a_splash SG haro ah wanda, ltns, how are u?? well i guess everyone has their good reason to call it quit bah.... maybe sgforum is over additive for him and taking over his life and mind?? so must kick it off? just guessing only....
Wanda SG Ah Splashy! It's been a long time! I'm fine, what about you? Still doing your gardening? You haven't log in much, have you? I'm still lurking around club30. Har...so pct was addicted?
a_splash SG 'gardening' in abit of mess, flowers not blooming much, tho we still hv some sunbird (that's what my children told me, not sure if they are right) and others coming for the hibiscus....... how's your doing? the 'cat' plant?
Wanda SG Ya, sunbird have this tendency to nest in people's balcony's or garden. It happened to a friend of mine too...came to build nest one year, went away and came back the following year. Your hibiscus is still flowering then? The catnip plant is doing not so good now, due to infection by mealy bugs. At one time, the 2nd batch grew to 60 cm tall. The plant is self generating if one fertilise regularly...now the 3rd batch is sprouting out.
a_splash SG wow........post a pix when u can k.... i will steal time to come and kua..... ok must run le... tomorrow must chase for money le...else i will be in trouble.. ..wish myself good luck.......
Wanda SG Now the plant is not nice...very small and maturing/flowering le...and I can't seem to get rid of the mealy bugs once and for all. Do you ever have this problem? The supposedly remedy is to spray diluted neem oil mixture.
a_splash SG i ever saw this white stuff moving on the plant. all i did was just spray with insecticide (those small little bottles and extremely smelly liquid which needed to add with water) and i think it works, didn't se them anymore. Recently found LOTS of crawlings that look like tiny worms crawling all over the soil when i dig them out. i used that too. ic..... mine are not nice cos i always forgets to water them so they lost their leaves, once in awhile hubby sympathise for the dying looking plants he would help me to water them too ......occassionally one or two hibiscus still bloom even tho i hv not been taking care much....that's the reason the birds ( sometimes tiny ones) still comes.... will be adding my collection with mosq repellent grass soon.....
Wanda SG I see.... I don't use insecticide de bec I try to keep it as organic as I can...as I sometimes give the catnip leaves to the cats to play. It's like a "drug" to some cats that are sensitive to it...they sniff liao then start to roll about in a daze. I also plant cat grass for my foster cats to munch on...so I don't use insecticide. What colour is your hibiscus flower? Red?
