Indoor plants for HDB, any recommendation?

[Apollo]

I like rosemary too... which pub u met her?

[Garlic]

What conditions do they grow in?

 

This orchid has been with me for a few years and its been blooming regularly, mist roots twice a day and fertilize monthly with manure pellets, they get about 3hrs of morning sun daily.

 

 

I love herbs too.

Any reasons why you prefer not to have soil?

Cactus! minimal maintenance and cheap to buy. Can have different color also if you buy those grafted types.

 

Usual in door brightness will do, if not, just put near windows.

[Garlic]

Don't think cactus is a good idea if TS is particular about fengshui.

[Garlic]

Thanks.

 

Had previous pots which did not grow well, killed a few tru' trial and error too.

 

 

Was told by an orchid farm never to let it have direct sunlight and also not to wet the leaves and flowers as it will cause yellowing and black spots on the leaves.

 

Previously tried water soluble fertiliser and NPK pellets, manure pellets gave me the best results though it smell for a few days after application.

WorldFarm is a great place for plants, compound is huge and there are a large variety of plants at very reasonable prices.

 

They supply them to landscapers and smaller nurseries.

Is the current Garden Festival worth visiting?

 

Thank you.

It was worth the $6, went on a weekday.

Ferns might be a good idea, they like thrive in low light and nutrient conditions.

Looks like you also a orchid fan too. Interested to join the spore orchid society.

Actually, once you stay in flats or highrise and the sun doesnt shine in. Orchid that needs full sun will die eventually unless phalaenopsis,etc indoors.

 

Best stay in landed , plenty of space to play with for plants growth.

Thats the thing, I'll be moving into HDB and I observe that I can't bring what I used to have . It seems like apart from Phals, there are not many choices to me if we're just talking about Orchids.

Orchids don't need soil and soil is not a must have to grow indoor plants too. No soil also less messy .

ferns.... reminds me of wreath

[Redstorm]

Money plant.... super hardy....

 

till now, still don't understand why it is called the Money plant?

 

Regards,

 

 

It's called money plants only locally. If u search the net on this plant, u can't anywhere where it's called by this name. It's actual name is Devil's Ivy or Pothos.

[Apollo]

i hv the other type of money plant crassula ovata

 

this is also indoor, no direct sunlight and also not too wind/ water.

 

 

but this one will need soil and a tray below to collect water

 

btw, do not plant catus in ur house. they say not beri good for family relationship

Get cactus. No need so much water. So won't grow Aedes mosquito.

[Genie47]

Cactus is survivor lah. If care about fengshui, imagine what the cactus means. People around you suffer, you will thrive.

 

Ask our Dr Tony Tan. Take care of the downside and the upside will take care of itself.
