Picking up the threads of gardening - 2

This post is about the plants we brought back from our Delhi trip. My parents are avid gardeners themselves and can never walk by a nursery without buying a truckload of plants! So it is no surprise that they always have some to give us.

They picked up a jade plant for us from the nursery.

My parents are also very fond of green tea in various forms. So they always have a Tulsi plant or two. This one was kept aside for us.

Finally, they picked up this plant from a trip they went on. My mother literally grabbed a handful of cuttings and planted them in various shallow containers. A few cuttings were given to us.

I found it really difficult to identify this plant. Even now I'm not sure whether this is right, but I think it is Pilea Depressa. It is really easy to propogate and looks beautiful cascading down, when placed at a height.
