This channel is a video diary of my "grow at home" focusing on edibles and vegetables. Decided to convert our small garden patch into an edible kitchen garden in 2017. I am also starting some small ornamental plants collections to fill up our home indoor courtyard here in a tropical and sunny Malaysia. My hope is for the channel to inspire more green hands and that everyone will make effort to "grow something green" in their lives.
I pinch off the flower buds on basil plants as soon as they appear. Today I also pruned the top 8 inches of every plant and dehydrated the leaves and made pesto. I'l should get at least six more good harvests before fall. We use a lot of pesto in recipes.
My aloes have been neglected for years. One has dozens of babies and the other is growing like a vine with the trunk extending out of the pot about 10 inches before there are any leaves. The babies I can repot but I don’t know what to do with the one with the extended trunk. Beyond the bare trunk of 10 inches or more it’s healthy. Can the trunk be cut within the 10 inches and replanted? I’m assuming the bare cut trunk left with the root will start to grow again. It’s the top I cut off without the root I worry about.
I've been searching for a video just like this! ❤ Have you had success putting vinca cuttings directly in soil for propagating? If so, what ingredients would you recommend(or not recommend) to make the soil? Thank you again so much! Trailing vinca are my favorite flower out here in hot Arizona!
Good idea but many bugs like aphids will get through that and at the top. You need to use something like Agribon or other spun row cover and drape it over the top, then pin it to the rim like you did.
I don't necessarily think it needs to be from the "main" stem but just from more mature stems or branches that have started to harden up, i.e. semi-hardwood. Passion flower vine is also like this. It is counterintuitive as you'd think the soft fresh cuttings would root more easily.
I do not use any pest control if I may suggest try néem oil/baking soda mixture (Google) but from personal experience it will work slow and requires careful and controlled amount. Over usage may also harm the plant.
@@thereerhunter2314 one TBSP yeast, 2 TBS sugar and a 5 gallon bucket of water. Now Fill the 5 gallon bucket with water. Take about a quart of that water and mix in the sugar and yeast. Let sit covered lightly for 24 hours. Not tight because it rises and will pop the lid off. Pour that mixture back into the 5 gallon bucket. Stir well. Feed each plant one cup of the mixture twice a month. Helps keep pests away and feeds the plant. I learned this from another Gardner here on RU-vid. I tried it and omg I was amazed. Results for growth and green leaves within 2 days and I don’t see any more pests around the plants. Can’t hurt to give it a try. Yeast is very beneficial to plants.
If you let it sit more than 48 hours it has a rancid smell. Use it right away. Within 24-36 hours. I let mine sit figuring I have a batch ready to go when I took the cover off I almost lost my lunch. Bad disgusting smell. Putrid.
i have a pot of it in my room and im letting it grow free cause i want the vines the hang down, its on top of two old speakers right next to a window so it can get light in the best spot.
i live in tropical country. there is 2 major roses well known that already naturalize here. almost wild roses. also rose called loise phillip, julie andrews and moncour really do well in my hot humid area where temperature goes around 30c -34c all year around.
Where did you buy these self watering pots from? I like how it is two piece so you can see the water and test the nutrients. I've been looking but still no luck.
Hi! I just replanted my seedlings into bigger pots and have them under grow lights, I’m worried they are damping off cause the all have fallen over, so do you think that it could be transplant shock? They fell over two days after repotting. Please help, I’m a first time gardener and am stressed 😩
