There is nothing better than to see a beautiful garden and does have the admiration of all the neighborhood, isn't it?

Well with our help you can achieve that now! That's a promise!

Annual flowers are a pleasure to see, they grow fast and add color to any garden.

Perennial plants need more attention so you need to choose carefully about what kind of shrubs and trees are you going to plant in your design.

Think about your garden space, rate grow of the tree or shrub of your election, if you want a natural fence for privacy or if you prefer some light coming through.

Take all in mind when you plan your garden and decide which plant species suit the best to your place.

Don't forget to add nutrients to your soil with artificial or organic fertilizer.

If you choose organic fertilizer, manure is always our first choice so dig it into the beds where you are going to plant. It is very easy to make liquid manure, just make a bag with hessian fabric, add some manure in there and put in a bucket full of water, when the water turn brown you can add this to your plants.

And of course in those hot summer days do not forget to water your plants, for best results in the evenings when the sun goes down.

Plant of the week

Saintpaulias "African Violets"

Indoor plant

African Violets are lovely little plants with beautiful different colours, they flowering in the warmer season.
African Violets have a shallow root system and are easy to pot and care.

Propagation is by rooting the leaves.
Trim the leaves and stalk with a knife to about 3 cm and put it in a container with a good moistened potting mix, for about 2 cm deep.

Cover the container with a plastic bag and keep it inside, watering if necessary.
The new little plant will come out from the leaf.

Remove part of the plastic bag, in this way the plant will adapt properly to the new environment.

Re-pot the new plant when have reached about 3 cm tall.

Watering and apply liquid fertilizer.

Plant of the week

Cyclamen persicum "Cyclamen."

Indoor plant

Cyclamen is a very decorative tuberous rooted flowering plant and produce numerous flowers in a variety of colours like white, red, mauve, purple and pink.

Care

Cyclamen enjoy cool temperature and light, but I recommend not to put it in direct sunlight.

The best way of watering is from the bottom, so is recommendable to put the pot in a shallow saucer with water and let the plant soak the water for about 10 minutes, after that time removes the pot.
