Facebook Pinterest Twitter Google+ LinkedIn StumbleUponLearn How to Grow Fenugreek in your garden or containers in your balcony. Growing fenugreek is easy. This quick growing vegetable is full of nutrients. [图片][图片]Fenugreek or ‘Methi’ is native to Southwest Asia and widely cultivated for its medicinal and culinary uses. It’s an all purpose plant. Seeds are used as a spice, dried leaves as a herb, and fresh and tender leaves as a green leafy vegetable. It tastes little sweet with a touch of bitterness like mustard greens or bok choy. It can be a healthy alternative of spinach and any other greens. USDA ZONES: All the zones as a seasonal crop Difficulty: Easy Growing Season: Spring, summer, and fall (year-round in warm climates, i.e., USDA Zone 9-11) Other Names: Trigonella foenum-graecum (Scientific Name), Methi, Samudra methi, Shanbalile, Abesh, Hilbeh, Hilba, Helba, Halba, Kasturi methi Growing fenugreek is easy, whether you live in a warm climate or cool, both on grounds or in containers. You can also grow it indoors on windowsills in small pots. You can also plant it in your balcony vegetable garden or patio, terrace, and rooftop with lettuce, spinach, and other greens. How to Grow Fenugreek Create a fenugreek bed with cilantro or grow it alone. You can cultivate it from seeds. It’s easy even for beginners. Sow seeds ¼ inches deep in a good potting mix or soil in the desired spot or container when all the dangers of frost are passed, and the weather starts to warm up (for cool climate). Remember, fenugreek hates to be transplanted. Leave 2 inches of space for each plant while sowing seeds. They’ll sprout quickly, and you’ll see seedlings just within 2-5 days. Note: Buy best quality seeds from the garden center or online. You can also buy it from grocery stores or spice shops as its seeds are sold as a spice but beware of poor germination rate. You can directly sow seeds but if you’ve bought them from grocery stores, soak them overnight to increase germination rate before planting.Growing Fenugreek in Containers [图片][图片]You can grow fenugreek in containers. It’s similar to any other green vegetable. Take a shallow but wide planter at least 6-8 inches deep with good drainage. Fenugreek has shallow roots so it won’t mind the low depth. Fill the pot with rich potting mix. You can mix a 1/3 part compost or well-rotted cow or horse manure to it. Sprinkle seeds all over the pot and dust a thin quarter inch layer of soil briskly to cover them. Leave 1-2 inch of spacing between seeds. Don’t care about the spacing of seeds if you’re growing fenugreek as a microgreen. Also Read: Best Microgreens You Should Grow Growing Climate and TemperatureFenugreek grows well in a warm and hot climate when the temperature ranges from 50 to 90 F (10 C to 32 C).When planting it for seeds, grow it in spring or early summer. If you’re cultivating it to use as a vegetable or herb, then you can plant it anytime between spring to mid-fall.If you live in zone 9-11 or any warm place with frost-free winters outside the U.S., grow fenugreek year round. Also Read: Best Basil Varieties for your Kitchen Fenugreek Plant Care and RequirementsLocation Fenugreek prefers neutral to slightly alkaline soil with pH level around 6.5-8.2. Plant it in a spot that receives at least 4-5 hours of direct sun with shade in the afternoon. Prefer a sunny spot if you’re growing it in a climate where is not intense and the weather is cold. Watering Do regular watering to keep the soil slightly moist. Care not to over-water the fenugreek plant and avoid waterlogged soil. This will impede the growth and kill your plant. If you’re growing fenugreek indoors or in a shady area, be vigilant about watering. Fertilizer Fenugreek does not require a lot of fertilizer. At the time of planting, you can mix manure or compost or time-based fertilizer in the soil, and that will keep it growing for a few weeks. Also, feed the plant with balanced liquid fertilizer, every other week for more robust growth. Pests and Diseases Fenugreek does not have many pests and diseases. Some pests and diseases that affect it are aphids, powdery mildew, charcoal rot, and root rot. You can easily save your plant from these problems by using organic pesticides regularly and watering properly. Harvesting Fenugreek In favorable conditions, within 20-30 days fenugreek will be ready for the first harvest. Trim the leaves gently to use as a leafy vegetable and prepare delicious recipes or air dry it to use as a herb. Leave the twigs, which will grow up again in 15 days. You can do this up to four times. To harvest fenugreek seeds, you will have to wait for 2-4 months, depending on the growing conditions. It’s hot aroma like pepper and crunchy sour and sweet flavor gives it a distinctive taste, which you can’t compare with other vegetables. It is popularly used in Indian, Persian, Egyptian and Ethiopian cuisines, to prepare tastiest recipes. Fresh seeds are used to sprinkle on salad and dried seeds in pickles.

Tangy and sour, lemon adds flavor to every cuisine. Learn how to grow a lemon tree in a pot. Growing lemon tree is easy if you follow the requirements given below.[图片][图片]Image credit: the tree center You want to grow lemons but stop because you run out of space or you don’t grow it because you live in a colder region. If this is your plight then growing a lemon tree in a pot is a smart idea. Plant it on a patio, terrace or in indoors, and you will be bestowed by its scented flowers and soft yellow citrus fruits. You can grow it in balcony too, Meyer lemon variety is perfect for kitchen and balcony gardens, especially for non-tropical zones. Lemon Tree Varieties Growing lemon tree from seed is a bad idea because it can take up to 4 years to produce fruits. Instead, ask in local nurseries for dwarf varieties that can do well in containers. Varieties that are most suitable for containers are Improved Meyer, Lisbon Lemon, and Dwarf Eureka. However, a lemon tree doesn’t grow too big, which means you can grow almost any variety in the pot. *Buy a healthy lemon plant that is at least 3 years old, so that you don’t have to wait for it to start blooming and fruiting. How to Grow a Lemon Tree in Pot Choose a pot that is 25% bigger than the root ball of the plant. A clay pot is ideal because unlike plastic it is porous and evaporates water from sides, this helps the lemon tree to grow well as it dislikes being waterlogged. The quality and type of potting soil is an essential factor as well. For growing high yielding plants, use well draining organic potting mix. *If you’re growing a lemon tree in a balcony or any other small space, take care of its spikes, keep the plant in a corner. Requirements for Growing Lemon Tree in a Pot Repot your lemon tree in every couple of years or so at the beginning of spring (in warm climates, winter is the best season). Your pot size should be according to the scale of your tree. Avoid too large or small planters, keep in mind to use a container that is one size bigger than your previously used pot. *pH level of soil should be around 5.5 to 7 as this plant prefers slightly acidic soil to neutral soil. Sunlight All plants in the citrus family love full sun, around 7 to 8 hours of sunlight is essential. If growing lemon tree indoors, use grow lights to provide adequate lighting inside. Also Read: Growing Pomegranates in Containers Watering The lemon tree requires consistent watering to produce healthy fruits. Giving it too much or too little water can lead to blossom and fruit drop and sometimes plant may die too. Check top 2-inch layer of soil for dryness before watering. On windy and hot days, it requires more frequent watering and slightly moist soil. Humidity If you are growing a lemon tree indoors, it requires a certain humidity level to thrive, 50% is ideal. You can maintain humidity by placing it on a pebble tray or using a humidifier. Lemon Tree Care [图片][图片]If you’re growing a lemon tree in a pot in USDA Zones 8b to 11, you don’t need to care for cold that much, but below these zones, special care is needed in harsh winters. Temperature below 30°F (-1 C) is life-threatening for the lemon tree, except ‘Meyer’ lemon variety that can tolerate some cold till 24°F (-4 C). Freezing temperatures succumb these plants to death. Optimum temperature is around 50°F to 82°F (10°C to 28°C). To overwinter it, keep your potted plant indoors or in a greenhouse when the temperature falls below 35°F (2°C). Pruning and Pinching Lemon Tree Pinching encourages bushier growth, pinch growing tip when a branch is about 5 inches long. Pruning of lemon tree is best carried out when new growth starts (February – March). Be careful before pruning it, only prune diseased or dead branches because lemon stores excess food in its leaves and too much pruning can result in poor fruit crop. Also, keep looking for suckers and prune them immediately if found one. Fertilizer for Growing Lemon Tree in a Pot All plants of citrus family are heavy feeders, and lemon tree too requires fertilizer to produce juicy fruits, lush foliage, and fragrant blooms. Use special purpose citrus fertilizers for every citrus species plant, if unavailable use slow release fertilizer of NPK 12-6-6. Look for a fertilizer that contains micronutrients, especially iron, manganese, and zinc. To give boost feed to your lemon tree apply a water-soluble fertilizer once in a month in growing season. Occasionally, side dress your plant with compost or well-rotted manure. Pests and Diseases for Lemon Tree in Pot Pests like mealy bugs, spider mites, aphids, and scales occasionally attract toward it. To get rid of them organically read this article. Harvesting Harvesting time depends on the type of variety you are growing and your weather conditions. The citrus fruits stop ripening once they are off the tree. To determine if the fruit is ripened, see if the fruit is heavy, soft and yellow. Also Read: Growing Cucumbers on a Trellis Additional Tips for Growing Lemon Tree in PotKeep your lemon tree in a less windy spot as it dislikes strong winds.If moving indoors for winter or outside for summer, acclimatize it to avoid shock.You can also do grafting to get two or more varieties from the single tree.

Facebook Pinterest Twitter Google+ LinkedIn StumbleUponLearn how to grow feijoa in this article. If you live in a mild temperate or warm subtropical climate, growing feijoa (Pineapple Guava) will be really easy for you. USDA Zones— 8 to 11 Difficulty— Easy Soil pH— Slightly acidic to slightly neutral [图片][图片]Feijoa or pineapple guava is a large and attractive evergreen shrub that is native of South America. It belongs to the myrtle family (Myrtaceae) and is widely known with the name of guaiabo, pineapple guava, guavasteen. However, it is not real guava and generally grown for its ornamental values and sweet, aromatic fruits that taste like a combination of guava, pineapple, and mint. Growing Habit of Feijoa If you’re growing pineapple guava, you should know it is a slow growing shrub that can grow up to 5.5 meters (18 feet). Its edible and mildly fragrant white flowers bloom in summer. Fruits mature in 5-6 months after the flowers. These fruits have the shape of an oval, similar to chicken egg and they look like guavas with a combined flavor of pineapple, guava, and mint.  Feijoa lives long between 50 to 70 years. Despite its subtropical origin, it is resistant to some freezing temperature, although below 12 ° F (-11 ° C) the plant suffers.  How to Plant Pineapple GuavaPlant the shrub in slightly acidic soil that is rich and well drained. Pineapple guava can grow in a variety of soil types, but the plant does best in slightly acidic soil.Dig a hole that is twice in depth and width of the previous pot in which you’ve bought the plant from the nursery.Mix one part of soil with one part of compost and peat.Remove the plant from the container, loose the root ball and place the plant in the hole. Plant the plant in the depth of or slightly higher than it was planted in its previous pot.Pour the soil into the hole and gently pat the soil over the roots and around the plant.Water the growing medium around the plant carefully so that air bubbles are removed and the soil settles.Growing Feijoa in Pot If you live below USDA Zone 8 or in a more cooler climate, growing feijoa in the pot is the best option. All the growing requirements and caring tips are similar as we’ve recommended for planting on the ground. Also Read: How to Grow Dragon Fruit Requirements for Growing FeijoaLocation Make sure your plant is exposed to full sun, at least 6 hours. Grow other plants around it, to shade the base of your tree. It is resistant to some cold, drought and heat but it doesn’t grow well in a windy spot so don’t hesitate to plant it near a wall to protect it. Soil It prefers sandy soil that is rich in organic matter–loose, light and gritty. Soil should be well-drained but not too dry. While planting, add some perlite or sand in your garden soil. Fertilization Feijoas grow slowly and require the application of 8-8-8 NPK  organic fertilizer once every two months to speed up growth. The fertilizer you use should contain trace elements like copper, boron, magnesium, zinc, manganese, iron, and molybdenum. Watering Water the plant frequently, especially during the plant’s first year of growth. Established and mature plants are drought-tolerant. Still, the plant should receive an inch of water every week. Water clayey soil once a week and light soil twice a week on the ground. Reduce the amount of watering in winter and rainy season. Pineapple Guava CarePruning It is not necessary to prune feijoa, except if you want to give it a shape that suits you. You can prune your tree only at the time when there are no fruits hanging on the plant. In fall when the harvest is done, it’s an excellent time to prune it. Mulching Do mulching at the base of your tree with organic matters like straws, grass clippings, and twigs. You can also use coffee grounds. Mulching conserves the moisture content in soil, prevent weeds and insulate the plant in winter.

这一种在国外深受喜爱的植物，叫贯众蕨，一提到蕨类植物大家就会想到绿油油的不开花也不结果，跟路边的野草差不多，也没有观赏价值，其实蕨类植物有好多种类，今天给大家推荐的这款就是ins上的网红蕨类植物贯众蕨。 [图片]贯众蕨，也叫蓝星水龙骨，听名字感觉就很高级，是一种根状茎的蕨类植物，原产地在南非，是一种喜欢温暖湿润的耐热蕨，生长和适应能力很强。 [图片]贯众蕨有着独特的形态，叶片修长而且自带滤镜效果，绿色的叶片中带着少许银灰色，看上去颜色有种冷淡且又高级的感觉，近几年成为室内观赏植物，一般北欧风的风格很适合这种植物。 [图片]在室内养护也很简单，放在通风且阳光散射的的地方就可以，贯众蕨喜欢超市的环境，所以土壤需要透水透气，不要让他的根部有积水，但是北方的朋友需要注意，冬天的温度要在5度以上，而且北方冬天室内会比较干燥，可以每天喷喷水来保持空气湿润。 [图片]贯众蕨不但可以土养，也可以直接剪下来插在瓶子里水养，而且贯众蕨的水养期也很长，定期换水的话大概在2个月左右。 [图片]
