I have recently bought many indoor plants for my new home. But my balconies were empty. Both of the balconies are sunny and have a little space to do some Container Gardening, so I thought, why don't I add some vibrant flower pots there?
There's a plant shop nearby and I executed my dream...
This place is located in Mohammadpur Dhaka. There were almost 5 plant shops but they have no name and no separation of the shop. I'm only guessing as I had to talk with different shop owners about the plants. All of the shops sell almost similar plants. They also provide every other facility for gardening. For example, containers, soil, fertilizer, etc.
The place is huge as you can see.
I have been to many plant shops like this. But I have to agree that this place is one of the cheap. Moreover, their plant was comparatively healthy, and they provide cutting of different plants as well.
This would definitely be my go-to place from now on.
They got a huge variety of plants, from indoor to flower, from herbal to orchid, everything. You have to negotiate the price but they usually don't ask a high price. So I was good with the deal.
This color of Panthas was so beautiful, I couldn't resist having one. I hope this summer, this will grow perfectly on my balcony.
I have also bought night jasmine, a bougainvillea, a madhabilata, some soil, and fertilizer. All these cost me around $10.
The one on the left is Madhabilata, one of my favorite flowers. I was thinking to buy one for many years but never had the chance. Finally, I did.
I have already repotted the plants and will share the process later. The plants are doing fine and hopefully will thrive on my balcony.
It was a successful plant shopping day and I'm so happy about it.
Your Panthas is beautiful! I love the vibrant color! I have that exact plant and the same color (one fushia and one white) We call them Pentas here, but, they are the same. Mine is growing wonderfully on my porch, I also planted one in the garden. I love them because they grow in any kind of condition, it seems.
I didn't get bougainvillea as I am not sure it will grow here. I lived in Texas and I had them all over, but, perhaps, I should try one. I wonder if I will find one here!
I do love that nursery, what a great find! Your balcony is going to look beautiful! I can hardly wait to see the process of replanting. Maybe next market! :) You know how we love all the plants! How did you select your flowers? Color? Shape? Were you familiar with all the ones you bought? I have never heard of a Madhabilata, what kind of flowers does it have? Good luck with your garden! I can hardly wait to see updated pictures from your balcony! EDIT: I Googled Madhabilata!! What a stunning flower it has! Thank you for sharing your new purchases with us!
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
First of all, I'm really sorry for this late reply. I was having some family get together at my home lately and was busy arranging everything.
The plants are growing so we'll after repotting, I'm hopeful they will thrive. They added so much positive vibe to my home.
I have looked up, the Pentas is the correct name of the plant which is locally known as Panthas here. It's also flowering pretty well.
And the best thing was adding Madhobilota to my balcony. The bouquet of flowers looks so beautiful. And the fragrance is so nice. Loved it, blessed to have it.
As I have a small balcony so even if I wanted to I can't have all the plants. I only buy which can grow in small space, takes minimal care, and sun. Also, I like to add different colors of flower plants if I can.
Thanks a lot for asking and showing so much interest. I know how much you love flowers and nature.
Have a wonderful day over there, dear.
The home is much better with plants. 🥰 I like the color of the Panthas~ adorbs! Nice plant shopping!

Once I used to do gardening when I was in the village but I don't do it at the current time because in my balcony there don't have enough space for gardening. Besides, when I became busy I forgot to water the plants and plants die automatically. So, I stopped buying plants.
I think you bought those things at a cheap price.
You can try having some indoor plants like snack plants. Those doesn't need much water and grow pretty well in any condition.
Sorry for the late reply. I was away from Hive for a few days.
Have a good day.
I am also planning for it but It wasn't possible till now because of my laziness😅. I hope I will make it happen soon.
Nothing to say sorry. I can understand.
Flower shops here in our place is mostly located along the roads where people can see them while passing by.
That was a great and beautiful flower shops full of blooming and colorful flowers. Soon your balcony will be filled with flowering flowers too.
I agree. The shops were so colorful and easy to look around, loved it.
Sorry for the late reply. I was away from Hive for a few days.
Have a good day over there.
The flowers looks so beautiful. If only I can buy all of them.
Flowers does add more light and life to the house. And these beautiful set Will make your balcony great.
I don't think that they are too expensive at $10
Thanks for sharing this beauty with us
They are growing pretty well. You said it right, they added so much positive vibe to my balcony!
