growing flowers/gardening

[gregorsamsa]

hey,

any one here apart from growing aquaticplants, do gardening too? As in gardening within the confines of the balcony? i know elmike does (from his pics he has a lush green balcony)

Im looking at trying to grow flowers from seeds but i do not know if it is feasible in the climate of ours?

elmike is an avid houseplanter... i make do with scrapings picked up from the nearby dump....

there's actually a good local forum for gardening here: http://www.greenculturesg.com/forum/

Good to find this thread here. I've just started growing stuff from seeds again. Got a bumper crop of petunia seedlings... Anyone wants some?

I'm currently TRYING to make a mini garden in my balcony and still learning with the plants name and their maintenance. Plants are normally bought. Yeah, perhaps may try to grow from seedlings in future.

If I may share, the pic below is taken in March this year. You can see I have two 2.5 ft tanks there. Now, there are more big plants that provide shade to the tanks from direct sunlight. So far, no algae



Currently trying to find out more about orchids.

so nice, your balcony. i tried to create "open concept" balcony w/o installing the window. after putting too many plants, i find them too messy cos my soil always managed to spill out when watering. hehe

now most of my plants in the corridor outside.

Thanx yokogi. I always like 'open concept'....and I agree with you that watering the plants will somehow dirty the balcony tiles. I usually water the tiles when the sand/dirt gets too obvious.

I have not tried 'flowering plants' just yet. Hope to do some reading on them and have some soon.....
