Re: My one year old Garden....
the trick for croton is 3-4 hrs of sunshine, place it in a lesser windy and chilled place....if it survives one harsh winter then it will survive altogether....will post more photos later...UMARKHANMARDAN wrote:i love Crotons so much but they do not survive here.anther plant i like is Khalifa which also does not survive the winters.Palms are so beautiful real tropical kings.

For you blueberry plant, ammonium sulfate is the best fertilizer for supply of nitrogen and sulfur.. use it after winters when the plant is forming new buds... it makes the soil acidic which is a must for blueberry plant..

Yes it can be used in other plants as well... 1-2 table spoon dissolved in 10 liters of water.. irrigate your plants weekly with this solution..
