How to maintain your Cactus 
Agrasync.blogspot.com

 1. Cactus generally come from desert climates, so you can guess what kind of location they like! Sun, sun and more sun. However, beware! Even cactus can burn, especially if they are in direct sunlight behind a glass window, as this magnifies the sun’s impact. A south facing window is ideal. If you see your cactus start to turn yellow or brown on the side facing the sun, then you might need to let it cool down in a different spot.

 2. Watering cacti plants has been a stressful idea for many plant owners. We know they need water because they’re plants, but at the same time we’ve been told not to give them too much water because they’re from the desert! The truth is that cacti need regular waterings, they just have a special ability to survive drought.
If you want your cacti to grow, then water is vitally important. In a sunny location, that gives them plenty of heat during the day, you can give them water every week. The only rule is: Make sure the soil is dry between waterings. This will stop the roots and lower edges of the plant from becoming waterlogged or rotting. 
During winter months you can cut back on the water, as cacti become dormant during this time with less sun and cooler night temperatures.
3. Cactus gardens are very popular, where a number of different species of cacti grow together in one container garden to create an oasis of beautiful plants. Often this requires repotting the cacti! Besides always wearing thick gloves (or using salad tongs to pick up and hold the cacti), you also need to consider the kind of soil you’re using in the new container. Cactus enjoy their own unique flavour of dirt, and it needs to be very effective at draining excess H2O. Bags of cactus soil are sold in many nurseries or flower shops, and you’ll find it is sandier and rockier than regular potting soil. This is essential in making sure your water drains through and doesn’t keep your cactus feeling soggy. 
4. Feeding Cactus can really benefit from fertilizer, and there are specialized ones with just the nutrients they need. (A 10-10-10 fertilizer is another good option for a balanced meal.) During the summer growth months you can fertilize them lightly with every watering, as they prefer to be fed small doses regularly. Taper off during the winter months to allow the plants to rest.
Cactus is a most beautiful plan..keep growing

How to Grow Orchids These Delicate Flowers Are Easier to Grow Than Many People Think By : Ashutosh Adhikary. T o  grow an orchid, you have to think like an orchid. The golden rule for orchid success is to duplicate the plant's natural conditions as closely as possible. In nature, most orchids are epiphytes, meaning they grow on other objects, clinging to rough bark or even stone or cocopeat. Optimal Growing Conditions for Orchid Plants : These plants thrive in strong light, but not direct late-afternoon sunlight (although dendrobiums can handle more sun). They also need high humidity and turbulent airflow around the roots. They need regular periods of drying alternated with heavy watering (or drenching rains). Orchids do best in temperatures above 50°C but below 85°C. The closer you can come to creating these conditions in your growing area, the more success and better blooms you will have. Most store-bought orchids come packaged...
