Good day my gardening chums!
sorry for not posting for ages, been so busy with customers and their garden needs. Because i also go to peoples homes to advise on gardening ideas too, if you want to get a quotation for a consultation just let me know! ok, business plug over!
Now, as the title suggests we have been having alot of wet weather, nothing unusual in the rainforest region i know, but you must take some extra precautions during this time of year.
If you have delicate plants, small flowers, your strawberry plants for example it might be worth setting up a plastic roof for them, you can use rigid plastic or sheet plastic like whats found in a plastic bag, but something that will reduce slightly the amount of water your plants is taking on.
If you dont, the plant will simply go rotten due to taking on too much water and its dead. Also with the reduction in sunlight caused by the cloud cover, you will need to feed your plants more regularly. Instead of only once a month for normal conditions you may need to give them food twice a month, just to give them a boost.
Also if you have large bushy plants like Bougainvillea or roses, Hibiscus that sort of thing, now is a good time to give them a haircut, prune them back and this will encourage new growth for when the dry season comes and will then produce more flowers. If you are unsure about how much to cut off then contact me, and i will come and look at your plants and advise accordingly ( a small consultation fee will ne charged).
Well, we are all set for Chinese New Year, although i have not seen many rabbits here in Malaysia.. anyway to all our Chinese friends and customers Gōng xǐ fā cái !!
