Variation in flower pricing

No Comments
| Uncategorized

There is a lot of variation in the pricing of flowers in a small city, probably because regular vendors are expected to pay a kickback to the officials who are closely monitoring all activities.
A home owner, domain investor observed that the regular vendor was demanding Rs 110 for a pot, another vendor was selling the same flower pot to another customer in the same area for Rs 70 each, however he refused to sell to her.
At an exhibition the same flowers were available for Rs 80 per plant pot.
It clearly indicated that the bribe demanded by officials has become a major factor determining the prices of flower pots in small towns

Expensive online plant supplies

No Comments
| Uncategorized

In small towns it is difficult to find affordable gardening supplies locally and ordering live plants online can be very expensive due to a number of factors like
Transportation cost
Damage to the plant
Packaging required
Unlike non living items like electronic items, clothes, accessories, the plant will have to be watered daily if it is being transported a long distance. So the plant seller will have to take this fact into account while pricing the plant being sold online, as they cannot be sure of how many customers they will be getting

Watering plants on a holiday

No Comments
| Uncategorized

A major problem with growing plants remains that the plant grower has to make arrangements for watering the plant when on a holiday. Most plants if not watered daily will dry up and die, which can be very inconvenient for a person who has spent a lot of time and money collecting these plants from different sources. Earlier neighbours could be asked to water the plant, however in small towns most of the houses are empty, so a person growing many plants cannot afford to go on a long holiday if arrangements are not made.
In the US, there are equipment available which will water the plant when the home owner is away for a week or month, however in relatively undeveloped countries, the equipment is not readily available, though it can be made after making some effort .

Suppliers of automatic watering equipment can send their offer to info@webconcepts.in

High plant prices in small towns

Another problem faced by those who wish to grow plants in goa in their home, kitchen garden or terrace garden is the relatively high price of the plant. For example basil or tulsi plants are the most common plant grown in a majority of hindu households. In Mumbai, the plant can be purchased for Rs 5 or Rs 10 each.
In Goa, a person will have to purchase the plant from the wandering retailers for at least Rs 30 each as there are few retailers stocking these plants. Similarly a marigold plant in Mumbai will cost Rs 40 , while the wandering retailers will charge Rs 70-90 per plant in Goa. These retailers however cannot be blamed because they have to spend a lot of money on expenses, as the plants are imported to the state from Pune.
The forestry department of Goa will sell medicinal plants cheaply at exhibitions for Rs 15 each, however the exhibition will be held only once or twice a year in Panaji, and getting the plants from their nursery can be expensive as they are located in remote areas far from the city.

Not easy to purchase plants locally

No Comments
| Uncategorized

Any person interested in growing plants in their house or garden in goa with a low budget finds it difficult to locate suppliers of the plants as there are relatively few local retailers of different varieties of potted plants and seeds. There are many shops selling pets and pet products like fish, birds and pet supplies, while there are almost no plant retailers in a large area, with only one store in the capital city . In Mumbai, the domain investor observed that plants were available very easily now, with at least 4-5 retailers in an area of 1 km of the house, selling a variety of plants. This is surprising as people have larger houses in Goa and can afford to grow more plants in their house and also spend less time commuting.

The only other source of plants in Goa are the plant vendors who carry their plants in pushcarts from one place to another. However the location of these vendors is not fixed , so those who wish to purchase the plants have to keep looking out for these vendors.

Gardening and your enemies

One of the factors to be considered while gardening is how much your enemies hate you and how much time they are willing to waste to destroy everything you have, especially if they are not likely to be caught for the crime. In Goa, it is observed that the garden on the ground floor of the house of the domain investor, Paypal account holder is being attacked repeatedly, with almost all plants being killed.
While wild plants and weeds like ferns are flourishing almost no plant which has been planted, growing from seeds seems to have survived for long. For example a large number of papaya seeds were planted in a pot, yet not a single papaya seedling has survived in the pot. However a few seedling were growing on the cemented surface flourished for a longer period of time

It appears that the garden has been specifically targetted for arson and damage by powerful officials who take a sadistic pleasure in damaging whatever the domain investor owns

Radiation affecting plant growth

No Comments
| Uncategorized

A domain investor has observed that her plants kept in a garden are not growing, allegedly because high power radiation beams for surveillance are being misused to damage the plants. Not a single plant which kept outside the door was survived, all the plants are drying up and dying. Initially the domain investor thought that it was a problem with the mud in the pot which caused the plant to wither and die, now it has become obvious that radiation is causing damage to the plant.
When the same polybag pot was taken to some other location where the radiation beams could not be focussed intensely, many plants are flourishing in the same mud.
Has anyone else growing plants in their house or garden faced the same problem, that all the plants are withering and dying.
