Ms. LR, yung pitcher plants, magandang exotic plant sa bahay. Ang problem lang kailangan nya wet and humid ang environment. Di uubra sa dry places, matutuyo, unless you create a wet and humid surroundings. Meaning all day dilig ka or ilagay mo sa tabi ng isang pond. Tama ba ako, ms. LR?

What we do po doc with our Pitcher Plants is to put "moist kusot" mixed with a little soil. Tapos po hindi po namin nilalagay sa direct sunlight, usually under trees or shaded areas. Kaya po pag diniligan sa umaga, the mixture of kusot and soil is still moist and cool for the plant.

Pag nagpaparami naman kami nitong plant na ito, we just separate the "saha" of the plant between 2-3 pieces and re-plant it sa natuyong coconut shell still with the husks.

Oh, by the way, they don't repel insects but rather they do the opposite, i.e. they attract and trap them inside the pitcher-shaped portion of the plant. They are classified as carnivorous plants. Hehehe, nagparang botany class na.

Nyahahaha oo nga pala ano! I stand corrected! It does not repel but attract!! Funny thing is everytime i tilt the picher downward, ang dami talagang insekto sa loob na lunod sa liquid nung plant. Ang Galing! (heheheeh)

oregano plant po. sure yan

[woohoo]

Paki investiga kung bakit maraming lamok diyan
sa lugar niyo at baka may stagnant water somewhere.
Delikado ang lamok dahil sa dengue. Dami nang namatay
dahil diyan...

Basta naipon na tubig, delikado na magkaroon ng lamok. Pero ang "DENGUE mosquito," hindi sa stagnant water matatagpuan kung hindi sa CLEAN standing water.

Kaya, kahit malinis o maruming standing water, let's get rid of it quickly.

Naku Ms. Cathy kung alam mo lang kung gano kahirap magpalago ng Eucalyptus plant! I had 4 plants before tapos 1 lang ang nabuhay ko!

Sakit sa bulsa talaga pero happy ako kahit isa nabuhay namin.

Galing naman . I've always wanted to grow plants but I think I have a black thumb Yung Eucalyptus ba plant na or seeds pa lang? Where did you buy it?

LR, do you have herbs ba? Is it really difficult to grow basil? I have oregano at home and I didn't know that it was an insect repellant pala. hehe.

I bought the Euca from a plant show! Usually every Sunday dito sa Lung Center near the Quezon City Circle, maraming nagtitinda nyan pati mga herbal plants. Minsan nga yung herbal plants asa 3 for 100 petot lang. Minsan naman asa 50 petot isa.

Marami akong alagang herbs sa province kase mas gusto nila ang climate doon pati ang type of soil. (hehehehe OT na ata ito)

Another plant is the Kamuning plant which we have a lot here in Manila and the province. It's not only a mosquito repelling plant but also an alternative medicine plant.

mosquito repeller pala ang plant na to at medicinal pa? meron akong nakikitang ganito pero i would just take it for granted. but now, na alam ko na ano purpose nito, dapat alagaan na siya.

Neem tree or plant ang pagkakaalam ko....

neem tree din sa pagkakaalam ko na mosquito repelling plant. meron kami nito noon pero na repell yata siya ng mga mosquitos dahil namatay. hehe
