A Green Gift: Why Indoor Plants Are the Perfect Present in Times of Rising Prices
Pasant Elzaitony When visiting friends or family, many people wonder what gift to bring. Flowers and chocolates are often the first choices. But in today's world, where prices are skyrocketing globally, flowers have become extremely expensive, and chocolates are now priced like gold. That's why a potted green plant has become the ideal gift. This choice is not only practical and thoughtful but is also backed by numerous studies confirming that indoor plants boost positive energy, dispel negative vibes, and act as a natural source of oxygen, refreshing the air inside the home. Recent research also shows that plants can feel and respond to their owners—they grow better when gently touched by human hands. So, how do you choose the right plant to give as a gift? And how do you care for it at home? You can opt for small plants like Pothos, which is easy to care for and thrives in indoor spaces with minimal sunlight. Or you may prefer larger plants that also do well indoors, such as the Monstera. Large Indoor Plants Larger plants have the advantage of adapting easily to indoor living. They don't require intensive care. It's important, however, to provide simple natural fertilizers, such as banana peels soaked in water for four hours, and then use that water to nourish the soil. A key tip when repotting: choose a slightly larger pot—not one that is too wide. Overly spacious pots can affect the plant's stability and growth. Why Choose Monstera? The Monstera is known for its large, dramatic leaves. The name is derived from 'monster,' due to the size of its foliage. It's a strong, hardy plant that tolerates both under- and over-watering, making it ideal for busy people or beginners. The Golden Tip Plants love to be touched and cared for. Gently touching their leaves from time to time helps them flourish. It's also recommended to wipe the leaves using a soft cloth dipped in water with a little white vinegar to clean their surface and keep them looking healthy and beautiful. Whether you're visiting a friend or simply want to bring life into your own home, a green plant in a pot is a gift that lasts—and grows—with time. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...

Happy Eid, Op-ed
Elham Aboul Fateh Happy Eid to you all! Today marks the second day of the blessed Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Adha is not merely a holiday filled with joy and delight; it is a sacred moment, recurring over thousands of years, to remind us of the greatest lessons of faith and sacrifice. The story of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), who said to himself, "Indeed, I am going to my Lord; He will guide me" (Surah As-Saffat: 99), as he prepared to carry out God's command to sacrifice his dearest possession, his beloved son, is a message that remains etched in our hearts and souls. His obedience was without hesitation, and his faith was unwavering, until Allah, out of His mercy, replaced the sacrifice with a magnificent ram. Thus, it was both redemption and mercy simultaneously. O Allah, Protector of the heavens and the earth, we ask You to protect our children and safeguard our country from all harm. Make our beloved Egypt a homeland of peace and glory, steadfast against fierce winds, strong by Your wisdom and mercy. O Allah, grant us a good ending, and grant us a sincere intention to build the earth with goodness and righteous deeds. O Allah, Most Generous and Merciful, You who hold dominion over the heavens and the earth, we ask You in these blessed days to protect our country from all evil and to lift every worry and grief from our homeland. O Allah, keep Egypt safe and resilient in Your care, illuminating its paths with the light of Your wisdom, and raising its banner of glory high and unshakeable. O Allah, keep our children and families in Your preservation and safety, guard them from every danger, and fill their hearts with tranquility and faith. O Allah, grant us strength of resolve, expand our provisions, and bless our time and deeds. O Allah, just as You commanded Prophet Ibrahim to obey You and brought him closer to You through sacrifice, make us also closer to You, and keep us firm on the path of truth and righteous deeds. O Allah, make all our days Eids – Eids of peace, security, and success. Protect our homeland Egypt from all harm, and make it a land of goodness, dignity, and prosperity. O Allah with whom trusts are never lost, O Allah with whom hope is never disappointed, all praise is due to You for Your countless blessings, and all thanks are due to You for Your unending grace. Amen, O Lord of the Worlds. May Egypt, its people and government, and the entire Islamic world be in peace and safety every year. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies... Why?
