It is only too true. To be taken cared of or cared for is indeed a blessing. It holds true for nearly everything. Caring for your family, your home, your friends, your belongings, your health, for the matter. What is left uncared for would collect dust. Literally speaking or not.
Nothing is more true with plants. Not tending them would make them wither and eventually die. Love them and they thrive well. Hajar is very good with plants. She said always read Bismillah before you start anything especially when planting a new tree. We must be gentle for plants have souls too, so she said. When shifting them or dividing them, or cutting them, do it gently, do not pull or rip them apart but softly, softly does it. No wonder what Hajar plants always grew fat and healthy.
If I recall, there was a certain time when we were busy and watered the few plants at our previous flat only when we remember to. The leaves were not so nice. This time, when we put our hearts to look after them, what was growing slowly before seems to be greener and has more leaves. We have to weed, manure it and when necessary shelter the new seedlings. I covered the tomato seedlings with cut water bottles to shelter them from the pest and from too much sun or too much rain until they are bigger and stronger.
And this goes without saying, water them twice a day.
