Well gardening is the most famous hobby in my country. I’m surrounded by plenty plant enthusiasts. Here I would like to talk about someone who admires planting. She is none other than my grandmother since she is passionate about gardening. She knows all the ends and outs of agriculture. However she is more interested in planting and growing distinct types of plants as some dumb cane, zizi plant, snake plant, money plant, any plant and so on. What she adores is Davos ivy. I can clearly remember once she confessed that Davos ivy is her favorite plant as it doesn’t require much care. What I mean it is neither fertilizer nor pesticides to grow. It needs to be watered fortnightly. Moreover, it filters out the impurities in that atmosphere. What’s more, she believes that if she keeps that plant at home, it will bring good luck, blessings and money for her. Despite all these positive aspects of devil’s ivy. There is just one drawback about it which is pruning. Growing rapidly, this plant needs regular pruning. Overall, I would like to follow in her footsteps and become like her as she is a positive person and a great guide for me.
