From exquisite Orchids to lush Fuchsia, let the shades of ‘Awakening’ inspire your home garden - Architectural Digest India
Tuesday, April 16, 2019Also, known as the Red Edged Madagascar Dragon Tree, the staggered cane is a great alternative to the silk bamboo as an indoor plant with similar Feng Shui benefits.LIPSTICK PLANT Aglaonema Siam AuroraThis stunner has leaves has that show off dark green leaves elegantly flushed with bright pink veins that makes it look like a woman’s painted lips. A relatively new addition to the houseplant world, the stylish shrub grows best in mild, indirect light which is why it is best suited for coffee tables and office desks. The plant needs minimal care and its attractive features make it the perfect hostess gift! Place it in an ivory white planter alongside a pink polka dot plant (listed below) and you have a sureshot conversation starter!PINK POLKA DOT PLANT Hypoestes PhyllostachyaThe polka dot plant’s hot pink foliage would announce a pop of colour in even a plain jane living room! Get the most from the polka dot plant’s bright color by growing it a pot that contrasts or complements the colorful foliage. Mix it with other polka dot plant varieties that have white or red leaves to create a peppered look! The plant looks best short, so keep pruning and pinching it often and since it is an annual, do remember that it has a short shelf life.RED AMARANTH Amaranthus CruentusThis superfood looks superb when grown in the kitchen. Even if you do not have a green thumb, the salad leaf can be grown using soil-less gardening techniques, in a plant gel or hydroponically. Having a steady supply of the nutritious plant growing on the window sill also means you could save some grocery shopping money! Many small, tropical, songbirds draw nectar from the amaranth flower so expect pleasant surprises at the kitchen window, when this one blossoms!DWARF LILY Nymphaea RubraThis emerse plant comes from the same genus as the water lily and is a big hit with aquarium keepers! While you won’t be able to find one at a plant nursery, it is easily available at most tropical fish shops! It is fairly easy to grow even in low light plant which is why it is recommended even to amateur aquascapers. It grows from a bulb and has both leaves underwater and lily pads on top of the water. Even if you don’t keep fish as pets, this makes an attractive spectacle when grown in a glass vase or decanter! All you have to do is top up the water levels from time to time.ALSO READ:Kunal Maniar’s inspired design for this garden fuses nature with decor... https://www.architecturaldigest.in/content/asian-paints-awakening-colour-of-the-year-indoor-plants/

Star French florist weathers pandemic - FRANCE 24
Sunday, February 28, 2021Brussels (AFP) There was a time, pre-pandemic, that Thierry Boutemy's flowery creations graced catwalks, magazine covers and celebrity weddings.Now, of course, the French florist -- who has worked for Sofia Coppola, Lady Gaga and the fashion house Hermes -- is having to weather the crisis like anyone else.But his passion for petals has not withered.For more than 25 years, Boutemy has run his boutique in Brussels, a cob-walled den where Italian poppies, Dutch hellebores and tulips from the south of France perfume the air.All are imported -- "Belgium doesn't produce anything in winter," he says -- but they are all blooming, alive, from soil, free from chemicals and of verified provenance.That attention to detail and devotion to nature means Boutemy sources most of his plants from small growers discovered on the sidelines of the Royal FloraHolland Auction House -- the biggest in the world -- in the Dutch city of Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam."That market is a disaster," he told AFP."It's an industry-scale war machine that works like a poultry battery farm. It's full-on commercialism," he said, describing a technique used by some to colour flowers by soaking them in dye."Instead of buying a bunch of flowers at a supermarket check-out, it's better to buy a single flower for three euros," he argued, complaining how horticulturists are being squeezed by the sector's industrialisation.- No 'fashion fl... https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210222-star-french-florist-weathers-pandemic
