GREEN HOUSE
It's time to bring them inside. Not only will they beautify the house, they bring luck too.
The colour green is positively attributed to spreading freshness, serenity and bringing in harmony. We can bring all this positivity inside our home through plants like bonsais, cacti, terrariums and some of the regular medium-sized garden plants.
Space crunch Besides adding beauty, plants also make a room look spacious. a gardening enthusiast, says, "I have plants on the dining table, in the bathroom, at the entrance to welcome guests and on window ledges.
So I wake up to freshness every morning.
"Terrariums can be maintained easily and are cleaner because they are bottled. Chlorophytum and alocasia are suitable plants for interiors.
" Plants also have scientific benefits like freshening the air, thereby increasing productivity and enhancing homes and the work place. "Changing the position of plants helps in giving the interior a new look and filling up empty spaces.
"Bonsais are a way to bring big plants like peepal, mango and neem inside homes," she says.
Experimenting with the pots and plants, her hobby benefits her entire family. Sandeep Maru feels that plants break the monotony of the colour scheme of a room or office.
"With a variety of coloured interior plants like Begoniacece, one has the option to choose the colours," he says. Plant pick Chlorophytum or spider plant: This one has a number of platelets hanging from a stem, making it look like the legs of a spider.
Alocasia: An evergreen plant, it spreads its stems and leaves around the pot. A good filler for the corner.
Jasmine: This one fills the room with its fragrance and keeps the atmosphere pleasant. Moneyplant: It's the most common home plants as it can be grown in water or mud.
It is thought to bring financial luck.

An enzyme responsible for cancer
London, Mar 8 (ANI): Institute of Cancer Research scientists claim that they have found an enzyme which is responsible for cancer spread.
Cancer Cell journal reported that boffins have discovered a way to stop cancer spreading to other parts of the body after finding enzyme called LOX.
According to researchers, LOX is crucial in promoting metastasis.
Cancer metastasis, where the cancer spreads from its original location, is known to be responsible for 90percent of cancer-related deaths.
To reach the conclusion, researchers studied breast cancer in mice - but are confident that their findings will apply to humans with other cancer types too.
LOX (lysyl oxidase) works by sending out signals to prepare a new area of the body for the cancer to set up a camp. Without this preparation process the new environment would be too hostile for the cancer to grow.
Lead researcher Dr Janine Erler explained the discovery as "the crucial missing piece in the jigsaw that scientists have been searching for."
She said it was the first time one key enzyme has been identified as responsible for effectively allowing the cancer to spread.
"If we can interrupt the body's ability to prepare new locations for the cancer to spread to, we can effectively prevent cancer metastasis. Cancer metastasis is very difficult to treat and this new discovery provides real hope that we can develop a drug which will fight the spreading of cancer," The BBC quoted her, as saying. (ANI)
