Here are some of the gardening tools that you can choose to cut the plants:
By pass blades: scissors for the wet branches.
Universal blades: scissors for the kitchen or plants such as orchids.
Anvil blades: to cut out and cut the crop.
By pass blades + anvil blades: have two functions.
Grass scissors: to cut the grass.
Ratchet: scissors are used for large branches, dry, hard, and old.
There are also water sprayers, such as sprinklers, the water spreader that plays like a propeller. There is also a water hose in which the water out of the hose holes. This hose can be used for plants that should not be watered in a taut condition, because it might stress the plant will then die. For example is for a trunk soft taro, or orchid.
Unwilling to plant a hard spray of water could also use sprayer which will produce a special soft water. “If you want practical, use two sprays in one appliance. So, just want to stay playing fast or slow
In order for your roses to continuously flowering, do some important things below:
* Give “food” and “drink” regularly. Food in the form of special fertilizer plant roses or if there is no give compost or humus. Fertilization is done before the spring or if in Indonesia at the end of the rainy season, late spring.
Give eat again every two months during the flowering period. I used to use a special organic rose fertilizer, cow manure and sometimes also chicken manure-me-so (it is dry and composed / not new). Give enough water so that the plants can grow well.
*Loose the soil and remove weeds / wild plants. Currently I have not done this trick again, replaced by mulching. Mulching is the act of covering the ground beneath the tree roses with organic materials. This organic material can be shredded bark, shredded daun2an, who cuts the grass mowed, hay, vegetables from the kitchen waste. Mulching is to avoid the growth of wild plants, reducing the frequency of watering because the soil moisture is maintained, the materials will be composed and become good humus for plants. Mulching in the winter will be good to protect the rose from snow and cold.
Flowers is one of the powerful elements of the park changed the face of a show garden views. In order to remain beautiful flowers and lush, gorgeous blooms, consider some of these tips.
* Need sunlight. Color on the petals of a flower can be split perfectly if given enough sunlight. Warm light makes bright flower color of chlorophyll.
* Fertilizer for fertility. There are several types of fertilizer that can be used for planting flowers. Sprinkle fertilizer on the ground, every two weeks.
* Prune dead flowers. Flower petals began to fall should be cut to replace the new flower growth.
* Adequate water levels. At the time of watering, set the bulk water; do too much or too little. Water content is too much cause decay so difficult to interest broke.
Rose with the scientific name of plants of Rosaceae is very worthy of the Order Rosanales is very appropriate to be the “Queen of Flowers” because almost everyone likes and knows roses. Flower color is gorgeous with a variety of color and seemed to turn the park into lively atmosphere, plus the fragrant scent of aromatic charm. Roses are known to have many varieties.
Advances in technology increasingly makes this diverse family of plants with various colors ranging from red, purple, black and even a mixture of several colors. In addition petals are increasingly varied, from a single bud, to a stacked double.
In general, roses are grouped based on the physique and the nature of its growth into four major groups. Namely: a lot of shrub roses were planted as a fence; roses dwarf form of potted plants, roses and the last tree that grows rose’s liana vines. Read the rest of this entry »
* Choose a place exposed to direct sunlight. When Iris was in a shady area, they only grow and produce lots of leaves but not flowering.
* Plant the rhizome / root junction was not too deep, even some of the rhizome should still appear on the surface of the soil. Sometimes it can be planted too deep so stagnant flowering Iris.
* Fertilize as needed, especially in early spring.
* Water it as needed, not every day and not too rare.
* A month – two months after Iris finished blooming (mid-month fall in June), cut the leaves until approximately 5 cm from the rhizome. This action is to make Iris produces a larger rhizome many new flowers shoot.
Iris proliferation
Iris reproduce by rhizome / root rhizome (easily done and fast), or through seeds (old and new growth sometimes fail if not done correctly).
In late summer, the Iris can be dismantled, and separated rhizome and in planting again. In the spring of next year you will have lots of new plants. If the seeds, the seeds must be in bottles filled with sand and then placed in the freezer for six months, removed and planted in the sand to grow saplings slices. After a bit, new tillers were moved to the courtyard. How to reproduce by seed more troublesome is only performed for iris that crossed to create new varieties.
Cats are cute. But no matter how cute they are, they can be very annoying when they come across to our beautiful garden and mess up with the plants that we have always taken care of so dearly. You must be really angry when you found your neighbor’s cat running around in your garden chasing around a butterfly run over your precious flowers. That thing can drive you crazy and it can actually trigger a bad relationship with your neighbors. It will be a very awful situation when you fight over a cat with your neighbor. You might have set a fence to protect your garden, but cats are great jumpers. They jumped over the fence and ruin your garden arrangement. For this problem, the best solution is the cat repeller.
A cat repeller is a tool or substance that will keep cats away from an area that we do not want them to be around in. The best cat repeller is the one that can repel cats instantly without doing them any harm. The Big Cheese is one of the safest and the most effective cat repellers. Big Cheese makes use of noise in high frequency that most people cannot hear but can be heard perfectly by cats. The cats cannot stand that kind of sound and therefore they will not come any near to the area where the cat repeller is attached.
Increasingly, land for green space is less. Especially in the residential area just have not so big. To cope with it, there’s no harm in choosing the vertical garden. Vertical garden began in 1994 is widely known through the works of French botanist, Patrick Blanc.
According to Blanc, plants do not require soil media under certain circumstances. Land is only mechanical backstop. The most important role for the life of plants is the supply of water and some minerals that are necessary for growth.
Vertical garden is an appropriate response to overcome the limitation of land, as well as the roof garden on the roof. Both are actually an attempt to move an unused green space to buildings to the area of the building or onto the roof.
Media cropping soil or planting media is not conventional, but the use of felt as a growing media. Well, this is still felt to be imported, thus making the price to be expensive. Now still try to use the local media. Useful to link the plant, used a kind of bracket (link). Drainage has also been arranged, so watering is no longer with the hose. The principle is to plant crops on the wall. Typically uses a special media or the construction of the building was put up for vertical garden. That must be considered is the type of plant selected. Section, would be associated with the roots, so if for buildings, combined with plants that need high humidity. Read the rest of this entry »
