My terrace garden

vjbunny,

I do cut the excess roots, in the plants when i repot the plant. i have moved away to a new place, and as construction is going on, my friends have taken the plant pots from me as gift saying that i can grow them again.

you have to change the soil in the pot once a year or once in two year. i do trim the roots of the hibiscus, arali and all. others do not pose that kind of a thread.

for the neem oil+dishwashing liquid..i use 1tsp of each in a 250ml of water.. mix it nicely and spray. infact i use a old colin bottle for the same..it is easier to concentrate on the leaf and stem with the spraying from the bottle.

that cost me around 100rs a plant, and somebody stole the whole pot from my terrace.

i admire the way you are maintaining your garden. I make karpooravalli, tulasi kashayam for my kids.for their cold. also kuzhambu just like karivepillai.

there are wonders in having these plants at home. the banana plant that i had looked too dwarfed in the plant that i gifted it to my friend to be planted in the soil. even the lemon tree i rescued from the street.

thanks for the encouragement.

 

vbunny,

I have given that recipe a few times in the parenting section. i think there is one thread on how to increase the immunity of kids..i have given it there too..

i have lost a few that way. i usually leave it under the care of my neighbours when i go to muscat, on vacation..so 2 months..people enjoy the flowers, and somebody steals it too..

now i have moved to a different place, let me see how it works.

 

thank you pramila.
