Yoz so happy to see so many pple interested in planting . Erm
well as an advice for pple trying to grow plants , please don't
squeeze too many into one pot bcos they need nutrients . And by
combining so many plants together in one pot , they have to fight
for it which is very unhealthy as some of them are bound to be
undernourish . Actually there are ways to boost their growing speed
that is by using commercial chemicals to make the soil release
nutrients faster , but that will also cause the soil to lose their
nutirents faster so you need to fertilize them more often. As for
pple trying to grow cherry tomatoes , thsi plant need alot of space
to grow and to grow roots so as to ensure enough nutrients and most
impt in all plants , sunlight so that they will produce the cherry
tomatoes . You need very strong sunlight for veggy type of plant
otherwise it may not grow fruit and even if they grow , they will
be smaller then normal .
i myself have tried growing many types of veggy plants for example
; hulu ( bottle gourd ) , japanese cucumber , corn , big and cherry
tomatoes chilli padi , cauliflower , kang kong , tua cang ,
spearmint and currently cotton plant with much success all thanks
from my old vege farmer advice . He taught me to use chicken manure
as fertilizer and commercial chemicals , and most impt of all is
the type of soil used . To grow veggies , black most soil is the
best , don't use clay type those are meant for cactus .
Would appreciate it if someone could teach me how to put pictures
into sg forums then i will show you all some of my plants . And by
the way if anyone wants seeds for white carrot , red carrot ,
cotton , chilli padi very small type can contact me . i bought alot
of seeds but n chance to use them cause not enuff sunlight to grow
some of them . Veggies need alot of sunlight to grow , the best is
direct sunlight from the sun esp for cauliflower , need more then
10hrs of direct sunlight to grow to market size and not to forget
fertilizer . Chicken manure is the best if you find iut too smelly
then if you drink tea or kopi , just throw the remaining leaves or
residue into your flowerpot they are slow release organic
fertilizer and when you wash rice , the white milky water is also
good for your plants . My own flowerpot even have earthworms in
them to help me aerate the soil .
