I love to have tropical garden..but already my house is surrounded by a forest so I already having king cobras almost everyweek in our backyard ....so Im afraid of having a tropical garden

[@sowminiramanan5110]

I need this information

[@arlynsaracho3319]

Very good! Informative, practical, and funny!

[@randolphamos4627]

I’m curious, do you do all your gardening by yourself?

[@PinoyPlantito]

Yes...its smaller than it seem

[@jonijamessantos6791]

Tumatambay po yung mga lamok sa oregano sa amin, ganun po ba talaga?

[@PinoyPlantito]

You have to eradicate first the mosquitos kung sobrang infeated ang lugar nyo walang silbi ang repellant plants. Repellant plants are fir those mosquitos na balak maglipat bakod sa inyo. Marerepel sila o madidiscourage pumasok. Parang naiimmmune na din yan sila pag sanay na sila jan na ganun naamoy nila since pinanganak sila

[@raffytantuico6181]

But I still see mosquitoes hanging around the leaves of my oregano plants... Weird.

[@PinoyPlantito]

U have to eradicate first the resident mosquitos. Theyre used to the smell of ur plants. Mosquito repelling plants are intended as deterrence to mosquitos coming from other place whi wants to enter your garden

[@raffytantuico6181]

@@PinoyPlantito that explains it. I am planning to create some concoction with this plant and spray it all around my garden. Thanks

A little tip, keep the frogs away! Snakes love frogs, more frogs you got more snakes you've got. Honestly plants don't keep snakes away, they encourage them, all of them. I have less snakes now that I ripped the giant Epipremnum aureum "golden" off my terrace wall. It was a highway for snakes, big snakes, straight from the forest. I did plant Epipremnum aureum "neon" in it's place lol, a much nicer cooling colour that makes me less bothered about the snakes climbing up in it. In the tropics and many other places you just have to learn to live with snakes. When I walk around my garden in the rainy season there is a constant song of death as frogs in various stages of being ingested scream squeak and howl. It's reassuring as I hate pond frogs even more than snakes. Snakes also eat rats and mice. You should encourage snakes where you want them and discourage them where you don't. Discouraging means no piles of old bamboo or junk, keeping sheds snake proof and clear areas around house windows and doors but especially creepers up walls and fences are a magnet. Not all snakes are arboreal but most will use a creeper to help them get places. Encourging snakes is easy, plant dense areas near water and provide giant moist compost heaps for egg laying, make sure there are nice resting places in shady areas like upturned large pots on bricks or sheeting on bricks covered in a nice dense creeper, wood and bamboo piles are excellent even neat ones will do nicely. Don't use rat poison or you could kill your snakes. Mosquitoes are a problem so are biting flies that leave incredibly itchy red little sores all over your legs and arms. Dump all your bromeliads it's the only way to stop biting flies, these are much more itchy than mosquitoes bites and only need tiny pools of water. Most mosquitoes are incurable creatures of habit which is good because then we can avoid them. Stay indoors during dusk and dawn, these are their hunting hours. But for the odd dengue carrying Aedes specimen (tiger mosquito) hiding under you bed you might never even know you have any mosquitoes if you follow this rule. Bed nets are not only poetically romantic and lovely they're vital for keeping yourself safe. Its probably not wise to spray your garden full of chemicals and if your country is anything even half like mine is the chemical will also kill you, just a lot slower than it does a mosquito. Expect Chlorpyrifos or worse, even DDT if the government does it.

[@PinoyPlantito]

Tnx fpr the info.

[@hiyasmenmardo6075]

Thank u ma'am/sir in your Sharing about the things encourage tha snakes in the garden

[@riverp9019]

​@@hiyasmenmardo6075 No problem just call me RiverP. At this very moment I have an unusually large Chinese cobra living in my stone wall in the garden, it does bother me because I cant work in that area now. Not sure what it's doing but it's head comes out a little bit then goes back in, all day. It was catching toads two days ago in the daytime . Im positive these things are territorial because it's been hanging around for ages going back to that same hole in the stone wall. My gardener says it laid eggs in there but its not usual that they stay with the eggs. Nothing I can do but be careful. it's almost a full two meters which is huge for a Chinese Cobra, fat and oily black, very healthy. I never go around the garden at night without a torch but I always do that. Funny thing is I almost ran straight into it on the terrace when I came home from town, it got as much of fright as I did and dived for cover luckily. Would I prefer frogs? Right now yes LOL it makes me too jumpy. But it is a good reminder not to get too complacent around the place. Vertical gardening is potentially dangerous with venomous snakes around. I would say never become complacent, but if you are in-tune with your surroundings you will see snakes before they can bite you LOL but mostly they will see you you first and quietly go away, even a Chinese Cobra. Seeing them is also an honour and thrill. Never kill a snake it will always be useful to us, if it's a problem have it caught and released somewhere safe.

[@malaya8072]

@@riverp9019 I shouldn't have read this. Waaah. Currently setting up a vertical wall myself but now I am re-thinking. I hate snakes of all the animals. Just ripped my flower garden because I could not manage it by myself anymore and it has become an eyesore. The thing that attracts me most with the tropical look is that most plants are low maintenance. After reading your account, I am eliminating the water feature and will be going "modern tropical?" if there is such a thing.lol Less climbers, if I absolutely have to, stick with brighter colors. Got it. Thank u so much.
