## About Garden Maintenance & Consultation

I help you grow real, healthy plants, not just Insta-worthy ones. Whether you’ve got a tiny balcony or a full terrace, I’m here to make sure your garden actually thrives, not just survives.

### What I Fix

- Plants that just won’t flower or fruit (lemon tree ka drama, anyone?)
- Leaves turning yellow after baarish (rain) or for no reason
- Pests like mealybugs, caterpillars, or even birds messing with your plants
- Overgrown, sad-looking houseplants

If you’re stuck, chinta mat karo (don’t worry). I’ve seen it all.

### How I Help

- **Plant Revival and Troubleshooting:** I diagnose sick plants, fix soil or nutrient issues, and repot overgrown ones. I’ve brought back lemon plants that didn’t fruit for a year.
- **Organic Pest Control for Home Gardens:** No chemicals. I use simple, effective methods - sometimes just manual removal or DIY organic sprays. Even have jugaad (hack) for birds using foil.
- **Vertical Garden Maintenance & Makeovers:** I handle everything from transforming empty corners to keeping vertical green walls fresh.
- **Seasonal Garden Care Consultation:** I set up fertilizer schedules, support veggie plants, and help you harvest your own produce.
- **Expert Advice:** I guide you on plant selection, growing techniques, and what works best in Mumbai’s unpredictable weather.

I keep it real - some plants take time, some bounce back fast, and sometimes nature does its own thing. But I’ll always give you honest advice and practical help.
