家花也娇媚

冬天外面没什么野花了，把家花捧出来欣赏一下：


君子兰--每年也开那么一二次花算是给我个交代，但开得不是很好，我基本不怎么管她，想起来了去浇点水，对她有点亏欠，明天上点肥料，呵呵。


茉莉花--整个夏天都在室外，花开得一波接着一波，天冷了只能搬进室内，摸摸土面有点干了，浇点水，有时候叶子会有干枯，应该没什么大问题，因为也有嫩枝在冒出来。
遗憾的是抱回来上面有多瓣花，让我养了2年，只有单瓣的了。。。



茉莉嫩芽---经常冒点小嫩枝出来，还开那么几小朵花自己臭美一番~~


昙花---只有叶子没有花~~


芦荟---可以吃了，呵呵，看看边上冒出的小苗，明年又泛滥成灾了~~


新来的客人：Table Top Palm - Neathe bella - Chamaedorea elegans 'Bella'

种植小TIP ZT：
The Number #1 problem in caring for the Neanthe 'Bella' palm is overwatering.

Plants that are sitting in saucers full of water or are plants overwatered and never allowing the soil to dry, lead to root rot. Leaf tips and fronds turn yellow, leaves may drop, and new growth will come out pale yellow.

Underwatered plants will often have brown tips, new growth will be pale and older fronds may yellow.

SO WHEN IS THE TIME TO WATER?

Wait until the soil has dried down about half the soil depth. When you water, thoroughly water the soil evenly making sure the soil and roots have all had a good drink. One reason I like to water from below!

DO NOT let the plant sit in water!!!

The Number #1 pest problem is spider mites. Look for clean plants to begin with.

Do not prune the 'Bella' palm as you would other plants. It grows from a main stem, and the leaflets should be "tipped" or the leaf itself removed. 

If you're looking for a low light palm that is also an accent plant check out the Chamaedorea elegans 'Bella' palm, just be careful not to over water and "patrol" for any pest。
