GROWING
SAPLINGS FROM STEM CUTTINGS AND FLOWER CUTTINGS
Eco Club
Activity
‘We have not
inherited the earth from our forefathers, we have borrowed it from our children.’
Planting saplings is a harbinger of prosperity as they would let our coming
generations lead a healthy life. Keeping this in mind, Eco Club members of
grade 9 and 10 planted saplings from stem cuttings and flower cuttings in small
earthen pots on July 30, 2016. As a part of our business enterprise ‘Good
Earth’, we have decided
to diversify our business by planting saplings from the plants growing in the
school campus. We used the
compost prepared in the school by the Eco Club during the previous session for
planting the saplings. We will be watering the saplings on a daily basis as
well as have placed the pots in an open area so that they are provided water of
the rainfall too. The saplings will be ready for the Fundraising event
in the month of September, 2016. The activity brought all of us closer to
nature and we realized that we must pay meticulous attention for the nurture,
protection and growth of these saplings too. The saplings that we have planted
from stem cuttings and flower cuttings are:
·
Eryanthemum
·
Hibiscus
·
Acalypha
·
Aralia
·
Son of India
·
Tulsi
·
Money plant
·
Hemalia
·
