Hydrangea July 29, 2015

                                                The propagation of hydrangea                                                                                                                                         

(By all account, I am not an expert in growing flowers,

information I am sharing with you are from my own experience)

Pictures on this page are my own pictures of hydrangeas that I was able to successfully grow in my own backyard without testing dirt for PH level, without using rooting hormone or other chemical elements. Its just plain stem and H2O.

In my small insignificant way, I am trying to help keep our earth clean.

 

 

Things you need:

1. A stem of hydrangea (cut with sharp knife or scissors, bare lower half of the stem so  you could stick it to the ground).

2. Shady yard

3. Lots of water

How to:

Cut the stem in a diagonal fashion, stick it to soft, moist flowerbed in a shady area of your yard. (Hydrangea dislikes sun)

Better yet if you have a large tree, and create a circular flowerbed around that tree, and plant them there.

Water the newly planted hydrangea generously, every day for about 6 weeks. You will see your flower progressing, the old leaves will dry out and fall to the ground and new one will sprout around that stem. Before you know it, it will grow bigger and display its beautiful flowers.

Happy planting and share me your result.

Orchids May 9, 2011

Phalaenopsis – Orchid

Orchids are the most beautiful flower on earth. Orchid will thrive outdoor under a shade of tree if you live in hot climate, like Florida. Otherwise, if you live in colder climate, Orchid could survive indoor environment with daylight lighting and with minimum amount of sunlight.
Place orchids near or on the windowsill, where they will receive indirect sunlight. Water the plants once every 7 days. Orchids will bloom year after year.

Simple tips – depend on where you live:

1. Give direct sunlight only between 7 – 8:30 am

2. Watering is crucial, use spray bottle to water the young, use a tablespoon measure for the mature. Test the soil with a stick, if there is a trace of water, wait for another week to water. If necessary, just water the orchid a tablespoonful. It should have a good drainage on the bottom of the pot. Orchid hates soggy roots.
