tientien 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2008 any1 knows where i can get a live pandang plant with all its roots in a pot? so that i can put at my doorstep n continue growing it. n wat're the tips for growing it?Thanks a million in advance do you mean those pandan leaves that are used for cooking and making kuehs? you can just buy the pandan leaves which are sold in the market, then stand the pandan leaves that you bought in water. try to buy those that still have some tiny bits of roots intact. Change the water often and after a while roots will grow and then u can plant them in soil. i read this from somewhere and it seems like a much cheaper alternative. no harm trying.

leen 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 wah!!! thank you thank you!!! wahahahahaa.. i got a NICE SURPRISE from my colleague.. she got me a pot of pandang frm malaysia her hometown! very nice of her! hahaha...but then i will still find 1 day to go visit those farm.. wanna look for those air plants tat eats insects.. my advise and advise from gardeners: these plants, as they trap insects inside them, they let the insects die in them and slowly digest them with their 'juices', and this will take a long process. so during this process of 'eating', some plants will emit bad smell. hope you think thrice and ask alot alot alot of questions to the gardeners before buying them.the bah soon pah world farm got many variety of plants.you can go to this farm also which has many variety besides selling orchid. its next to woon leng orchid farm but you can just walk over from woon leng as (i think) they are same owner.Woon Leng NurseryST56 Jalan LekarTel: 6760 1708 / 2064hope the above helps... im just been plain kpo...

leen 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 you hv to do regular maintenance. this is even more a massive job if you are staying in landed property.do once a week spray all around the hse, eg. outside windown grilles, outside door area etc. baygon or any other insect repellant which are odourless type. do it during windless day, especially gd to do it early in the morning. this is applicable when news of aedes mosquitoes report on the rise is on the news.if not, once every 2 weeks or 3 weeks will do.also remember to open those floor trap and spray into them.remove all stagnant water and clear rubbish often. rubbish include eg, fallen leaves of plants around the hse area etc.paste insect repellant or cockroaches repellent at corner of hse eg. at store rm, kitchen flr end (near to service balcony and not at cooking area), service balcony, etc. find the area which has the least sunlight, lots of moist etc. to paste these things. and change them every 3 to 4 months.pandan will not rid the insects, instead it may attract insects like spider mites etc. so if you hv plants, must get a insect repellant for plants. ask the gardener to recomend 1 that is easily spray on and not of high toxic level. DO NOT BUY those that need to be mix with water etc. coz these are highly extremely toxic and if ppl drink it accidentally or purposely, sure will die. and also the best is to spray these lightly onto plant's leaves and roots early in the morning (before 7am) and in a windless day.why i keep stressing windless day is becoz 1stly, you don't want to get these repellant into your mouth or breathe in these if they are spray in a windy day, 2ndly these will be easily evaporated away during windy days so becum useless.hope the above helps.
