I see you have a new hobby ..
No, you dont have a black thumb. Basil and other leafy herbs i.e. tarragon, rosemary, mint et al, that are for sale in Tagaytay inside Mahogany market or on the roadside, need relatively cool weather (just like in Tagaytay) to grow properly. The heat of Metro Manila is a killer for these plants, if you want to grow them, place the plants under a shade and provide lots of water, early morning and early evening watering. Plus a mist sprayer is needed, this will cool down the exterior of the plant (leaves, stems), so as it will not wilt and dry up.

The cut flower business is a huge money earner (not too many people know about that). Vanda's, Vanda Teret's, Dendrobiums, African Violets, Anthuriums, to name a few, are expensive in florist shops.
If you have a bit of space, this is another good hobby worth looking into. ;)
Yeah. I think guys in glasses are super cute! Mukhang good boy kasi.
I wanted a herb garden but all my herbs diedOnly the oregano survived. Those who are into gardening are very well balanced individuals daw
I hope I become one din
We buy Orchids regularly but when the flowers wilt, the plant does not flower again e. So frustratingBTW It's so cute that you know all about orchids? Are you into the business? Good thing our fruit trees don't give us problems naman.

OT:
Orchids (not the motel) need a spray of fertilizer once in awhile (twice a month) to keep the plants healthy and in check. Try Gaviota, for "all-around" fertilizer requirements, and Orchid Bloom, to stimulate/induce the budding of flowers.

Siam brand is malabnaw when used as directed. Add another 50% over what is prescribed, for good results. Ex: 2 tablespoons/1litre of water, make it 3 tablespoons for the same amount of water.
I think Orchid Bloom is available in Cartimar.![]()
