My roof top container garden

Welcome back everyone! I find the coleus plant very fascinating. The plant comes in a variety of colors and with varied leaf shapes and sizes. These plants add a lot of color in the garden. I also find these plants to be easy growers. They just need a normal potting media, for me it's just soil and cow dung manure mixed in a 2:1 ratio. They love mild sunlight and they do good if kept in partial shade and a lot of water. I hardly find any kind of pest attacks or diseases in these plants. They propagate very easily either by seeds or by steam cuttings. The plant grows a stalk at the epical bud and the stalk bears tiny flowers, if they are allowed to be left on the plant itself then they bear very tiny seeds. One can easily collect these seeds for further propagation. Sowing the plant from seed is also a very easy task. Most of the time I find these plants self seeding and populating the containers with tiny coleus plantlets. I have few coleus plants in my roof top container gard...

The chrysanthemums are the best addition to a winter garden. They have varieties of blooms with vivid color and fragrant flowers. Chrysanthemums are pretty tough and can thrive on there own. chrysanthemums plants are just about the easiest of all of the perennials to grow. These plants generally do well if planted in a sunny location, lots of air circulation and well drained soil.  I have many potted chrysanthemums in my rooftop garden, and in this part of the year they have come up with flowering buds. I am just waiting for the buds to bloom.  I would like to share some of the clicks from my garden. Hope you enjoyed the post. Do not forget to share your valuable comments. Will definitely join you in my next post. Till then happy gardening !
