hi everybody
A couple of months ago, i went to shoprite and bought african violets, roses and a few houseplants(this was the first time i bought plants since i came to US)...To my surprise, my husband insisted me to get something called 'plant food'(something other than water..).V had to buy even the potting soil for $4 ...As we came out, it started to rain and i had a thought 'this is the best plant food ever!'
Every morning i woke up, 'let me water my plants!'..I was very interested...As days passed by, one of my roses blossomed( remember no plant food)...I was so happy and enjoyed every moment of mine looking at it...
I had a second thought ' why not i try this plant food? will it make a difference?' So i carefully mixed plant food to water as labelled in right proportion.I constantly fueled it another three weeks- one dose every week.
That morning when i woke up, i could see a number of fresh flowers and buds( believe it or not, there were plenty).I was really happy about it.Every day i adored the flowers!(thanks to the plant food)
After a few days, i found some dry leaves in my roses....I thought, 'even roses here do shed leaves'!..Later, i learnt from an article excessive plant foods and fungicides/insecticides could spoil your plants.
I had a thought ' THOUGH ARTIFICIAL THINGS DO MAKE TREMENDOUS CHANGES, NATURE HAS THE MAGIC TO SET RIGHT EVERYTHING!' From then i never touched the plant food container!
Now i do serve my plants with the best plant food ever - water!
Today one of my roses has a flower bud, jus givin its time to blossom!!!
