cococandy: Its absolutely lovely. You are lucky u hv d ease in assembling some of these stuff. Perhaps I don't know where to get simple stuff in lag but sometimes its so much drama for little stuff. Say like identical flower pots at a fair price. I didn't even know where to get them in d first place. I finally had to reach out to a family member who got me simple rubber pots from poundland. I got that little hanging basket too. I'll share some pics really soon. |

stonecoldcafe: They have them abundantly in Lagos. There is somewhere in Ikoyi close to Falomo (right on the road) that sells pots and almost all the professional gardeners sell hanging baskets. I read up online that the brown straw in the hanging basket is actually coconut coir (the outer part of coconut). But it is cheaper to buy the small pots from Poundland (because they sell them for silly prices in Lagos). The bigger flower pots are made in Nigeria so they are cheaper. I started the thread so we could all help with supplies and stuff and ideas too. 2 Likes 1 Share |

cococandy: Well done! As per the Jade plant, it's a succulent so it doesn't require much humidity. So put it in an open terrarium and don't water too much. I should do a post on succulents o. We have Jade plant in Nigeria even. |

I got the pebbles, shells, one glass pot and the white crushed rocks from the dollar store. A dollar per bag. Small bag. More like a satchel. But it was enough for two terraniums. I was pleasantly surprised. Now I'll be visiting there to get me some decorative stones as well. I never knew one could find useful stuff there. But the plants I got from a different store. As for the other pot, I used an old storage glass jar. I just removed the lid and used nail polish to paint the screw part of the jar neck so it won't be obvious.. You can always improvise. Next one I'll do I plan to include old marmalade jars and stuff like that. stonecoldcafe: |

Absolutely lovely. Coco, you can definitely put this together for someone as per business levels, I daresay. Well today is my flower day so i'm sneaking some time off to do this. Its more of a cry for help for me especially for one plant. There is this thing that reminds me of a white ghost walker invading my plant. I think its some sort of disease but the poor plant keeps fighting for survival. It still brings out leaves but its flowers are soooooo small and these days it does not come out again. Anyone who knows how i can kill off this white thing growing on my wee plant? I believe this plant is the Bachelor's Button. It has lovely purple small flowers like that one 3 Likes

My attempt at planting small stuff. The first pot is my spring onions. I've taken it to somewhere cooler now. The next is onions and the third pepper. Someone told me the onion wont grow, that's okay though. I'm more concerned about the pepper instead. 1 Like

Hi everybody. I'm looking for a specific type of fertilizer for my plants that lack micronutrients. It's iron chelate. If you know where I can buy it or atleast know a company that I can ask, please let me know |

For now 1kg is ok. Most importantly I needed to know that I can find it in Nigeria. Can u pass the company contact and location? Thank you |
Re: The Hibiscus Flower Society: Calling All Gardeners, Flower Lovers Etc by Onegai(f): 10:43am On Jul 30, 2016 |
oriaburefarms: Hmm, 1kg is pretty small for the 2 companies I know who produce fertiliser. I can't pass on their contact info but I'll ask them for whom you can meet to buy retail. |

Hello everyone, glad to be a part of this community. I have been reading silently for a while now. I have decided to become active. I salute everyone for the great work. Is any one composting? Onegai: |

I finally planted the spring onions in a tea cup but after 2weeks it began to dry up at the tip. Please is it normal/ @onegai |
Re: The Hibiscus Flower Society: Calling All Gardeners, Flower Lovers Etc by Onegai(f): 9:15pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
Rhukie: It takes 3 weeks to mature. Is it in the shade and getting water? |
Re: The Hibiscus Flower Society: Calling All Gardeners, Flower Lovers Etc by Onegai(f): 9:16pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
frugalandnatura: Welcome! I'm not composting (No space) but please share your tips and techniques, with pics. |
Re: The Hibiscus Flower Society: Calling All Gardeners, Flower Lovers Etc by Rhukie(f): 9:28pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
It is in a shade but it is the water I planted it with at the beginning that is still in it Onegai: |
Re: The Hibiscus Flower Society: Calling All Gardeners, Flower Lovers Etc by Onegai(f): 9:46pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
Rhukie: Put it in soil. It needs more nutrients. If you put it in soil and add a banana peel inside the soil, it should be fine. |
Re: The Hibiscus Flower Society: Calling All Gardeners, Flower Lovers Etc by Rhukie(f): 7:12am On Aug 16, 2016 |
Onegai:I'll give it a trial |
Re: The Hibiscus Flower Society: Calling All Gardeners, Flower Lovers Etc by touchmeder: 2:22pm On Aug 16, 2016 |
Onegai: Good old baking soda in a spritz bottle. I misted the plant with more emphasis on where the white plage was, the stalk and under the leaves. Loads of rain fell too just before i did this. I think the combination of both helped. |
