October's LHGC meeting has come and gone...yesterday our guest speaker, Teri from Teri's Greenhouse and Garden spoke on growing Plumerias in the full sun outside with 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and growing violets inside. Violets need indirect light inside your home to maintain little variation in temperature, and need specific containers, "porous pots inside an outer pot", to keep water consistently feeding the violets.
When propagating we learned cinnamon sprinkled on the cut edge helps prevent fungal disease and aloe vera gel from an aloe vera plant spread over the cut edge provides rooting hormones.
Favorite non-toxic, non-chemical fertilizer is fish emulsion; 4 Tbls to 2 gallons of water.
For pest control, Castille Soap & Neem Oil.
