Her family’s terrace covers an area of ​​100 square meters. In addition to planting 30 tomato plants for fruit continuously, Ms. Loan also grows cucumbers, melons, melon, bitter melon, vegetables and some fruit trees. Tools to plant Ms. Loan’s trees are old water tanks, foam barrels, old pots bought from the bottle yard. To keep the terrace clean and not heavy, Ms. Loan uses 20% of the cultivated land and 80% of the substrate (coir, ash, rice husks, manure, and waste) to grow trees. Ms. Loan started planting 30 tomato plants since September 2020. Trees are always fruitful. Sometimes, Ms. Loan harvested 40-50kg of tomatoes. She had to bring it to her friends and relatives if she could not eat it all. “After I harvested the ripe fruit, I applied fertilizer to the stump, 10 days after the fruit was ripe, I continued to harvest,” Ms. Loan said. She also planted strawberry trees on the terrace. Currently, the tree is ripe fruit. According to Ms. Loan, to have a green garden with high productivity requires gardeners to be experienced, diligent to explore and have a love for trees. In addition, growers must visit the tree every day to see if the plant is sick, has root rot or stem rot. “Caring for trees is like taking care of children. One day I did not visit, the tree was sick, ”said the woman from Vinh Long. Loan’s son is helping his mother to harvest ripe tomatoes. Melon trees and melon fruit. Loan said that to grow these fruit trees, it takes a lot of care and requires growers to have the techniques and characteristics of the tree. Her secret to growing a lush, fruit-bearing garden on her terrace is to use organic fertilizers and insecticides made by herself. As for insect repellent, Ms. Loan is made from waterpipe tobacco soaked with alcohol, incubated for 5-7 days and then watered for the plants. As for fertilizers, she uses soybean residue, spoiled bananas, eggshell, and kitchen waste to make compost. Using these types of waste as compost not only helps to provide enough nutrients for the plant, but also helps the tree produce more fruit, beautiful color, succulent, sweet. The next step in this woman’s rooftop gardening is to treat the soil before planting. “Treating the soil to get rid of germs is already 50% successful in gardening,” she said. Her soil treatment process is to mix soil, coir, ash, rice husks, manure … with powdered lime, eggshell, chicken manure, and dried soil, then plant trees. The grower must also provide the plant with sufficient water at all times. In addition, the gardener must apply fertilizer at the right stage of plant development, otherwise it will harm the plant.

Pham Trung Kien and his wife took a photo with a small guava tree with many fruits. The terrace is just over 7m2, but he still makes use of it to grow vegetables and fruit trees. In order for the garden to grow many different types of trees, Mr. Kien designed a climbing platform and then used foam boxes, plastic tanks … to plant trees. In the photo is a gourd frame with fruit. Mr. Kien said that the most difficult thing about planting trees on the terrace is to transport the soil. Moreover, houses are close to each other, so he has to go to the coastal areas or to neighboring provinces to get land. After that, he composted the soil with ash, rice husks, coco coir together with vermi-compost, cow and chicken manure, etc., and put it in a barrel to plant trees. According to Mr. Kien, planting trees on the terrace or on the ground, plant nutrition is the most important thing. In order for the tree to develop well, produce lots of fruit and be delicious, in addition to using organic fertilizers, he also uses skin and fish bones to fertilize the tree. Mr. Kien uses the head, skin, bones … of the squash fish because this fish often has less odor, fishy, ​​to fertilize the plants. Mr. Kien also came up with a way to mix the soil according to his own recipe. Accordingly, he mixed 50-60% of soil and meat with organic fertilizer. “The soil mixed with the organic fertilizer will be mixed with the fish again according to the ratio: 1 layer of soil, 1 layer of skin, bones, fish head. We do that 2-3 layers, then planting any tree is fine”, he to speak. The secret of this man when planting plants on the terrace is to plant seedlings in small pots first. When the plant begins to grow, he will switch the plant to a large pot so that it can easily absorb nutrients from the soil. Then, every day, he watered the tree 2 times. When the plants flower, every 10-20 days, he will add 2-4 tablespoons of bat manure and manure for fruit trees. Mr. Kien also cut off small, bad branches to create conditions for the plump branches to grow. As for guava trees, he often pruned the branches, not to let the branches get too high, each branch cut 2-4 pairs of leaves … so that the tree focused on raising flowers and fruit. Thanks to this secret, whatever he grows, he has a phylum fruit. “There is no entertainment as cheap as planting trees around the house. It feels great to plant, take care of the trees by yourself, and get your own results. It’s more fun when the fruits you grow are not using chemicals.” , Mr. Kien shared. The apples are juicy, crispy and sweet. Knowing that Mr. Kien planted trees on the terrace with good yield, many people came to visit and learn from experience.

The rose garden on the roof of Mr. Long makes everyone excited. Rose garden on the roof burned burning In the middle of high-rise buildings, dry cement walls, rose gardens are always brilliant with flowers of Mr. Nguyen Van Long (60 years old, living in Ho Nai ward, Bien Hoa city, Dong Nai province), making many people like animal. In particular, more than 100 of his rose pots are placed directly on the burning iron roof on hot sunny days. Mr. Long said he initially planted this flower on his porch. However, due to lack of sun, roses are stunted, giving little flowers, not beautiful. Mr. Long turned his 42-square-meter metal roof into a garden with more than 40 different varieties of roses. After many studies, he decided to reinforce the corrugated iron roof on the 42m2 house and move more than 100 pink pots to the roof. On sunny days, at noon, iron absorbs heat, the temperature is so high that it is impossible to walk barefoot. Therefore, many people said that bringing flowers to the roof of the iron is like “burning a tree”. Afraid of hot metal roofs and dead trees, Mr. Long used bricks to line the bottom of the pots. However, without enough bricks, he placed a number of pots directly on the corrugated iron roof. Although placed directly on the burning iron roof, Mr. Long’s rose pots are still lush, giving beautiful flowers. After a month, he saw trees laid on bricks and placed directly on the same growing corrugated iron roof. Hundreds of rose pots still sprout, blooming fragrant flowers. Finally, he removed all the tiles, leaving all the trees on the roof. Letting the rose pots on the roof burn live, develop, and give flowers brilliantly like now is a process of learning and testing by a man in Dong Nai. He shared: “Many people think that plants should not be watered at noon because the soil is very hot right now. Watering is like boiling the roots of a plant. However, when the outdoor temperature is high, when I visit the garden, I see that the buds of flowers and young shoots all drop their heads and droop. In order to prevent the flowers from being damaged by the harsh sun, Mr. Long designed a roof for the rose pots. “Knowing the soil in the pot was too hot, I decided to water it. When watering, do not be cautious but must water quickly, with a lot of water. More water is enough to bring down the temperature in the soil quickly. If watering is dripping, slowly the amount of water is not enough to reduce the temperature, the roots are susceptible to heat shock, leading to plant death, ”he added. Currently, more than 40 types of roses are healthy for beautiful flowers every day on the roof. The roses in the garden were so many and beautiful that, every day, his wife would pick flowers to place and decorate the house. The rest of the flowers, she used as essential oil, braised tea to drink, even mixed in warm water to bathe … According to Mr. Long, the technique of growing flowers on the metal roof is to know how to water the flowers at noon. Every day, Mr. Long and his wife go to the roof to take care of and watch the flowers. This man shared that he planted roses to give his wife and remembrance of the beautiful memories of the two of them when they first fell in love. Want to surprise his wife Mr. Long said: “Before, thanks to this flower, I got to my wife now. When I first met, I was very poor, could not afford to buy gifts for my lover. Each time I visit, I can only afford a bouquet of roses for her. Mr. Long planted roses as a gift to his wife. Later, when he became a couple, Mr. Long still remembers his youthful days. He always wanted to surprise his wife, evoke new memories of loving each other. Once his wife returned to his hometown, alone at home, Mr. Long walked through the spots selling ornamental plants to see the flowers for relief. Here, he was fascinated by the pots of pink velvet Sa Dec. This man bought 4 stumps and planted them in an existing pot at home and took the flowers to the balcony to take care of them. In addition to planting on the corrugated iron roof, he also placed rose pots in front of the railing so that his wife could watch and enjoy the scent of this flower while at home. Returning to the city after his trip back to his hometown, his wife was surprised and delighted by the bright and fragrant roses. Knowing his wife likes, he decided to tinker, plant more roses to give her. He said: “The first flowers, the flowers bloom beautifully, but then the plants are stunted, giving flowers to small, thin flowers. After a year of research and research, I found my own rose-growing medium mixing recipe. My substrate includes: Tribat soil, rice husk, coir, worms “. Mr. Long’s wife loves the rose garden very much. She often picks flowers for indoor decoration. “In the dry season, I add coir fiber, less husk to keep moisture, in rainy season add more husk, less coir for good drainage. I do not mix cow manure because it is hot, newly planted plants are weak and cannot be absorbed, so it is easy to die. When the plants flower, after pruning, add more fish protein, completely do not use chemical fertilizers “, he added. Mr. Long said that planting and tending the flower garden took up almost all of his spare time. To have a beautiful flower garden, he had to tinker and do research on his own to learn from experience. Mr. Long’s wife also mastered the techniques of flower multiplication by extracting and grafting plants. Currently, he not only “tames” exotic and precious roses but also makes his flowers bloom at the same time dense and bloom at the same time. “This depends on the technique of pruning the branches after flowering,” he said. “My experience is not to regret but to prune buds, cut off sick branches and pests so that plants can focus on nutrition to nurture healthy branches”, Mr. Long shared. The gardening work occupies almost all of his spare time. However, he said he is happy to be able to create a green, colorful space right on the roof. In addition to the day care time, at night, Mr. Long also has to turn on the leaf-line light to search deeply. Many kinds of worms during the day go deep into the soil, and at night they climb to the leafy trees. Therefore, at night, he had to climb onto the roof of the metal roof, his head wore a bright frog light to trace each leaf to find and catch pests. Mr. Long’s wife also surprised him by multiplying, grafting and extracting to create new rose stems with unique beauty. Currently, she has successfully propagated many types of persimmons by extracting branches. Every day, Mr. Long and his wife enjoy the life of the roses planted by his own hands. In particular, she successfully grafted Molinuex woody persimmon tree (yellow flower) and Blue Sky bush rose (purple flower) to produce a unique 2-color rose base. Every day, the two grandparents still together go to the roof to take care of the flower garden and watch their achievements in happiness.

As an orchid enthusiast, Mr. Duy Trong Hai does not hesitate to spend time and money to research on this beautiful plant, from how to distinguish orchids, how to choose to care for spreads. star. Owner Duy Trong Hai shared “Many people play orchids, some people play a few pots to embellish the house, some people are more passionate then plant a garden with a variety of species. flower , so but Common point they are all love, the passion intended for this bonsai. For beautiful orchid pots, Orchids players must have certain knowledge of planting techniques and care for orchids to live healthy and flower beautifully ” Currently there are many different species of orchids, but beginners should choose orchids that are easy to grow, have high adaptability such as orchids, Dendrobium or Dendrobium. Growers can select orchid seeds extracted from large pots of orchids. When separating germs, use a knife that has been disinfected with alcohol and then lime on the cut on the stem to quickly heal the scar. Or if the player buys orchids that are fully developed, they should choose those with well-developed roots, big, strong trees, green leaves and free from pests and diseases. According to the owner Duy Trong Hai, terracotta pots with many openings will help orchids grow and absorb nutrients better. For the substrate, growers should choose those with high porosity, lightness and moisture-retaining ability such as coir, wood charcoal, peanut shell. For coconut fiber should be shredded and soaked for about 1 week to reduce salinity and tannins. Coconut shell and wood charcoal are cut into small pieces about 1x2x3 and then soaked, especially with coconut shells should soak in lime water to eliminate pathogens, after soaking wood charcoal, wash and dry. With new orchid pots, you should keep a cool place – a day to let the plants get used to the climatic conditions, but if the price in the pot shows signs of mold, you should replace the new pot immediately for the orchid. Use a pre-prepared orchid pot, add the substrate to the rule of large substrate, then put it on the bottom of the pot, followed by medium and small. Note that the amount of substrate in the pot is always 1-2 inches lower than the mouth of the pot. When planting, do not put the stump close to the perineum, making the roots more susceptible to waterlogging or not too shallow, making it difficult to absorb nutrients. On the face should be covered with a layer of coconut fiber or giant to keep the plants moist. Orchids are hygroscopic plants, so the habitat of orchids must always ensure humidity, light, ventilation, so that orchids can grow healthy. For players with a lot of land like Mr. Hai, it is advisable to do with a large scale, design the orchid and the surrounding frame with sturdy iron pipes, ensuring resistance to storms. Especially choose to plant near ponds, rivers, or places with good water sources so that the orchid’s habitat maintains moisture, and is cool. Conversely, if the player lives in an urban area, there is no garden to grow orchids, you can choose a balcony or terrace. Owner Duy Trong Hai shared more “Due to the influence of the design of concrete and corrugated iron roofs, the terrace is a place where a lot of sun and wind is concentrated, leading to easy wilting and drying of the orchid tree.” . Growers should add a mesh cover above and the direction of the sunset or maybe to add other pots around the orchid such as mulberry, laurel, which is both a shield for the orchid and more beautiful for the yard. upper. Growing and caring for orchids is an elegant pastime for these lovely tree lovers like Mr. Hai and millions of others.
