Pandan leaf plant (Cutting) 7/10 JUJUBEFORSALEINMELBOURNE1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5528 days 14hrs Comments: - The strictly tropical plant has been in my house/garden for the last 3 years. I am still testing and see how to manage this plant efficiently in term of water and temperature. I will figure it out very soon. I have tested some little plants permanently in pots but stand in saucers full of water and so far so good. Some cuttings have been in a vase of water for the last 7 months and leaves still growing slowly. I found out about this by accident and all experiments have happened indoor during winter months. However, I water this big one sparingly just in case I loose it. I bring my pots inside the kitchen when temperature during the day under 15 degrees for a week or more. Anyway, before having conclusion I must test more to make sure my theory is workable before applying the rules permanently. Conclusion: These pandan plants love water, the pot can sit in a saucer fill up with water permanently. The only trick is when the temperature is less than 15 degree celcius for a week than bring the pot inside the house somewhere bright and warm but not close to the heating point. Planted: 2007 Growing: In a Pot Qty: 6 Sun/Shade: Full Shade Pollination: No When I Fertilise: Spring Pest Control: Mealy bugs but rarely. I use fingers to go through each of the leaves to get rid of them Organic Status:Organic Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report 32 of 37 people found this review useful |
Persimon Fuju (Grafted) 10/10 JUJUBEFORSALEINMELBOURNE1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5614 days 10hrs Comments: - One of my best trees with plenty of fruits, Potash at flowering time. Mulch well. About 10% of young fruits do drop but I think it is part of the nature in thinning the crop. Fruits must be bagged otherwise they will disappear in few days due to birds. Highly recommended. Plenty of fruits as usual this year.

mandarine imperial (Grafted) 10/10 JUJUBEFORSALEINMELBOURNE1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5614 days 10hrs Comments: - Very easy to look after. Nice tree. Fruits used to be very sour until I was told to fix the problem by adding some lime and epsom salt. I have been doing it very year after that. I also found that the tree loves water when fruiting. Fruits grow to certain size then the skin continue to grow but not the inside so the fruits is not firm to touch but softer, I know it is time to pick the fruits. Normally, this tree fruits every second year, last year it had a good crop and it looks like the same as last year. Thanks to the rain we have had lately. Fruiting Months July, August, October Planted: 2003 Height 2 metres Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 10 kilograms per Year First Fruited: 1 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Autumn Pollination: Self Pollination When I Fertilise: Spring Pest Control: White flies but I do nothing.
