Do they look pitiful or what?! You think they look like that because I never fertilize them? Could be, eh. Haha.
A few weeks ago, I saw several pots of African Violets at the local supermarket. I wanted to get more than one pot, but resisted, and brought one pot home instead. So far they are still alive! I was afraid that the moment I brought it into the house it will die on me!
This is a pretty color. There were several colors to choose from, and after picking up and putting down a few, I finally decided on this one. I think I should start fertilizing it every couple of weeks or so, so they will bloom constantly. If it doesn't die on me before it has a chance to re-bloom, that is!
Any tips on keeping African Violets healthy, anyone?
Puteri,
ReplyDeleteThough I am into agriculture and plants are supposed to be my thing, I have somehow neglected them for so long.
My wife has the greenfingers now and she loves he plants so much. I think its her way to destress herself. Enjoy looking at those pretty flowers, they can be therapeutic sometimes.
Zawi,
ReplyDeleteDon't tell me your green fingers have now turned brown!
I have never been much of a gardener, and Doug used to joke about the plants I bring home .. destined for death, that was what he said. So far most of my indoor plants are doing ok, except for the African Violets. I have not had any success with any of the maiden hair, and the ferns. Every time I bring a pot home, sure mati within a few weeks.
I love looking at flowering plants too, and especially outdoors with the bees, butterflies, hummingbirds etc .. such a soothing sight!
aku nang sigi enda nemu bercucuk tanam...mati magang bala tumbuhan.
