It usually sits outside in my balcony. But has become pretty long.

Has anyone ordered from goldenhillsfarm.in before? They seem to have a huge variety of plants and grafted fruit plants available online. I’m thinking about ordering from them, so if anyone has any experience regarding plant quality, packaging, or customer service, please share your review!

First time potting succulents and adenium
Saw multiple videos and read articles before doing this and passing on the summary :-)
Soil mix
Sand : Compost : Perlite : Cocopeat (used whatever the pot from the nursery had) = 1: 1/2 :1/2 : 1/4
Added one stick of charcoal as well. Added a small spoon of NPK for adenium.
New pot for adenium was around 1.5 inch larger in circumference and around 3 inch deeper. Apparently the depth is less important.
Pushed the caudex (thick part of the stem) up by ~2 inches while repotting. Can notice the faint marking on the stem if looked at closely.
Kept the succulent tray in a corner where I don't need to water other plants frequently.

Help me save my aglaonema
Hello! I have had this pink aglaonema for the past year..it's was doing well so far but it has suddenly dropped... For context, this has been placed in a balcony that gets direct sunlight from 12pm-4pm. I live in Noida, India so it has been getting some high temperatures for the past few weeks....
What do I do?

Radical idea: Can we "walk and sow" our way out of the heat and dust?
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much the urban heat and dust have increased in cities like Pune. Urbanization is moving so fast, and we just don’t have enough trees to keep up.
I had this "wild" idea and I wanted to see if it’s actually feasible or just wishful thinking: What if everyone who went for a morning walk carried a pocketful of seeds and just scattered them as they went?
Specifically, I’m wondering about a mix of hardy, "extreme condition" seeds—maybe a combination of lawn-type grasses to cover the soil and reduce dust in the short term, and native tree seeds that could eventually provide shade.
The thought process:
• It's hard for a single person to dig a hole and plant a tree every day.
• But throwing seeds while walking is effortless.
• If we used seeds that can grow in poor, unfertile soil with almost no water, could we "magically" green up the edges of roads and vacant lots?
I’m curious to hear from the community:
Is this even ecologically sound, or would it just be a waste of seeds?
Are there any horticulture experts here who know of specific "bulletproof" breeds of grass or trees that can survive being thrown onto dry, urban soil?
Would this actually help with the dust problem, or is the "walking and throwing" method too low-yield to make a difference?
I'd love to hear if anyone has tried "guerrilla gardening" like this or if there are massive flaws in the logic that I’m missing. What do you all think?

This is the plant fresh out of the box.I think there is something wrong with her😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔 I appreciate any and all advice. I really need to keep this sweet baby alive and well 🙏😭 Please guide me. I previously had a brief encounter with a peace lily but it died within 2 days I don't even consider it my plant. Please help me with this one sunlight,pot size, soil mix, watering schedule , watering amount.... For now I have watered it lightly and placed in bright indirect light near a window. (It was packaged a MONTH AGO. pretty sure that's plant cruelty) Any and all advice is appreciated 🙏

Friend gifted Gunja sapling; planted it today!
So my friend was suggesting I take a sapling from her Gunja plant for a long time. I wasn't that keen as the seeds are poisonous.
But she asked me again and I couldn't refuse and she sent a nice sapling over yesterday. Just planted it in a big pot (for my Ylang-Yalng which flowered once in 12 years lol) where it can easily lean on and climb.
Was reading up a bit about this plant. It is called Chanothi in Gujarati. While seeds are toxic, leaves are medicinal. As a kid I remember some pan shops using these dried leaves too.
The seeds are a sign of auspiciousness and a rosary is offered to Mahalaxmi in particular.
Hoping this one grows well and my balcony garden gets revived in due time.
Btw I also had a major nursery haul yesterday and got sooo many other plants. Will post about that separately soon.
PS- Second pic of the seeds picked from net for reference only.
