This Coimbatore school teacher has an enviable collection of cacti and succulents
The HinduDeparting from traditional rewards, Shemalatha Sundar, a biology teacher, implemented a unique system of awarding cacti to students who achieved top scores in exams. Shemalatha thus began sharing her cacti online with detailed descriptions and captivating photos, eventually creating a successful business venture. Cacti are xerophytic plants adaptable to dry sunny locations with minimal humidity; combined with infrequent watering needs, this makes them a compelling choice for plant enthusiasts. Despite facing initial resistance due to cultural beliefs associating cacti with bad luck, her business thrived after the pandemic as people adopted gardening and sought low-maintenance indoor plants.
