Repotting of orchid

Orchid roots

Repotting is an interesting act for plant parents, just like pampering a baby. ❤❤ 

Everything was good and there were two bud twigs were growing on my orchids, but one day one stopped growing. On checking, i observed it was root rot. So i did some research for the right methods of Orchid repotting on internet and here it is. 


One month back I repotted my orchid due to root rot..it was totally my fault🤦‍♀️. I think that i overwatered it💦. Here is the whole process how I did it. 👆

I did some research on internet and took help from many insta plant parents.
🌱I separated its root and cleaned them and wiped off the water..
🌱I used COMPO SANA Orchid Soil with 8 Weeks Fertiliser and special pots with bigger holes for better aeration and water drainage.



🌱Now i water only when I feel the soil is dry.

Finally my plant is showing good signs and buds are growing.

What I learnt: Sometimes it is good to leave them alone 😄

I think we first let them enjoy their childhood, let them develop in all directions. Give them some more years or going play group is sufficient. But the opinions vary here, and everyone has her view on this matter. Some parents don’t want to send them at an early age, but they have no choice. These days mostly schools are taking 3+ kids for nursery and 4+ kids for KG . There are also some schools that prefer to take 4+ kids for nursery or they start from KG classes. The education system is growing more complicated as they don’t focus on the abilities of child and parents. Strict criteria and some guidelines are put, and that’s all. The most painful thing is the distances between schools and homes, how our little buds ca...

Generation of Random amino acid protein sequences using Python/Bio-python

This program is about how to generate protein sequences (random sequences of 100amino acid) and these sequences should be stored in a database type file. The sequence analysis gave the bioscience researches a new direction. This project works for generating new sequences of proteins. These sequences might already exist in nature and having similarity with any organism. Through this software new random sequences may be generated and saved to a file on user’s machine. Saving to file helps to compare different sequences as well as the complete information may be placed at the same place. The Protein generation part is a simple program which takes in user input for number of random Protein Sequences to generate and filename/file-path. Based on these user inputs random Protein sequences are generate of 100 amino acid residues of type IUPACProtein. The sequences thus generated are saved to a file in the current directory by the name username.fasta in Fasta format. This program is in Python L...
