Fish Fertilizer

How to: Just add 1 kg of sugar to 1 kg of fresh or unwanted fish (cut into some part). Ferment them for 1 month. In between, open the lid weekly or daily for better fermentation and the growth of good microorganism. That's it. :)

It will smell like rotten mango but not fishy smell~ No offensive odor~ And please don't worry about the worms will born inside or not as if you clean the fish thoroughly. It seems not a scary stuff to do by yourself, please be open minded. It is very good for plant. It acts as a booster and organic pesticide to plant. It may cost about RM1X/2X.00 if you buy from the shop... But jz cost me below RM5 as it is made by myself instead!

My new 5 cute plant~

They are so called cactus~

How to propagate nepenthes

Many people may ask about the way how to propagate the nepenthes, and which is the easiest one, as so, I will share out some efficient and the easiest way what I have done from my experience...

Method 1: Water Propagation

Difficulty: 2/5
Time needed: 1-2 months

How to: Just cut down a few sets of stem from your matured / overgrowth plant, inclusive 3 nodes in a section, cut off 1/2 of the leaf to preserve energy, then put them into the clean water. After every week of water changing, about 1-2 months you may see your stem sprout with new nodes and new rootlets. Just plant them into sphagnum moss after their rootlets become established.
