Ya, sunbird have this tendency to nest in people's balcony's or garden. It happened to a friend of mine too...came to build nest one year, went away and came back the following year. Your hibiscus is still flowering then?Originally posted by a_splash:'gardening' in abit of mess, flowers not blooming much, tho we still hv some sunbird (that's what my children told me, not sure if they are right) and others coming for the hibiscus.......

The catnip plant is doing not so good now, due to infection by mealy bugs.
At one time, the 2nd batch grew to 60 cm tall. The plant is self generating if one fertilise regularly...now the 3rd batch is sprouting out. -

Do you ever have this problem? The supposedly remedy is to spray diluted neem oil mixture. -
his post count going to lose out to FI

i ever saw this white stuff moving on the plant. all i did was just spray with insecticide (those small little bottles and extremely smelly liquid which needed to add with water) and i think it works, didn't se them anymore. Recently found LOTS of crawlings that look like tiny worms crawling all over the soil when i dig them out. i used that too.Originally posted by Wanda:Now the plant is not nice...very small and maturing/flowering le...and I can't seem to get rid of the mealy bugs once and for all.

ic.....
mine are not nice cos i always forgets to water them so they lost their leaves, once in awhile hubby sympathise for the dying looking plants he would help me to water them too ......occassionally one or two hibiscus still bloom even tho i hv not been taking care much....that's the reason the birds ( sometimes tiny ones) still comes....
will be adding my collection with mosq repellent grass soon..... -

I don't use insecticide de bec I try to keep it as organic as I can...as I sometimes give the catnip leaves to the cats to play. It's like a "drug" to some cats that are sensitive to it...they sniff liao then start to roll about in a daze. I also plant cat grass for my foster cats to munch on...so I don't use insecticide.
What colour is your hibiscus flower? Red? -

ic, then how.....if don't use insecticide, the plant will 'vanish' soon...unless u can find some more organic way like inviting their predator -

Peach colour is really pretty...it's like pale orange.Originally posted by a_splash:the most common type, easiest to take care...i also hv another peach color (the shop keeper says that is hibiscus) but the 'dress' is not folded outward, if you get what i mean....
ic, then how.....if don't use insecticide, the plant will 'vanish' soon...unless u can find some more organic way like inviting their predator I went to buy the neem oil to mix with water and sprayed over the plants...so far the plants didn't die yet.
I think I can't buy new plants le, coz everytime the rainy season comes the plants (like now), there is no sunlight along the corridor and the plant starts to have problems, except the dumbcane which never die, but is so boring. The other thing is my neighbour "chope" all the good places along the corridor which can catch some sunlight..leaving me with all the shaded areas. -
ok will take a pic for u should they bloom again....Originally posted by Wanda:Peach colour is really pretty...it's like pale orange. I went to buy the neem oil to mix with water and sprayed over the plants...so far the plants didn't die yet.

maybe can find some plants that are tough with lots of water and don't need much sunlight?

Please do take that photo.
Those plants suited for indoors don't need much sunlight - but they tend to be those green leafy type of plants (e.g. dumbcane, money plant - all greens, and all leaves, and more leaves, no flowers, no fruit! )...quite boring.
With sufficient sunlight, one can plant flowering plants and different textured herbs (can be used in cooking too). -
wanda,
maybe u want to try growing this plant? i put it in the shade, that is no direct sunlight, its grows better...and can flower still.....

I used to plant mint, but due to poor sunlight conditions, the mint got mint rust and after that there is no cure liao....it will spread until all die.Originally posted by a_splash:herbs....u can plant mint (but i don't think got flowers right? , that red color leaves and stem (add color to your greeneries), rosemary?
I'd planted basil before too...but also succumbed to fungus later. Most herbs like sunny conditions to thrive. -
wah, this thread is still up..

my rose just bloom one today.....flowers getting smaller, well better than none....
till i go buy fertilizer for flowering......meanwhile must be gladful for the occassional popping of flowers here and there once a while.... -
Splashy, I think I won't buy new flowering plants for the time being...the weather isn't good nowadays and will be getting more "sun-less".
Have you got new ginger from your pot?
What soil did you use? Maybe I should chuck a chunk of ginger into a pot too. -
