Is growing cucumbers a matter of hit – miss affair for you?

Every time you attempt growing them, either the seeds simply don’t germinate or the plants end up dying eventually. But what’s worse is the feeling that you’re no good with plants.

So, you do what every hopeless gardener does - you give up.  

Not your fault:

Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) is a woody perennial herb that is mostly grown for its powerful and enticing scent. Growing patchouli plants from seed and sometimes from cuttings over the past few years has become a common practice in most parts of the world.

This comes as a result of discoveries made on various benefits associated with patchouli oil. Essential oil from patchouli plant is a natural insect repellent.

Moreover, chemical components in it have therapeutic benefits that give patchouli oil the reputation for being a grounding, soothing, and peace-inducing oil.

When it comes to wax begonia care, one question keeps popping up. Do they like sun or shade?

Well, I’ve done some research on this and as it turns out wax begonia requires more sun than shade. However, this may vary depending on specific variety types.

For example, bronze-colored leaves begonia are the most sun-tolerant of all. While tuberous begonias prefer more shade and less heat, so you’ll often see them on display in late summer.
