. Cocoa trees produce fruit pods at their base, which contain cocoa beans. The beans are harvested from the pods, fermented, dried, and then processed into chocolate. Cocoa trees require shade and only grow up to about 30 feet tall. Soil preparation is important prior to planting, because they don?t tolerate heavy clay or alkaline soils well; however, they do like lots of composted organic matter mixed into the soil. Applications of fertilizer are important, so plan on applying several types year-round according to the recommendations on their labels and accounting for climate and soil properties; this will help the cocoa trees to maintain optimum growth rates as well as increase yields over time. Irrigation is required in some cases but not always necessary, depending on the location. For example, in regions with marked dry seasons then irrigation may be necessary during those times, but unnecessary during other parts of the year when rainfall exceeds evaporation rates.
Cocoyam is most commonly grown for its starchy edible roots.?Colocasia?is grown for its corm which is consumed after boiling, frying or roasting. The corms can be dried and used to make flour or sliced and fried to make chips. The leaves of the plant are also edible and are usually consumed as a vegetable after cooking in dishes such as stews.?Xanthosoma species?produce tubers much like potato and are boiled, baked, steamed or fried prior to consumption. The corm of some varieties is also consumed. Young leaves are eaten as a vegetable. Basic requirements Cocoyam grows best in fertile, well-draining, sandy loam soil with a pH between 4.2?7.5.It can be grown in a wide variety of conditions including paddies in wetland areas using a system similar to that of rice. Xanthosoma species require temperatures above 21?C (69.8?F) to grow properly. Unlike Colocasia spp, they will not tolerate waterlogging and grow best in deep, well-draining loams with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 in partial shade. Cocoyam will thrive when planted in full sunlight or partial shade. The plants can survive for short periods at temperatures of 10?C (50?F) but will be damaged or killed by lower temperatures. Propagation Cocoyam is vegetatively propagated from headsetts (?tops?) or suckers which establish quickly and give the highest rate of survival. Larger headsetts and suckers tend to produce larger corms and bigger yeilds but the size of the planting material may be determined by the particular cultivar being grown e.g. some varieties will produce two heads from the same corm if the sucker that is planted is too big and therefore medium sized suckers are selected when growing tubers for export. Headsetts and suckers should only be taken from healthy plants in order to protect yields and prevent the spread of diseases. Planting Cocoyam is planted in such a way as to encourage sucker growth e.g. the use of larger plant spacing and shallow planting depths. The planting material (sucker or headsett) is set in furrows or ridges and plant spacing can be anywhere between 30 to 100 cm (11.8?39.4 in) between plants depending on the prevailing soil and climatic conditions. A narrow spacing helps to control weeds whereas a wider spacing is preferred for good growth.
Croton does best in fertile, well-drained, moist soil. They need bright, indirect light when grown indoors. Outdoors they thrive in partial shade, and in cool climates can tolerate full sun if kept moist (and are acclimated first when moved from inside). Higher light produces a more vibrant colour in the leaves and a more compact plant.
Pteris cretica, commonly known as the Cretan brake, ribbon fern, or Cretan brake fern, is an evergreen fern species belonging to the family Pteridaceae. It is native to regions in Europe, Asia, and Africa. This fern prefers moderate lighting, thriving in indirect sunlight, as direct exposure can burn its delicate leaves.
For troublesome lawn weeds. Systematic Action: Kills vegetation and roots of broad leafed weeds. Lawn Weed killer Concentrate covers up to 125m2; and targets weeds without scorching.
Robust and crisp. The vibrant green leaves of curly leaf parsley have a great depth of palate-cleansing flavour. They can withstand cooking so they are perfect for using in bouquet garni or mixed into sauces and stuffings. Scatter curl leaf parsley into herby fresh salads or try chopping finely and mashing into butter then spreading generously onto toasted bread.
The fruit of the?common custard apple?(Annona reticulata), also called sugar apple or bullock?s-heart in the?West Indies, is dark brown in colour and marked with depressions giving it a quilted appearance; its pulp is reddish yellow, sweetish, and very soft (hence the common name). Custard apple trees grow on an attractive small to medium sized tree that is similar in habit to the cherimoya. The open, spreading canopy is made up of long drooping branches that can often touch the ground. This tree offers delicious fruit and succulent soft white flesh that is delicious eaten fresh or blended into icecream or as a rich creamy drink.
Fiberglass planters are the best option if you want planters that are long-lasting, beautiful, high-quality, and low-maintenance. Though plants should take centre stage, a fibreglass planter is an excellent complement to any residential or commercial plant design.
