The Garden welcomes monsoon rains with plethora of blossoms of Rain Lilies  . The weather turns pleasant after heavy downpour perfect to revisit Gardening humdrums .                             

Rain Lilies can be easily grown with bulbs and requires minimalistic care throughout the year.  These hardy bulbs remains dormant in winter and have grassy leaves appearing  throughout the summer.

Garden Affair : Plants that can be grown from a Leaf cutting

 Monsoon is about to reach my city the monsoon season is best to grow perennial  trees and shrubs and also favorable time to  propagate plants due to drop in temperature after downpour. 

While Monsoon season  is favorable to grow  perennial and annual plants the  monsoon  season  is best for propagation of houseplants . I had been propagating  some of the house plants every year in monsoon with their leaves easily  . Here is the list of plants that can be easily grown through their leaves in a well drained fertile soil ;

Snake plants or Sansevieria varieties can be easily grown through a leaf cutting  

                                                                

Z Z plants are one of the most low maintenance plants that can be easily propagated through their leaf                                                                                                                                                         

Kalanchoe or Mother of thousand plant can be grown with single leaf and the best part it can          propagate thousand of plants from a single leaf                                                                                                        

  Jade plants are so easy to grow from their leaf and can be propagated easily in small shallow spaces .
