A Peak into my {Future-In-Law's} Garden

Have you ever seen a tropical garden?

The tips below were given by my future {m-i-l} 

& boy, does she know her plants!

:: Welcome to the Diaz Family Garden ::

 

 

 {Coconut Tree}

Fertilize 2x a year  .  Needs to be placed in full sun

Produces coconuts 1x a year  .  Trim when leaves droop

 

{Agave}

Can be grown in a pot or in soil  .  Don't trim  

  Fertilize 2x a year  .  Only requires rain water

 

 {Bromeliad)

Self reproducing plant  .  Mother plant will eventually die

Blooms 1x a year  .  Full sun  .  Only requires rain water

{Bougainvillea}

Trim & Fertilize every 2 months  .  Blooms 3-4 times a year

Full sun  .   Only requires rain water

.....................

Notice a trend with these plants? They are pretty independent & low maintenance.

Their favorite fertilizer is Vigoro Palms & Ixoras.

{The bag tells how much to add based on the age & size of the plant}

God is such a magnificent artist {leaves me in awe}.

Isn't it amazing how He lets us participate in His creation?!

I hope their garden inspires you to create one of your own!
