#decaying flower structures? garden of time.

[paeliae-occasionally]

Can you tell me a little about the gardens of Tamir’Sul?

Why, of course! I love talking about the death realms!

To preface for anyone unfamiliar, The gardens is a place in the death realm of Tamir’sul which houses souls who died at unnatural times. This could be because of an interaction that wasn’t meant to happen, especially if they were murdered or made a choice that lead to their unnatural death. This also includes necromancers or people who try to live beyond their natural years. This realm is ruled by the goddess Schaeres.

If you left the world before you were meant to die, you only stay in Tamir’sul until your natural death was meant to occur, then you are taken to the regular death realm.

The Gardens

So the gardens are the part of Tamir’sul where honoured souls are placed. It’s a bit like the Greek Elysium but not necessarily good people, just honoured people.

The first thing you notice about the gardens is that they are beautiful. They are made up of hundreds of plants growing and shifting as they hang from structures or drape across archways. Imagine hanging gardens of Babylon, but brighter and more colourful, covering every section of the ground with some type of moss or flower.

Secondly you notice that these plants are not quite natural, they are imbued with magic to perfectly mimic life in a realm of all dead things. Their constant motion, (accelerated growth, swaying as if wind was blowing across them) is also propelled by magic.

The gardens are also suffused with music. While the rest of this realm is deathly quiet, soft lyre and string music plays quietly across the majority of the gardens. Tae’etsu (energy spirits) sometimes play or imbue instruments with energy to allow them to play themselves.

This is an area in my world that is not heavily explored in any of my stories but it is peaceful and the resting place for some of our heroes.

Notable people in the gardens include:

Rin. He won’t move to true death by request of Ezemhaziel, god of Ike (magic). Rin helped Ez create the first runes.

Paeliae of Myr was here for a while. Paeliae carried the treaty to the king of the dieral gods in the dissolution.

Andea Cohsi for a while, she has passed on now as the time of her natural death came. Cohsi discovered the Cohsi elements (a group of simple components) and also proposed the idea of magical decay for the first time.

Muliva Kazi, she has also passed. Kazi developed the godly bindings used in the dissolution.

Thanks for the ask, hope you enjoyed.

[headspace-hotel]

some times i see people talking about the Earth and climate change saying things like "now i know it is difficult to deal with utter hopelessness, terror, and visiting the thoughts of death"

and it's like wow I am so deeply sorry about the suffering. but...concern. Concern. Tell me, am I missing something important? Why do I feel a sense of hope for our planet? Am I a lonely fool? Have I been consumed by naïveté and misguided optimism?

That would be weird. It feels weird. It feels like I would be well suited to despair. My natural temperament is Mortal Terror making my body crushed for a thousand years at the bottom of the deepest trenches of the ocean. I've thought before "I can't live any more. This exceeds the tensile strength of the human spirit."

And then? After irreversible catastrophic failure of the soul, there is...what?

We try to imagine the future where we fight to save our home and it is very painful. The resistance feels so small and the machine of death feels so vast. But something's missing.

Everyone else is missing—the plants, trees, bugs, beasts, and creatures. Hello? Are the other humans seeing this? Nature wants you to know that she is not a princess in a tower. Look! Look at the chaos moving through every cell! Iterating! Adapting! Becoming! Thriving! Watch the pollinators tirelessly at work, observe the mycorrhizal network in the forest floor distributing the rich fruits of decay and photosynthesis for every inhabitant! Pay attention! We belong here too. They feed and shelter us, give us the very air we breathe, and in return we plant and propagate, cull, thin, and burn, shape, trample, till, shepherd and sprout seeds. Our species can look toward the future, to the world of our descendants. We can call every plant and animal by name and teach our children to use and care for them responsibly. We can feel this anger, pain, and grief on behalf of the family of Life, OUR family, and we can love the smallest beetle and the humblest moss.

Look at it! This thing is nothing like me, it does not benefit me, it has no use or purpose for me, but LOOK at it! Look at its intricate structure! Look at the marvelousness of its behaviors and biological functions! Look at its uniqueness throughout the whole universe! Look at it, and see its infinite value!

I saved a baby tree from the scorching hot gravel of a parking lot. I watched it grow and thrive in the hands of its caretaker. Many more followed, trees and herbs and flowers, rescued and carefully placed in cups and old tubs that once held yogurt and sour cream. This is so strange, I thought. They're everywhere, offering themselves for free, and no one thinks to take them. Everyone thinks transplanting a tree is hard and that nothing grows on the edge of the pavement but weeds. But it's so easy??? This is weird. Plant Nurseries Hate Her: Get Free Plants With This One Weird Trick.

I protected an old barren garden patch where nothing had thrived from being mowed and weed-whacked, and transplanted little plants that I found. I marveled at the bees that came. Chicory bloomed, then asters and goldenrod. I shed actual tears over a spicebush swallowtail. I ordered some milkweed from the internet, and the monarchs came for them. Less then twenty-five bucks for a divine experience like this. Wow, everyone else really needs to know!

I started volunteering at a nature center, and was allowed to transplant flowers where they sprouted in inopportune locations. I collected tons of seeds all fall and winter long.

There is much, much more, all of it bigger than I ever would have imagined. But this spring there were more birds, in number and in species, than I'd ever seen in my back yard before. Chickadees, swallows, finches, nuthatches, jays, cardinals, warblers, sparrows, woodpeckers of every kind...I remembered just a couple years prior when all I ever saw out there was a couple grackles or starlings or robins, with the occasional sparrow. Those birds come in flocks rather than couples now. And then the bumblebee arrived. An American bumblebee, endangered now, a queen. For a few days she was always out there, would fly out and buzz around me when I came out to tend to my now-innumerable plants. It's nesting time for them. She chose this place I was creating. She saw that this place would take care of her.

A week ago, I discovered wild strawberries growing in my Mamaw's driveway. I found lyreleaf sage growing beside a gravel road. I've become a master of transplanting; I took several of each home. Yesterday, I saw a tiny, metallic blue bee, an Osmia mason bee. Today, I saw an oriole and a strange, very fancy fly. I see something new almost every day. Every day I am being irreversibly changed as a person. How did I ever fail to see how much this matters?

I said I feel hope...do I feel it? I don't think it's a feeling, I think it's a practice. It's being part of our communities and our ecosystems. Nature's interconnectedness is both reality and example: to survive, we take care of one another. And when one member of the community helps another thrive, it creates a cascade that increases the thriving of all. Just by existing, you help us all survive.

You can only take care of so many plants before you have to give some away. You can only hold so much knowledge before you have to give it away. I gave seeds to a dozen different flowers to my next-door neighbor and she invited me inside and wouldn't let me leave without food, and we talked about plants and trees. A family friend lets me have goats' milk and heirloom vegetables in exchange for help around the farm, and I listen to him talk about trees, bugs, and soil and learn so much I feel like I'm about to explode from knowledge.

Being a caretaker is unavoidably a community-oriented, community-forming thing. You can't grow plants all by yourself. Your garden will make too many tomatoes. Share them. Your milkweed will make hundreds and hundreds of seeds. Spread them. Wild blackberries invite you to take and eat. Your lonely retired neighbor invites you to talk and keep her company. Once you grow delicious fruits or little oak trees, you always have a reason to greet someone and say, "Look, it is a gift!"

We're not alone. We are not separate. We take care of each other. Every species, every individual. A single action of caretaking creates a cascade effect of thriving. A single unapologetic love for a creature creates a blossom of curiosity and fascination in everyone surrounding. It's so powerful.

As my chemical romance says "I am not afraid to keep on living"

Flora and Fungai to Inspire Your Fantasy Works

Adding plants into your stories might not seem important, but they can be a helpful tool in making your fantasy worlds seem more real. If it is a goal of yours to create your own fantasy plants, I hope this post saves you time.

A while back I did a post about real-life animals that have such extraordinary abilities that they seem like they belong in a fantasy novel, and this time we are going to focus on plants. For writers, taking inspiration from the real-world can be a great time saver. For example; let’s say you want to create a carnivorous plant that attracts scavenger animals with the scent of corpses; well, you could take inspiration from the corpse flower and pitcher plant(both below) and take note of how those plants work. With your new notes, you can create a fantasy plant that seems realistic.

The Lava-Eating Cactus

Lava cacti play a significant role in turning empty lava fields into lush bio-diverse landscapes. As lava cacti establish themselves on barren lava fields, their roots penetrate the volcanic rock, then release a bacteria that breaks down the lava. This breakdown of rock releases nutrients for the cactus, then when the cactus dies, the cactus becomes the soil for other plants to start on.

The Flower that Smells Like death

The corpse flower, is a plant famed for its enormous size, and pungent odor resembling rotting flesh. Producing one of the worlds largest flowers — reaching heights over 3 meters (10 feet) — its blooming event draws crowds to botanical gardens worldwide despite it’s smell. This foul odor serves to attract pollinators, facilitating the plant’s reproduction.

Sheltering Under This Tree could Kill You

The Manchineel tree, is a plant with an attractive appearance which hides it’s danger. Nearly every part of the tree contains toxic compounds; including the milky sap, which is highly caustic and can cause severe skin irritation and blistering upon contact. Ingesting any part of the tree, including its sweet apple-like fruit, can lead to intense burning sensations, vomiting, and even death. Standing near a Manchineel tree during rain can be hazardous due to a phenomenon known as “Manchineel rain.” The rainwater dripping from the tree can cause skin irritation, burns, and blistering upon contact, and inhaling the vapor from the sap can lead to respiratory irritation.

Glow in the dark mushrooms

Bioluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) fungi, possess the ability to emit light. These mushrooms achieve bioluminescence through a chemical reaction, which produces light without generating heat. Typically found on decaying wood or in leaf litter, bioluminescent mushrooms glow with a soft, eerie light, often in shades of green or blue. While the exact purpose of their bioluminescence is not fully understood, it’s believed to attract insects that aid in spore dispersal, or possibly to deter predators. Whatever the reason, humans tend to like it too, so thanks to scientists, you can now even buy flowers that have this ability.

Carnivorous Plants

While most people only think of plants getting energy from photosynthesis (the sun) there are actually many ways a plant might get energy; one of which includes protein. Several species of carnivorous(protein eating) plants have evolved to obtain nutrients from insects and other small animals.

Venus Flytraps. Perhaps the most iconic carnivorous plant, the Venus flytrap captures insects with specialized leaves that snap shut when triggered by tiny hairs. Once closed, the plant secretes enzymes to digest the prey and absorb the nutrients, including proteins, released during digestion.

Pitcher plants have modified leaves that form deep, pitcher-shaped structures filled with digestive fluids. Insects are attracted to the nectar or coloration of the pitcher, fall into the fluid, and are digested by enzymes produced by the plant.

Sundews have glandular hairs on their leaves that secrete a sticky substance resembling dewdrops. Insects become trapped in the sticky secretion, which then covers and digests them, providing the plant with essential nutrients, including proteins.

Bladderworts are aquatic or semi-aquatic plants with small bladder-like structures that suck in tiny aquatic organisms, such as protozoa and small crustaceans, through suction traps. Once captured, the prey is digested, and the plant absorbs the nutrients.

Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of the Venus Flytrap is that it is a plant that can count. It takes a lot of energy for a flytrap to move, so to ensure the chances that it will catch pray, it waits and counts the time until another hair is touched. For example, if on hair is touched and another is not, something may have just brushed by it, and is not worth the trap closing. However, if more hairs are touched within several seconds, it will close.

The Plant That Can See

Boquila trifoliolata is a plant that likes to mimic the appearance of other plants. It was once thought that it did so by scent or touch, but after experiments using a fake plant it could not reach, Boquila trifoliolata still managed to mimic the fake plant.

The Plant That Lights Itself On Fire

While Cistus plants are renowned for their beauty and resilience, some species possess a remarkable and somewhat mysterious trait: the ability to spontaneously burst into flames under certain conditions. The combination of the plant’s highly flammable oils and the intense heat can lead to spontaneous combustion, resulting in small fires.

Mind Controlling Fungi

If you watched the TV show or played the game The Last of Us, you may already be familiar with this one. However, just in case, here is a warning that this one does tend to freak people out.

Cordyceps are an eerie fungi that spread by controlling living hosts. When a spore lands on an insect (such as an ant) it will gradually take control of it and encourage it to go to the location the fungai thinks is best. Once it is there, the fungai will grow on the insect then release spores into the forest, infecting more insects.

Plants That Hides and Learns

Mimosa pudica is a plant that will try to protect itself by moving. It’s first defense when something touches it is to fold in leaves against it’s stem. It’s second defense is to “play dead” by having the whole leaf go limp. After a set amount of time, the stem and leaves will return to normal, but perhaps the most interesting thing about them is that it can learn. To keep from wasting energy by moving more than it needs to, it can learn not to close on touches that do not harm it. Where and how it stores information is not yet known.

Both this plant and the venus flytrap can contradict what it means for something to have a brain. That is because if you ask someone what makes something have a brain, they will say something like “the ability to move quickly,” or “the ability to count or learn.”

The Plant that Hunt With Scent

Many plants use the ability to smell in amazing ways, such as how tomato plants that are being attacked by pests will release a scent into the air that warns other plants to create insect repellent. However, instead of using scent to detect or warn of danger, there is a species that uses the ability to smell to hunt down prey. Dodder plants are parasitic plants that steal the energy of other plants, and even in experiments where they hid the victim from view, the dodder was able to find it. It was determined that the dodder finds its prey through scent.

These are just some of the amazing abilities real-life plants can have. I hope this list greatly helps inspire and speed up the crafting of your fantasy plants.

doodled some fun "gardens of time" met gala concepts for vegas vamp, featuring nicky, gianna, and cameron!

(extra long babbling about outfit concepts beneath the cut ⬇️)

so I thought a bullfighting look for nick would be really fun a) because just structurally I was trying to approach this from a "don't draw nicky with his tiddies or stomach out challenge level impossible" direction, trying to avoid the usual silhouettes I default to with him and his fancy clothes, b) bc it's spanish which is very toreador in and of itself, and c) it represents a tradition often gilded and romanticized that many people view as being barbaric and inhumane, which is how nick often feels as a toreador himself!!! the jacket itself is representative of this too, literally roses being delicately held together only with a thin string of pearls and translucent fabric, like the facade of grace and romanticism trying to hide the monstrous truth of being kindred is only barely holding itself together in nick's eyes

gia's was hard bc I was having a hard time picturing her in any kind of florals or traditional "opulence" while still maintaining Her Vibe so I went with "decaying" leather instead, which also was a fun dark wink to both her forensic science background and also her previous stint as a hunter (also..... lesbian. gotta have the shoulders and the underboob out. them's the rules)

whether or not cameron understands the context of the theme and is deliberately going full in-your-face luxury as a message to how much he doesn't care about poor people in an angry mob OR if he just wanted to be sparkly and pretty and ignored the context of the theme completely is up in the air bc it's honestly extremely funny either way. but also I liked the idea of him coming in with something BIG and EXTRAVAGANT and EYE-CATCHING but still chic and cunty and very pop-star bc regardless of the theme EVERYONE is going to be looking at HIM and that is a THREAT. giant statement hand-constructed (he paid for the physical therapy of the hands that constructed it, it's fine) flower coat with a bare midriff and pink leather pants. also visually wanted it to connect to midsommar a little bc I thought using a visual from a frankly haunting horror film as a ~slay~ was very up his alley. ALSO PIXIE BOY HAIR to remind everyone that he is ~just a lil guy~ 🥺

You might be wondering, can your garden benefit from a vernal equinox treatment? The vernal equinox marks the official start of spring, bringing longer days and warmer temperatures. This is the perfect time to give your garden some much-needed care and attention after the harsh winter months. According to The First Day of Spring and the Spring Equinox, taking the time to prepare your garden now can set the stage for a thriving growing season ahead. By performing tasks such as soil preparation, pruning, and planting, you can revive your garden and promote healthy growth for your plants and flowers. So, embrace the vernal equinox as an opportunity to give your garden the care it needs to flourish throughout the spring and beyond.The Science of Seasonal Change Astronomical Events and Plant Behavior For centuries, astronomers and botanists have observed a fascinating connection between astronomical events and plant behavior. From the lengthening of daylight hours to the changing angle of sunlight, plants have evolved to respond to these subtle cues in nature. How the Vernal Equinox Affects Your Garden With the arrival of the vernal equinox, your garden experiences a shift in environmental conditions that can have a significant impact on plant growth and development. The vernal equinox marks the official start of spring, bringing longer days, warmer temperatures, and increased sunlight, all of which are key factors in triggering plant growth. Plus, as the vernal equinox approaches, plants begin to emerge from their winter dormancy and ramp up their metabolic processes to photosynthesize and produce energy for growth. It's a crucial time for your garden, as plants prepare to burst into bloom and produce a bountiful harvest later in the season. However, gardeners should also be aware of potential late frosts that can still occur during this time, which may pose a threat to tender new growth.Preparing Your Garden for the Vernal Equinox Soil Assessment and Amendment Even before the Vernal Equinox arrives, it's important to assess your garden's soil health. Conduct a soil test to determine its pH levels, nutrient content, and drainage. Based on the results, consider amending the soil with organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure to improve its structure and fertility. Choosing the Right Plants for the Season On the brink of the Vernal Equinox, it's crucial to select plants that are well-suited for the upcoming season. Consider factors like the amount of sunlight your garden receives, the local climate conditions, and the plant's water requirements. Opt for drought-resistant and native plants that thrive during the spring months to ensure a successful garden. Understanding the characteristics of each plant and its specific needs is paramount for a flourishing garden. Ensure you choose plants that are compatible with your garden's soil type and moisture levels. Selecting pest-resistant and disease-resistant varieties can help maintain a healthy garden ecosystem.Vernal Equinox Treatment Techniques Pruning and Plant Care Techniques of pruning and plant care during the vernal equinox are crucial for the health and vitality of your garden. This is the perfect time to remove dead or decaying branches, shape shrubs, and clean up flower beds. Pruning encourages new growth and promotes stronger, healthier plants as they enter the growing season. Remember to also check for any signs of pests or diseases and take appropriate action to prevent any potential issues from spreading. Fertilization and Watering Strategies For optimal growth and blossoming during the vernal equinox, it's crucial to implement fertilization and watering strategies that support your plants' needs. This includes providing the right balance of nutrients through organic or chemical fertilizers, as well as ensuring that your plants receive adequate water without becoming waterlogged. Over-fertilization can harm plants, so it's important to follow recommended guidelines and monitor the health of your garden regularly.

This time of year sets the foundation for your garden's success throughout the growing season. Proper fertilization and watering now can lead to bountiful harvests of fruits and vegetables, as well as vibrant, colorful blooms in your flower beds. Make sure to tailor your approach to the specific needs of each type of plant in your garden for the best results.Monitoring Garden Health Post-Treatment After applying a vernal equinox treatment to your garden, it is crucial to monitor the health and progress of your plants to ensure they are thriving. By keeping a close eye on your garden, you can address any issues that may arise and make necessary adjustments to promote optimal growth. Tracking Plant Growth and Development An crucial aspect of monitoring your garden post-treatment is tracking the growth and development of your plants. Keep a record of how each plant is progressing, noting any changes in size, color, or overall health. This will help you identify any issues early on and address them effectively to support the well-being of your garden. Adjusting Garden Care as Seasons Progress One of the key factors in maintaining a healthy garden post-treatment is adjusting your care routine as the seasons progress. With the changing weather and environmental conditions, your plants' needs will vary. Be prepared to adapt your watering, fertilizing, and pruning schedules accordingly to provide the best possible care for your garden throughout the year.Conclusion Hence, it is clear that implementing a vernal equinox treatment in your garden can have numerous benefits for your plants and overall garden health. This practice aligns with nature's rhythms and can enhance your gardening efforts.

The guardians of the Pharaoh

The return of the Seal

I don’t own Yugioh or it's characters

I'm having some trouble with the next chapter but it'll be up soon.

Interlude of a time gone by

A soft breeze blew over the calm sea, gentle waves crashing into the coast line, washing the massive stone cliffs with splashes, leaving behind wet stains in the rock. The ocean had remained mostly still, no raging storms, no violent waves…not even a single whirl pool had formed for several centuries…even the lands were peaceful…but also silent…no songs on the winds, no laughter or rejoicing, just an eerie stillness, as if the life was slowly fading from this once colourful and luscious world…

The monsters and creatures were fewer and isolated themselves with their own kind just as they had many years ago before the goddesses had come into existence, too afraid to interact with each other as there was no longer anyone to keep the peace should a aggression and disputes break out…It was if hope was slowly dying and there was none strong enough to restore what was once a great power…

Far from the main island stood a small island with 3 large white stones…the ground covered in dead flowers, large blue gems scattered, covered in dust and sand as no one had been there to clean and tend to them for hundreds of years…candles lay amongst them, their flames long since extinguished…remaining like this, a forgotten memorial for those that left this world millennia ago…

However today something strange occurred…the 3 stones started to glow, blue symbols forming along the rock as beams of energy shot into the sky, a swirling vortex of white and blue forming in the sky…and from it came the 3 dragons that had disappeared…gliding through the sky as they searched for the one that had remained behind…a hope and joy to see her again…her mother, father and her beloved…

But they didn’t not recognise this world, so much had changed…the landscapes had altered…the once great mountain peaks that pierced the skies that had been their temporary homes were flattered with new ones having grown from the lush valleys that were once covered in tall trees and thick forests…the rivers and lakes were gone, replaced with villages and farms…new sources of water flowing along the new landscapes…the valley of shadows and darkness had gone well dark…no signs of life as the flames that had been alight had gone out…nothing more than a barren waist land…

The kingdoms in the sky were quiet too…its inhabitants long since gone…having found greener pastures as some might say and new homes…even the ocean was still…its once lush and colourful reefs were cold and decaying…the creatures that lived with in the waters hiding away in caves and deep canyons and trenches that lay hidden beneath the blue waves…their once prosperous and lively kingdoms of the sea now nothing more that rubble…

What had happened here? This wasn’t the home they were expecting to return to…sure there was the peace that was promised and the fiends that had hunted them seemed to be gone but…it was as if the life was being drained from this place…like something was missing…like a garden that had been left abandoned by its keeper, left to become overgrown with weeds and insects to devour the flowers that had once brought beauty and life to the grounds…

It seemed almost hopeless. Hikaru, his wife Ami and their son Tsuki searched far and wide, traveling to the furthest reaches of this world to find the one that they had been longing to reunite with for so many years…

The world they had escaped to was tranquil and safe, albeit a bit small. The creatures there the same as the ones in their home world, although strangely enough they seemed to be encased small stone like structures that needed to be touched to release them. How strange…

They hadn’t run into much trouble while living there except for a handful of other dragons that sought out to devour the humans that lived in the area…but the monsters were no much for the white dragons whose power was far greater than anything in this universe…the humans were grateful for these 3 dragons and grew to worship them, building shrines and monuments in their honour…

But as intriguing and wonderful as this place was, it was not their home. They would eventually return home once Serena had brought peace to the land…but the days turned to weeks…to months…to years…and yet there was no indication or sign of their last family member bringing them home…Tsuki become sullen as the years past, isolating himself as he would sit on the shores and watch the sea, his mind on his mate, the woman he loved who he longed to reunite with…to hold her once more, to feel her heart beating beside his…to have his soul be whole again…to know peace and to build a home for the two of them, lay down beside her as they watched the night sky…for watch the sun rising over the horizon, to feel its warmth as it slowly enveloped the land in its warm glow…for all he felt now was cold and despair, his once shining scales now pale and bleak, his eyes no longer a glimmering blue but a dull grey…

He had given up hunting and would starve himself for days till his parents would convince him to eat, telling him that they would be with their loved one again someday…

It was as if he was losing faith…being separated from her was becoming too much…he longed for the star that danced with the moon that was his spirit…they had been inseparable since the day he had hatched…his mother had told them that Hikaru had found her as an infant, floating along the river in a melting basket woven with ice…her skin was pale and it appeared as if she was on deaths door as there was barely a breath on her blue lips…the male dragon would’ve left her there, to die alone in the cold waters as there was no hope in her little frail body…

But for a moment her eyes had opened and Hikaru had seen the orbs of sapphire that was the new-borns eyes, he saw a soul that was fighting to live, a spirit that wanted to live…a being that wanted to sore and grow into a vibrant being that strived for greatness…he had lifted her from the basket, holding her close to his chest as he peered down at this tiny child…resting two fingers over her unmoving chest, amazed to find the little heart that was still beating with life…he knew in that moment that this little girl deserved a chance at life and that he and his wife would be the ones to give her that chance…

Ami had told her son how Hikaru had returned to their nest high in the mountains, nestled between the jagged peaks, hidden deep within a cave, out of reach from those that hunted them…he had shown Ami the infant he had found…the little girl that appeared dead but was brimming with life…

The white haired woman had been in her dragon form, curled around her single egg, a miracle that she had laid…a hope for their kind that had remained still and unmoving for a long time with no sign of hatching…

It had been several days since the egg was due to hatch, the female dragon growing worried with each passing day and night as she would nuzzle and warm the oval shell that incubated her child…praying for the day that he would break free and greet them…

On this clouded night she looked at the infant her mate presented to her, a look in his eyes that she had not seen since the day she had delivered the egg that encapsulated their child…she say a spark of hope…the warmth of someone who desired to help bring life into the world…

She had been hesitant as she was over protective of her little one that was being stubborn…or rather finding it hard to break free…but as she gazed at the little girl, a thought came to mind as she slowly uncurled her tail, moving a little to reveal the watermelon sized egg…its pale white and blue shell a stark contrast to her shimmering scales…she nudged her beloved with her tail to lay the infant beside the egg, wishing to warm the seemingly froze new-born…a smile came to Hikaru’s face as he stepped forward and carefully placed the little girl beside the egg, making sure she was snuggled up close against the warm incubator that Ami had been laying over just moments ago…

Hikaru had described how nothing had occurred for a long moment…how the smile had left his face as nothing had happened…until he saw the little girls hand that had been curled in a fist since the moment he found her slowly open, her pudgy fingers shaking as they reached towards the hard shell she was lying against, resting her palm against it before going still again…for a few seconds nothing happened before the area beneath her hand started to glow…the clouds outside parting as blue moon that circled the in the night sky peered through, its light shining into the cave...one of its brilliant rays rolling over the egg…the silhouette of a little baby boy came into view…his hand pressed against the part of the shell where the little girls was…

Hikaru and Ami watched with baited breath as the silhouette started to shift to that of a tiny dragon, moving around with its confinement at it claws at the inner walls of the egg before piercing through the shell…its tiny claws sticking out as it tries to escape. Hikaru had a small smile on his face, Ami gazing at her little one as he slowly enters this world, the top of the egg cracking open as his head peaks out…his dull blue eyes slowly becoming brighter as his vision clears, glimpsing up at his mother as a soft chirp leaves his lips.

The female dragon was overcome with joy and an overwhelming rush of emotions as she leans down, gently nuzzling the top of her hatchlings head with her snout, a deep rumbling leaves her chest as she purrs softly, relieved that her little one has finally hatched.

And what of the little girl?

The little dragon, keeps looking around as a sense of curiosity flows through him, so many new sights and smells fill his senses, new sounds that he had never heard before, so crisp and clear. One in particular caught his attention. He slowly crawled out of egg, his mother slowly cleaning him as he tries to find his footing, flapping his weak little wings as he looks around for the sound he had heard…his eyes landing on the other infant in the nest. He tilts his head to the side as he moves closer, listening to the soft whimpers coming from the other child…following some kind of instinct, he nuzzles the little girls cheek, softly chirping as he leaves little licks over her skin…she starts to wiggle around, her arms moving to her face to wipe away the slobber on her face. Her eyes fully opening for the first time, gazing up at the little dragon that was staring back at her with wonder in its eyes, his tail slowly starting to wiggle back and forth as he is filled with excitement, pouncing on the little girl and covering her in licks and nuzzles, the infant squirming as the sweetest sound fills the air, her soft giggles as a smile forms on her round face.

Ami slowly shifts into her human form, her beloved sitting beside her as they each trying to pick up one of the babies but the baby dragon refused to leave his new sibling. Shaking her head Ami smiled, picking them both up in her arms, holding them close as her son slowly shifts into his human form…snuggling into her chest as she started to nurse both of the little ones, their eyes slowly closing as they fell into deep sleep once their bellies were filled.

Ami and Hikaru had made the decision to raise the child they had found along with their son, naming him Tsuki after the blue moon he was born under, and the girl Serena…

Tsuki had always loved hearing that story, a tale of the bond he had shared since birth with the woman that he had grown to love…which is why it hurt his soul so much when he thought of her…

Ami and Hikaru couldn’t bear to see their son suffer any longer and made the choice to return to their home world, in hopes of seeing their loved one again and save their son from fading away.

But there was no sign of her, as if she had disappeared from the monster world without a trace…or worse she had perished…but they did not give up hope…

One day while traversing a busy market Ami came across a seamstress with a strange tapestry hanging by her stall, one depicting the 3 goddesses that had once roamed this place…including the daughter Ami and Hikaru were searching for. She approached the woman who was currently working on a robe, her hair grey and her skin wrinkled with age but her fingers worked with the seed and energy of youth. The white haired woman cleared her throat softly, “I’m sorry to bother but where did you get this?” she indicates to the tapestry. The seamstress gazed up at eh beautiful pale woman, a soft smile on her face, “That my dear has been in my family for generations…a legends from eons ago of the 3 goddess that once lived here.” Ami nodded as she ran her fingers over the stitching that depicted her child, “Do you know what happened to them?”

The seamstress shrugged as she turned her attention back to the robe in her hands, “No one really knows…they just vanished one day after they saved another world from a great beast…some say that the sisters of darkness and light were the only ones to return…vanishing some time later after discovering that the siren had remained behind…” the white haired woman felt her heart drop hearing this, she wasn’t here anymore…she hadn’t been for years…come to think of it how long had they been away? It couldn’t have been that long, had only been in that other word for 10 years…

“How long ago did this occur?” she asks, fearing the answer but needing to hear it. The old woman looks at her strangely before thinking, setting down the robe and counting on her fingers, “I believe it’s been 5000 years my dear….why do you ask?” Ami went pale, 5000 years?! How could that even be possible?! Did time move differently in that world?

She swallowed the lump in her throat, “And pray tell…how long ago did the war with the dark magicians end?” the seamstress tilts her head slightly, “That’s ancient history my dear…the only ones who remembers those times were the goddesses…the only ones who lived for that long…” she gets up and heads to the back of her little stall and opens an old trunk, searching through the old parchments and books, “However you are lucky. My ancestor used to be one of lady Clarity’s dearest friends…” she pulls out an old red book, the brown cover faded with time, the corners curling and the papers yellow. She walks over to Ami and holds it out to the white haired woman, “The queen of the sky was fond of stories and would tell ones of her past. Everything from the great wars to the shifting of the lands to the disappearance of the great white dragons…”

Ami stares at the book for a moment, shaking her head, “I can’t take this…” the woman takes her hand, gently handing it to the other, “I do not need it my dear…and I can tell by the look in your eyes that you have been seeking answers for a long time…” she steps back and takes a seat, getting back to work on the robe.

Ami looks down at the book in her hand before gently hugging it to her chest, “I cannot thank you enough for this.” the old woman smiles softly, “No need to thank me dear. May it give you peace…”

Ami walks through the woods towards the alcove where she and her family had set up a temporary camp while they searched the area. She had read through several pages of the book she had been given, her heart sinking with every passage she reads…it would seem that the goddesses of dark and light where the children of Lord Yomi…that Rozu had devoured him after losing her two children…and that she had destroyed every last one of her father’s followers, leaving only those who devoted their loyalty to her…the land endured thousands of years of peace…

Thousands of years of peace…thousands…5000 years as one page indicated…

She stopped walking as she looked up from the book…they had been gone for 10 000 years…no wonder the world looked so different. It had been several Millennia…why hadn’t Serena come to find them? There had to be a reason why she kept them away…she just wished she knew why…

She soon reached their camp site; it was situated beside a small lake where they could catch fish, vegetation with plenty of plants and herbs to harvest and a small cave to keep themselves warm and dry during storms. Hikaru was busy roasting piranha chicken fish he had caught while Tsuki was sitting by the water staring off into the distance. Ami walked over to her son, resting her hand on his shoulder, squeezing softly as he turned his head to look up at her, “How are you doing?” he gave her a small sad smile, “I’m ok…” she ruffles his hair before heading over to her beloved, giving him a kiss, “How is he…really?”

Hikaru picked up one of the fish, checking to see if it was fully cooked before glancing over at Tsuki who was once again staring into the distance, “This is the first he has spoken since waking up…hasn’t even eaten yet…” he takes a bite of one of the fish, “Did you find anything?” she nods as she sits down beside him, showing him the book…taking her time to explain what she had learned and the horrible truth of their predicament…speaking softly as she didn’t want her son to hear that his mate had abandoned them for 5000 years and that she had been missing for another few millennia…

Hikaru sighed as he rubbed his forehead, “What are we gonna do?” Ami shrugged her shoulders as she flipped through a few more pages, “We still need to find her…she’s our child…” she glanced over at her son who still hadn’t moved from his spot, “I fear for his life…when my father was killed by Yomi my mother faded away into nothing…her body turning to dust while her spirit searched for the other half of her soul…” tears formed in her eyes, “I don’t wish to see that happen to our son…” Hikaru wrapped his arm around her, holding her close “Is there any other clues?”

Ami wiped the tears from her face as she looked down at the book, seeing a sketch of a castle, a description beneath it stating that it was the home of Clarity, one of the goddesses…perhaps there was some clues there…

The following day the 3 dragons took to the skies and flew over the lands, finding the abandoned castle. They transformed back into their human forms and searched, coming across the encased crystal dragons, the murals above them and not much else except dust and cobwebs. It seemed to be a dead end till they reached the courtyard, now overgrown with weeds and long grass, the sculptures cracked and crumbling and the fountains long since dry a and destroyed…

Ami sat down while Hikaru and Tsuki searched the rest of the garden, the youngest dragon needing to take a seat to rest, his father staying by his side…the woman looked around the over grown place before looking down at the book once again, searching for anything…until she found a page mentioning the portal they had gone through to get to the other world…this seemed promising. From the looks of the sketch on the page, the remains of the portal were in a garden, carved into the ground…

She got up and started searching for any signs of it…spending a while before growing frustrated as she shifted into her dragon form and blasting he overgrown vegetation, burning it down as Hikaru quickly moving out of the way with Tsuki. Ami slowly turned back, looking at the marks carved into the stone below, a renewed sense of hope as her mate approached her, “What was that all about?” a big smile forms on her face as she searches the book for any information on how to activate it, “A way to find our daughter. This is the portal they used all those years ago to reach that universe.”

However nothing was mentioned in the book…but they figured it needed a lot of power to activate it just like the portal they had gone through all those years ago…so Hikaru and Ami raised their hands and blasted the markings with streams of their white lightning power…the symbols slowly glowing as a swirling portal opens…the parents smiled and stopped their attack but that caused the portal to slowly close.

Hikaru sighed, “It needs constant fuel it seems…we need to make another plan…we can‘t both keep it open and escape through it at the same time…and I doubt one of us has enough power to keep it open by ourselves…perhaps if we…”

“Let me go through…”

Both parents looked at their son, their eyes wide at what he was suggesting. Ami shook her head, “You can’t. We have no idea what is waiting on the other side and you don’t have enough strength to survive…”

“We will find another way son.” Hikaru rests his hand on his mates shoulder as he tried to reassure Tsuki but the boy shakes his head, “I has to be me…I am the only one that would be able to find her…my soul will guide me to hers…” he spoke softly as he took a step forward, he wanted to do this, he needed to do this…he had longed to be with his other half for so long and just the thought of seeing her once more had given his spirit a glimmer of hope and strength…

Ami still was uncertain, “No. I will not allow you to go on your own. We have lost one child and I will not lose another one!” she shouted as tears formed in her eyes…she was afraid of losing her another part of her family, her little moon…the boy smiled sadly as he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly, “It’ll be ok mom…this won’t be forever…I will return to you with Serena at my side…we will be whole again…we will build the home we’ve dreamed of for years and finally live in peace…” the woman trembled as she held her boy close, gripping his white robe as she sobbed.

She didn’t want to let him leave, she feared for his life. He was already so frail and weak; would he even make the trip to the other side? What if he died before he even reached that world? She didn’t want to risk it but…

Hikaru gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze, the woman looking at him as tears streamed down her cheeks, “We need to let him go…” she didn’t want to hear this but deep down in her heart was telling her that this would be the right choice much as she hated it…

She looked at her sons face and stroked his cheek, “You come home alright. You promise me you will return home.” Tsuki nods as he leans into her touch, “I promise mom…” he hugged her tightly, Hikaru wrapping his arms around both of them, a single tear running down his cheek…having faith in the future and his family, no matter how much it hurt to say goodbye…

They eventual separate and the parents step back, letting their power flow back into the markings, re-awakening the portal. They looked back at their son one last time...seeing the gentle smile on his face before he stepped forward and falling into the glowing vortex…his eyes closing as he travelled through a tunnel of vibrant colours and light…his body slowly fading away until only his soul remained as he arrived in the world his beloved had been lost to…

For eons he remained nothing more than a lost soul, forever searching for his other half…like the sun that chases the moon…the moon following the stars…the rain that came from the clouds…the rivers that flowed to the sea…forever seeking to become complete again…remaining alone for thousands of years…until one day he felt it…the spark…the breath of his beloved once again in this new world…its cries calling out for him…wishing to be close to him again…

It was late one evening…the sky filled with clouds…a woman was in the hospital, her husband beside her as she was currently in labour, giving birth to her first child…

Elsewhere in the city in a rundown orphanage…laying in a crib a little baby girl was standing against the railing, staring out the window as she cooed softly, her bright blue eyes looking with wonder…something hummed deep within her heart, calling out for something or rather someone as her eyes started to glow faintly…

The woman’s head falls back as she screams in pain…

The toddler reaching out for the window…the clouds slowly shifting to reveal a rare blue moon in the sky…

The light of the moon shining in through the hospital window, temporarily blinding everyone inside…the nurse delivering a small baby boy with brown hair and blue eyes, his wails echoing through the room as the nurse hands him over to his mother, a smile on her face as she rocks him gently, in awe of her little baby…her husband at her side as he is tearing up, stroking the new-borns head…none of them seeing the small spark in his eyes…the lost soul finally reawakened…the boy’s parents naming him Seto…

Stump grinding is an essential service for homeowners and property managers who need to remove tree stumps efficiently and safely. Unlike traditional methods that involve digging out the stump and roots, stump grinding employs a powerful machine to grind the stump into small wood chips, leaving the area ready for replanting or landscaping.

The process begins with assessing the stump and its surroundings. Professional stump grinders evaluate the size, type of wood, and proximity to structures or underground utilities. This assessment ensures the grinding process is both effective and safe. Once the area is deemed clear, the stump grinder—a machine equipped with a rotating cutting disk with sharp teeth—grinds the stump down to below ground level. Get more info.

Stump grinding offers several benefits. Firstly, it is much quicker than manual removal, which can be labor-intensive and time-consuming. A typical stump can be ground down in a matter of hours, depending on its size and hardness. Secondly, grinding is environmentally friendly. The wood chips produced can be repurposed as mulch, which helps retain soil moisture and reduce weeds in gardens. Additionally, stump grinding prevents the regrowth of trees from the remaining roots and eliminates the potential for pests and diseases that can inhabit decaying stumps.

Moreover, stump grinding improves the aesthetics and safety of a property. Leftover stumps can be unsightly and take up valuable space in gardens or lawns. They also pose tripping hazards and can interfere with lawn maintenance, making mowing more difficult and damaging equipment. By grinding down the stump, the area becomes more uniform and usable for other landscaping projects. https://www.google.com/maps?cid=5230268347574751323

Choosing professional stump grinding services ensures the job is done efficiently and correctly. Professionals have the necessary equipment and expertise to handle various stump types and sizes, ensuring that the remaining ground is level and free of hazards. They also handle any clean-up, leaving your property neat and ready for your next project.

In conclusion, stump grinding is a practical, efficient, and eco-friendly method for stump removal, enhancing both the functionality and appearance of your landscape.

Stump Grinding Versus Traditional Stump Removal

Stump Grinding Versus Traditional Stump Removal https://ift.tt/shtH8nG Whether you have lost a tree to storm damage or removed it yourself, the resulting stump can be unsightly and difficult to deal with. Aside from detracting from the beauty of your property, it can also become a tripping hazard for kids and pets and attract pests and diseases to your yard and garden. It can even suffocate other plants and encourage the growth of invasive fungi that can spread to your home. While it is tempting to simply leave the stump and root system where they are, this is not a good idea. The roots will continue to grow and eventually reach other areas of your landscape and home, including cracking driveways and patios and wrapping around and causing damage to pipes. It is also a breeding ground for insects and the ideal spot for wood-boring ants and termites to set up shop, causing further damage to your home and garden. Traditional stump removal involves digging out the entire stump and its extensive root system using heavy machinery, leaving behind a hole in your garden or lawn. It is not only time-consuming but can be costly, especially when the soil needs to be replaced with fresh, healthy earth to reduce leaching of harmful chemicals from the stump into the surrounding environment. Plus, it can be hard to do without damaging your landscaping and creating a huge mess of wood chips and debris that must be hauled away. Stump Grinding is a quicker, more cost-effective, and less destructive option for dealing with unwanted tree stumps. With a stump grinder, professionals cut down the remaining stump to below ground level and grind it into small pieces that can be mulched or left to rot. This is a much more environmentally-friendly and safe method for removing a tree stump, as it doesn’t require the use of chemical solutions and sucks up the decaying stump and roots into a pile that can be removed or burned. In addition, stump grinding leaves a much more open space in your garden or lawn, which can be used for border plantings, a raised flower bed, a gazebo, or a new replacement tree. It can also be filled with mulch to restore the acidity of the soil, which is important for maintaining a healthy, flourishing garden. It can also be covered with a trellis to give the area structure and privacy, or used as a spot for an outdoor seating area or dining table. The options are truly endless.

It is not only we humans who understand the use of medicine. You know friends, even a tree understands that it is dominated by some unwanted life. And that tree decides its own way of saving itself. I have already said that I can be a scientist but not a creator. Yes, but my doll Sneha is definitely a creator. You know friends, at the time of my marriage, my wife had grown aloe vera plants on the terrace. Attracted by this, my mother also grew some flower plants. My mother has passed away and my wife is busy in medicine. I and my doll Sneha live at home. It is about one and a half years ago. Sneha had made a laboratory like thing on the terrace regarding trees. I help her a lot. One day I saw some white spots on a red Jawa flower tree. It looked like an ant house was built there. I had told Sneha. But what Sneha did did not enter my mind. My doll did not explain anything to me. It must be so

A small branch was uprooted from a little above and buried in the soil

It is a matter of surprise

Another red jawa flower tree started growing

Along with that the spot on the tree also got cured

When I asked, she told me that trees also take care of their damaged body parts

I asked how

Then my doll Sneha answered me

This garden of ours is the creation of my mother's aloe vera

So all the trees and plants are safe here

Where there is life, there must be viruses too, that is why there must be pain

The plant also cures itself and aloe vera also supports it a lot

So it is easy to make another plant and along with that the plant's pain also goes away

I understood that my Sneha is also a creator, that is why she has also made this laboratory

Can a tree cure itself?

The tree possesses the ability to cure itself. Leaves sprout from the wounded bark of a tree when it is hacked or chopped. Curled green twigs grow from the ground floor. Miniature boughs re-expand to their original height.

How do trees "heal" after they have been wounded?

Extension Foundation

How do trees "heal" after they have been wounded?

Trees and woody plants don’t heal. A healed wound has had the tissue repaired or replaced, which would be evidenced by a scab or scar on skin. Trees are not capable of replacing or repairing damaged tissue, but instead, they attempt to “seal” off damaged tissue from the healthy, live tissue.

“Compartmentalization of Decay in Trees” (CODIT) is the process a tree or other woody plant employs to seal or “wall off” wounded tissue in an effort to reduce the risk of decay or disease from spreading to healthy tissue. A  good arborist will tell you, “Trees don’t heal. They seal.”  – Alex Shigo

दवाई का इस्तेमाल सिर्फ हम इंसान ही समझते है ऐसा नहीं

आपको पता है दोस्तों एक पेड़ भी समझ जाते है उसपर हावी है कुछ अनचाही जीवन

और वो पेड़ खुद अपना बचाओं तरीका अपने से ही निर्णय लेते है

मैंनें पहले ही बोला हूँ मैं सायन्टिष्ट हो सकता हूँ मगर क्रिएटर नहीं

हाँ मगर मेरी गुड़िया स्नेहा जरूर एक क्रिएटर है

आपको तो पता ही है दोस्तों मेरी शादी के समय ही मेरी बीवी टेरेस में एलोवेरा की पौधों ऊगाए थे

जिस पर आकृष्ट होकर मेरी माँ भी कुछ फूल की पड़ ऊगा गए

मँ गुजर चुके बीवी डाँक्टरी में बीजी है

मैं और मेरी गुडिया स्नेहा घर में रहते है

डेढ़ साल पहले की बात है

टेरेस में स्नेहा एक लेबोरेटरी सा बना लिए थे पेड़ो को लेकर

मै साथ देता हूँ बहत

एकदिन मैं देखा था एक लाल जवा फूल का पेड़ में कुछ सफेद धब्बे निकल आए

जहां चीटियां का घर जैसा बना हुआ लग रहा था

मैं स्नेहा को बोला था

तो स्नेहा ने जो किया मेरी दीमाग में घूसा नहीं

मुझे मेरी गुड़िया समझाया कुछ नहीं होगा 

थोड़ा ऊपर की ओर से एक छोटा सा डाली उखड़कर मिट्टी में गार दिया

ताज्जुब की बात है

एक और लाल जवा फूल का पेड़ ऊगने लगा

साथ में वो धब्बे वाली पेड़ का धब्बा भी गूल हो गया

मैंने पुछा तो मुझे बोला पेड़ भी बिगडा हुआ अंग को अपने से परिचर्जा करते है

मैंने पुछा कैसे

तो मेरी गुड़िया स्नेहा मुझे उत्तर दिया

हमारा यह बाग मेरी माँ का एलोवेरा का सृष्टि है

तो सारे पेड़ पौधा यहां वैसे ही सुरक्षित है

जहां जीवन है वहां विजाणु भी होगा इसलिए तकलीफ होता होगा

पौधा खुद की इलाज भी करता है और एलोवेरा साथ भी बहुत देता है

इसलिए एक और पौधा बनना भी आसान है साथ साथ पौधा की तकलीफ भी भाग जाता है

मैं समझ गया मेरी स्नेहा क्रिएटर भी है इसलिए यह लेबोरेटरी भी बनाया है

क्या पेड़ अपना इलाज कर सकता है

पेड़ में खुद को ठीक करने की क्षमता होती है। जब पेड़ को काटा या काटा जाता है तो उसकी घायल छाल से पत्तियाँ उग आती हैं। मुड़ी हुई हरी टहनियाँ ज़मीन से उगती हैं। छोटी शाखाएँ अपनी मूल ऊँचाई पर फिर से फैल जाती हैं।

पेड़ घायल होने के बाद कैसे "ठीक" होते हैं?

पेड़ घायल होने के बाद कैसे "ठीक" होते हैं?

पेड़ और लकड़ी के पौधे ठीक नहीं होते। ठीक हुए घाव में ऊतक की मरम्मत या प्रतिस्थापन किया जाता है, जिसका सबूत त्वचा पर पपड़ी या निशान होता है। पेड़ क्षतिग्रस्त ऊतक को बदलने या मरम्मत करने में सक्षम नहीं हैं, बल्कि इसके बजाय, वे स्वस्थ, जीवित ऊतक से क्षतिग्रस्त ऊतक को "सील" करने का प्रयास करते हैं।

“पेड़ों में क्षय का कम्पार्टमेंटलाइज़ेशन” (CODIT) वह प्रक्रिया है जिसका उपयोग पेड़ या अन्य लकड़ी के पौधे घायल ऊतक को सील करने या “दीवार बंद करने” के लिए करते हैं ताकि क्षय या बीमारी के स्वस्थ ऊतक में फैलने के जोखिम को कम किया जा सके। एक अच्छा आर्बोरिस्ट आपको बताएगा, “पेड़ ठीक नहीं होते। वे सील करते हैं।” - एलेक्स शिगो

Nurturing Your Indoor Garden: The Ultimate Guide to Indoor Plant Fertilizers

In recent years, the popularity of indoor plants has skyrocketed, with many people transforming their homes into lush green sanctuaries. Indoor plants not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space but also improve air quality and contribute to a sense of well-being. However, to keep these plants thriving, it’s essential to provide them with the right nutrients. This is where indoor plant fertilizers come into play. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of fertilizing indoor plants and introduce some fantastic products from Karudaa Coirs, including the Flower Booster Kit, Fish Amino Acid, Goat Manure, L5, and the Grow Your Vegetables Kit.

Why Indoor Plants Need Fertilizers

Indoor plants, unlike their outdoor counterparts, are limited in their access to natural nutrients. In a garden, plants can derive nutrients from the soil, rain, and decaying organic matter. However, indoor plants rely solely on the soil in their pots, which can become depleted over time. This makes it crucial to supplement their nutrition through fertilizers. Proper fertilization ensures healthy growth, vibrant foliage, and bountiful blooms.

The Basics of Indoor Plant Fertilizers

Indoor plant fertilizers come in various forms, including liquid, granular, and slow-release. They contain essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, along with trace elements like iron, magnesium, and calcium. These nutrients play vital roles in plant growth, from promoting leaf development to enhancing root strength.

Choosing the Right Fertilizer

The type of fertilizer you choose depends on the specific needs of your plants. Some plants require a balanced formula, while others may need a nutrient boost during certain growth stages. It’s also important to consider the type of plants you have — succulents, flowering plants, and leafy greens all have different nutritional requirements.

Karudaa Coirs: Your Go-To for Quality Plant Fertilizers

Karudaa Coirs is renowned for its high-quality, organic products designed to promote healthy plant growth. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, Karudaa Coirs has something for everyone. Let’s delve into some of their top offerings.

It contains a balanced blend of nutrients that support blooming and increase flower size and color intensity. Regular use of this kit ensures that your indoor flowers stay vibrant and healthy throughout the year.

Fish Amino Acid

Fish Amino Acid is a fantastic organic fertilizer that provides plants with a rich source of nitrogen. Nitrogen is crucial for promoting lush, green foliage. This fertilizer is made from fermented fish waste, making it an eco-friendly and sustainable option. In addition to nitrogen, Fish Amino Acid also contains amino acids, which help plants absorb nutrients more efficiently. It’s an excellent choice for leafy green plants like ferns, pothos, and monsteras.

Goat Manure

Another great product from Karudaa Coirs is Goat Manure. This organic fertilizer is rich in essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Goat manure is an excellent soil conditioner that improves soil structure and water retention. It’s perfect for a wide range of indoor plants, including vegetables and flowering plants. Plus, it’s a great option for gardeners looking for a sustainable and eco-friendly fertilizer.

L5

The L5 fertilizer from Karudaa Coirs is a versatile, all-purpose fertilizer suitable for a variety of indoor plants. It contains a balanced ratio of essential nutrients that support overall plant health. Whether you have succulents, cacti, or tropical plants, L5 can help them thrive. It’s particularly beneficial during the active growing season when plants need an extra nutrient boost.

Grow Your Vegetables Kit

For those looking to grow their own vegetables indoors, the Grow Your Vegetables Kit from Karudaa Coirs is an ideal choice. This kit contains all the necessary nutrients to support the growth of vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. It provides a balanced mix of nutrients that promote strong root development, healthy foliage, and bountiful yields. Growing your own vegetables indoors is not only rewarding but also a great way to ensure you have fresh, organic produce at your fingertips.

From specialized fertilizers to soil conditioners, this line has everything you need to turn your home into a green oasis. The Indoor Sanctuary products are formulated to meet the unique needs of indoor plants, ensuring they receive the right nutrients and care.

Tips for Fertilizing Indoor Plants

Know Your Plants: Different plants have different nutritional needs. Research the specific requirements of your plants to provide the right fertilizer.

Follow Instructions: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct dosage and frequency of application. Over-fertilizing can harm your plants.

Watering: Fertilize when the soil is moist, not dry, to prevent root burn. Water your plants before and after applying fertilizer.

Seasonal Care: Adjust your fertilization routine based on the season. During the growing season, plants may need more frequent feeding, while in the dormant period, they require less.

Observe Your Plants: Pay attention to how your plants respond to fertilization. Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, or lack of blooms may indicate a need for more or less fertilizer.

Conclusion

Fertilizing indoor plants is an essential part of maintaining a thriving indoor garden. With the right products, like those offered by Karudaa Coirs, you can ensure your plants receive the nutrients they need to flourish. Whether you’re boosting blooms with the Flower Booster Kit or nurturing leafy greens with Fish Amino Acid, these fertilizers will help you create a lush, vibrant indoor sanctuary. So, give your plants the care they deserve and enjoy the beauty and benefits of indoor gardening.

Experts in Roof Pressure Cleaning to Safeguard Your Investment

Chemical compounds are not required when using professional roof pressure cleaning services. To blast debris off your roof tiles, just water is required. Pressure washing is more environmentally friendly and healthier for you and your family than other cleaning techniques. There's no need to unplug the tank because there are no chemicals present. Additionally, pressure washing removes the requirement to cover your gardens and flower beds to shield them from soaps and chemical sprays.

Extended Roof Lifespan with Improved Kerb Appeal

Your home roof cleaning is very important when it comes to making a good first impression. A Melbourne roof washer dramatically improves the overall look and increases curb appeal. Cleaning your roof is a terrific place to start, regardless of your plans to sell or just make it seem nicer.

One of the most important parts of the structure of your house is the roof. Because it shields you and your possessions from the weather, its durability is crucial. By halting damage from moss, algae, and debris, routine cleaning may greatly increase the life of your roof.

Why Opt for Melbourne's High-Powered Cleaning Services?

Regular concrete cleaning is necessary since neglecting to do so can cause cracks to emerge and the concrete's surface to degrade. To establish and uphold superior standards for home renovation, you must take into account how clean every part of your house is, even the floors and walls made of concrete.

If you choose to clean it yourself, you'll quickly discover that your efforts fell short of what you had hoped for—a spotlessly clean experience. Furthermore, the amount of time and cash you invest will be significantly more than what you would have paid for an expert's services.

Protecting Structures Through Energy Conservation

This thus raises the temperature within your house, particularly in the sweltering summer months. A cleaner roof, on the other hand, reflects sunlight more efficiently, lowering heat absorption and maintaining a cooler interior.

Debris buildup on your roof might result in water collecting, which can seriously harm the materials that make up your roof. Water that builds up can seep into voids and cracks, causing leaks, decaying wood, and compromised structural integrity.

You might be wondering, can your garden benefit from a vernal equinox treatment? The vernal equinox marks the official start of spring, bringing longer days and warmer temperatures. This is the perfect time to give your garden some much-needed care and attention after the harsh winter months. According to The First Day of Spring and the Spring Equinox, taking the time to prepare your garden now can set the stage for a thriving growing season ahead. By performing tasks such as soil preparation, pruning, and planting, you can revive your garden and promote healthy growth for your plants and flowers. So, embrace the vernal equinox as an opportunity to give your garden the care it needs to flourish throughout the spring and beyond.The Science of Seasonal Change Astronomical Events and Plant Behavior For centuries, astronomers and botanists have observed a fascinating connection between astronomical events and plant behavior. From the lengthening of daylight hours to the changing angle of sunlight, plants have evolved to respond to these subtle cues in nature. How the Vernal Equinox Affects Your Garden With the arrival of the vernal equinox, your garden experiences a shift in environmental conditions that can have a significant impact on plant growth and development. The vernal equinox marks the official start of spring, bringing longer days, warmer temperatures, and increased sunlight, all of which are key factors in triggering plant growth. Plus, as the vernal equinox approaches, plants begin to emerge from their winter dormancy and ramp up their metabolic processes to photosynthesize and produce energy for growth. It's a crucial time for your garden, as plants prepare to burst into bloom and produce a bountiful harvest later in the season. However, gardeners should also be aware of potential late frosts that can still occur during this time, which may pose a threat to tender new growth.Preparing Your Garden for the Vernal Equinox Soil Assessment and Amendment Even before the Vernal Equinox arrives, it's important to assess your garden's soil health. Conduct a soil test to determine its pH levels, nutrient content, and drainage. Based on the results, consider amending the soil with organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure to improve its structure and fertility. Choosing the Right Plants for the Season On the brink of the Vernal Equinox, it's crucial to select plants that are well-suited for the upcoming season. Consider factors like the amount of sunlight your garden receives, the local climate conditions, and the plant's water requirements. Opt for drought-resistant and native plants that thrive during the spring months to ensure a successful garden. Understanding the characteristics of each plant and its specific needs is paramount for a flourishing garden. Ensure you choose plants that are compatible with your garden's soil type and moisture levels. Selecting pest-resistant and disease-resistant varieties can help maintain a healthy garden ecosystem.Vernal Equinox Treatment Techniques Pruning and Plant Care Techniques of pruning and plant care during the vernal equinox are crucial for the health and vitality of your garden. This is the perfect time to remove dead or decaying branches, shape shrubs, and clean up flower beds. Pruning encourages new growth and promotes stronger, healthier plants as they enter the growing season. Remember to also check for any signs of pests or diseases and take appropriate action to prevent any potential issues from spreading. Fertilization and Watering Strategies For optimal growth and blossoming during the vernal equinox, it's crucial to implement fertilization and watering strategies that support your plants' needs. This includes providing the right balance of nutrients through organic or chemical fertilizers, as well as ensuring that your plants receive adequate water without becoming waterlogged. Over-fertilization can harm plants, so it's important to follow recommended guidelines and monitor the health of your garden regularly.

This time of year sets the foundation for your garden's success throughout the growing season. Proper fertilization and watering now can lead to bountiful harvests of fruits and vegetables, as well as vibrant, colorful blooms in your flower beds. Make sure to tailor your approach to the specific needs of each type of plant in your garden for the best results.Monitoring Garden Health Post-Treatment After applying a vernal equinox treatment to your garden, it is crucial to monitor the health and progress of your plants to ensure they are thriving. By keeping a close eye on your garden, you can address any issues that may arise and make necessary adjustments to promote optimal growth. Tracking Plant Growth and Development An crucial aspect of monitoring your garden post-treatment is tracking the growth and development of your plants. Keep a record of how each plant is progressing, noting any changes in size, color, or overall health. This will help you identify any issues early on and address them effectively to support the well-being of your garden. Adjusting Garden Care as Seasons Progress One of the key factors in maintaining a healthy garden post-treatment is adjusting your care routine as the seasons progress. With the changing weather and environmental conditions, your plants' needs will vary. Be prepared to adapt your watering, fertilizing, and pruning schedules accordingly to provide the best possible care for your garden throughout the year.Conclusion Hence, it is clear that implementing a vernal equinox treatment in your garden can have numerous benefits for your plants and overall garden health. This practice aligns with nature's rhythms and can enhance your gardening efforts. For more information on how the vernal equinox can benefit your garden, read the insightful article on Vernal Equinox: The Garden Always Knows.

Why Prune Trees?

Pruning trees is essential for a variety of reasons that contribute to their overall health, safety, and appearance. Here are the primary reasons for pruning trees:

1. Health Maintenance:

Remove Dead or Diseased Branches: Cutting away dead or diseased limbs prevents decay-producing fungi from penetrating and infecting other areas of the tree.

Encourage New Growth: Pruning stimulates the growth of new, healthy branches, improving the tree's vigor.

Prevent Disease Spread: Pruning affected branches helps contain and prevent the spread of disease to other parts of the tree or neighboring trees.

2. Safety:

Eliminate Hazardous Branches: Removing weak or overhanging branches reduces the risk of falling limbs, which can cause injury or property damage, especially during storms.

Clear Obstructions: Pruning branches that interfere with power lines, roadways, or buildings enhances safety for people and infrastructure.

3. Aesthetic Improvement:

Enhance Appearance: Pruning shapes the tree, improving its appearance by removing unsightly or misshapen branches.

Landscape Integration: Well-pruned trees complement the landscape design, contributing to the overall visual appeal of gardens and yards.

4. Structural Strength:

Develop Strong Structure: Pruning young trees helps establish a strong framework, guiding their growth and preventing future structural issues. 

Balance and Form: Removing competing or crossing branches ensures the tree grows in a balanced and structurally sound manner.

6. Improved Air Circulation and Light Penetration:

Reduce Density: Thinning the canopy allows for better air circulation and sunlight penetration, reducing the risk of fungal diseases and promoting healthy undergrowth.

Boost Fruit Production: For fruit-bearing trees, pruning increases light exposure and air circulation, which can enhance fruit quality and yield.

7. Encourage Flowering and Fruiting:

Stimulate Flower Production: Pruning certain species at the right time can encourage more abundant flowering.

Improve Fruit Quality: Removing excess branches directs the tree's energy towards producing higher quality fruits.

By understanding and implementing proper pruning techniques, you can ensure your trees remain healthy, safe, and visually appealing, contributing positively to your landscape and environment.
