Made a home decor with our plants. This was the center piece on our dining table when the Christmas carols troop came to greet us earlier this week.
Plants in the pot - The ZZ plant, or Zamioculcas zamiifolia. This is a low-maintenance houseplant known for its glossy, dark green leaves and resilience. This is an ideal plant for beginners. These are also known as the Zanzibar gem, eternity plant, or emerald palm.
Glad to say that all the plants in this pot was propogated by me in our balcony garden. Propagating these plants needs real patience. It took about 7 months for the plant to come out actually.
Plants in the glass bowl - these are called as Duckweed. They are tiny, fast-growing aquatic plants that float on the water's surface and serve as a natural filter and food source for aquatic life. They are easy to grow and maintain, making them a popular choice for aquariums, ponds, and water gardens. They multiply quickly and spread across the water body. I initially started with 10 plants of these from an online seller and have a good amount of plants now in three containers. This not only gives an evergreen effect to your aquariums but also acts as a natural water filter by absorbing excess nutrients like nitrogen, phosphates, and potassium, which helps prevent algae blooms and keeps the water cleaner and healthier.
