Plant for pot

Post by Feras »

Aoa Respected members.I need advice from you.my child got summer vacations homework to sow a plant and bring it to school after vacations.Please help me which plant should we get that gives good grown stem,leaves,flowers and if we sow plant of small size now‎ will it grow up enough to have leaves,flowers till 15th August.
By the way I already brought Niazbo plant in pot but it is more like a herb.
Please give your valuable advice.I will be very grateful to you.

Get some plants of Vinca, they have tendency to die if exposed to heavy rains but some may survive and still be in bloom in August.
The other is Cocks comb it is easy to grow and would be there in flower in August.
Thanks for the massage
regards
Arif

As suggested by a brother I think Balsam is a beautiful plant too with good looking stem,leaves,flowers and grows fast,flowers in august.
Please tell me should I put Niazbo pot in sun or under shade and is it watered once daily or twice daily?

In my opinion local Vinca (Sadda Bahhar) would be best for the school project of your child.

My Niazbo plant has grown up now but still no flowers on it,when I bought people told me it gives flowers in august.
Problem of leaf miners resolved after I removed effected leaves 2-3 times.
Please tell should I transfer grown up plant to a bigger sized container?

Yes you can transfer it to bigger pot, pinch the tips of plant to make it more bushy..
