New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Mogra with its fragrant white flowers, is a popular choice for gardening enthusiasts, often planted in gardens or pots. However this plant typically blooms less during the winter and can dry out by February. With the right gardening tips you can keep the Mogra plant thriving and blooming year-round without spending money. One important tip is to regularly take plant cuttings especially if the Mogra plant is older. This encourages the growth of new branches and leaves, improving the overall health of the plant. If your Mogra is planted in a pot and showing signs of drying, it's crucial to change the soil, as this helps rejuvenate the plant. Additionally, adding fertilizer, such as vermicompost, or grinding mustard cake and mixing it into the soil, can enhance growth and flower production.

A simple and cost-effective remedy for more blooms is using lemon peels. Collect seven to eight peels, soak them in one liter of water for 24 hours, then strain the water and apply it to the Mogra plant. This helps the plant stay green and encourages abundant flowers. Adding calcium to the plant can also boost flower production. You can grind chalk into powder and mix it into the soil near the roots for this purpose. Gardening experts recommend lemon peel water as a highly effective treatment, as it promotes healthy growth, prevents insect attacks, and reduces the risk of fungus. They also suggest compost, vermicompost, and nitrogen-rich fertilizers for optimal growth. Mogra plants require about four to five hours of sunlight, so if planted in a pot, ensure it's placed in a sunlit spot. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy a healthy, vibrant Mogra plant with plenty of beautiful flowers throughout the year.
