering and sunshine regime. While I have kept Aloe Vera inside the house, close to the gallery, I water it only when the soil becomes dry. Wherein I have kept Ajwain on the stand in the gallery [direct exposure to the sun], and I try to water it once in a day [during non-peak sun hours] or twice in summers [Ahmedabad has very dry weather and if your gallery is west facing, you need extra care and if possible some time to time shades for the plants] 

Why Grow Plants at Home?

1) Being a plant parent not just nurture your personality but adds to your overall well-being

2) Fresh and real produce without contaminations

3) Adds to the overall aesthetic of the house esp when the plants have medicinal/ air-purifying values.

4) Most Importantly- for the love of plants!

If you are a plant parent, do let me know your experiences. 

Stay Haute, Stay Environment Friendly.
