Care-plan updates

This requests updates. It does not add a plant to an app garden.

Raat ki rani needs sun, drainage, room to grow and careful placement—the night fragrance is powerful and every part is toxic if eaten.

Kamini flowers best with real sun, steady drainage and pruning timed after a bloom flush—not constant clipping.

Give your rubber plant bright filtered light, let the upper mix dry, and change the rhythm when monsoon or AC changes the room.
