Mudfingers goes to Prestige Shantiniketan!

What a day! Mudfingers was part of a common exhibition cum sales which was organized for the benefit of residents at Prestige Shantiniketan - Whitefield, Bangalore.

We happened to meet people with varied interests.
Many were drawn towards Mudfingers's multicolored pots with indoor plants which was apt for gifts.
Pots of various shapes like Conch, Birds, Cup-Saucer, Cube etc., enthralled adults and kids alike.

Terrariums - the ultimate Bottle Gardens were a huge hit.
A terrarium is a collection of small plants growing in a transparent, sealed container. Inside a terrarium's walls, many natural processes may be observed: photosynthesis, respiration and the water cycle.
The very concept of presenting plants in a bottle of various shapes makes Terrariums very interesting. A properly maintained terrarium can go for weeks or months without needing water.

Tulasi Brindavan's comes in various sizes and colors. We had samples of these which were designed keeping an apartment balcony in mind. Tulasi (Basil) plants need full sunlight. Place them in an east facing balcony or on terrace.

We had Bonsai's, Table-Top's, Orchids, and various types of Indoor Plants to offer.

Felt happy to hear and talk to plant lovers, address their concerns and just being there.

Thanks friends for your wonderful response and we will be back soon!!

We often get these questions from our customers. Hope this blog will help you quell all those questions! First things first, there is nothing called a truly indoor plant that thrives in complete low, dull, warm indoor light that we usually have in modern homes. Yes, many can survive, but to thrive, they definitely need good bright light and to top it, small glances of Doctor Sun is an absolute bliss. Let me get to the details of the various types of indoor light is usually seen and what plants can thrive there. BRIGHT INDOORS WITH DIRECT LIGHT When we suggest plants that need Sunny window or Bright Indoor light, they need to be placed in a shaded balcony, on window sills or very close to windows that face East or West and get unfiltered light direct from the Sun. Under skylights too, we g...

String of pearls – common problems

The most asked about plant these days is the magnificent String Of Pearls. Botanically called S enecio Rowleyanus and collaquially called the Bataani plant by old bangloreans, this is a beautiful cascading succulent that is exquisite and was a collector’s pride in most banglorean homes. They are relatively easy to maintain and as any other succulent, thrive on neglect :) . Ideal spots to have them shine and prosper is shaded porticos, they also thrive well indoors - adjacent to open, airy windows, where they are get a couple of hours of morning sun. These are some of the common complaints that I have seen from our dear customers. Plant is looking too stringy and weak These plants do not have a great solid root system. So when we plant a single stem in a pot, these long strings weigh out the root ( since we allow one string to grow robust). The best way to tackle the problem is to make the plant stronger, its ideal to rotate the string withi...
