Plant nurseries in Chennai!!

Revathi

Thanks so much for this helpful tip. Looks like there are many who can use it right?

Thanks. When you find time do share here what plants you are growing.. would love to hear from you.

 

Hi Anandchitra

All my plants are in pots and since I live in a flat, I have only a balcony for my garden I grow parijatham, Jathi malli, orange rose and some hibiscus- yellow, pink and orange double as permanent flowering plants along with Tulsi, karivepillai, and some bulbs like football lily, amaryllis and rain lily. Winter flowers include different colours of chrysanthemum, dahlia and some annuals like pansy, stock and snapdragon. I shall post some pictures when I have more time.

I was totally lost a couple of years back on how to tackle various problems in plants and grow healthy ones and so I joined the Kitchen Garden Association from where I have learnt quite a lot!! It feels good to meet you all in this forum and discuss all about plants which is my passion! Happy Gardening!!

hi i am absolutely in love wiht the smell and looks of parijatham aka pavazamalli alas i happen to live in a flat. is it absolutely impossible to grow them in pots or is there a different species of them whic could be grown in pots. am i being too greedy

 

Hi Divya

You are not being greedy at all in wanting to grow Parijatham in a pot. In fact, I have a plant which is about 6 feet, in a 14 inch pot, for the last 3 years. Every year at the time of Navarathri, I get a lot of flowers. My plant is full of buds now, ready to bloom in a week or so. I sowed the seeds collected from my plant and now I have another small plant which I have transplanted into a bigger pot last week. Go ahead and fulfill your desire. I shall post a picture of my plant in a day or two. Happy Gardening!

praveen,

did you try the feng shui places. if not, i came across one vijaya nursery in thirumullavoyal who are into these bamboos.

 

Good Morning and thanks for the response.

We've not tried feng shui.

Any ways, I will try the place you were refering and also, we are planning for a search in east cost road. If we are lucky, we will find one, else we'll wait and keep our search on .

Thanks once again for your response. Wish you have a good moments ahead.

Good day to all... finally i've got the bamboo that i was looking for. Its called as Yellow Buddha Belly Bamboo (Bambusa Ventricosa). I found this in Manjari (managed by SPIC) at Koturpuram. It was costing a bit high (1000 rs per pot), but we are happy in getting it for our home.

Thanks for the suggestion and I wish you a nice time ahead.
