Dr Saab today I won't say thanks to you but one word simply I say I adore u This episode perviously I read it and I know it by heart U are aware of nains in Chennai I thought my plants all gone for this rain Today only I went to the terrace to see my plants OMG I can't believe to my eyes all my potted plants are good and no matter logging in pots I used only light weight soil (soil less )suggested by U pots soil looks as if I have reported them recently drainage is too good In that soil great sir
The potting mix for terrace garden is fantastic...... It germinate the seeds within just 2 days .... Thanq so much for your video...... We expect more videos about terrace gardening......plz
Great video. Coco peat alters ph no matter how much you adjust the ph of your water/ feed solution. So some lime would help to keep the medium.close to a neutral ph wich is 7. This will make sure the beneficial bacteria can continue the symbiotic relationship with the roots. Great information as always. Thank you.

Thanks Mam! Leaf shedding is common in winter. I also use the same formula for neem oil. When I see pests spray once a week, then once 15 days then once monthly if all looking clean. 👍👍
This is so helpful. There are many things that are not available such as VAM, Bone Meal, Blood Meal etc. However, accidentally, I found Rock Phosphate and Dolomite in a small store and have no idea how to use them. Can I add Rock Phosphate and Dolomite to soil? Or can you tell at which stage I must add these to plant or soil? Appreciate your comments and advice. Thanks
Highly informative video👏👏👏. Can you please clarify whether light-weight or seeding mix can be continued even after the plant has grown and started flowering or do we have to change to garden soil + other ingredients ?
I like your videos for helping my roses. I also like your soil mixture video. My trouble is I have the worse draining soil issue and roses were planted there without any ground soil prep. My roots rot and the soil smells terrible, like rot. I am trying to dig out some of the soil and want to replace with one of your recipes. I see you have a few different ones. For replanting the rose bushes what one of the recipes do you recommend. I think I should add sand because as I mentioned my ground does not drain well at all. so frustrating!
renee wilson for roses they need well draining soil plus moisture retention but not compact soil for root development. You keep roses in max sunlight. 👍

@gardentips a quick question.. I have a soilless potting mix of ugaoo ...and a potting soil ... Can I mix two of these in 40-50 ratio to get same effect as universal mix along with 10 percent fertilizer ... I am just wondering if I should buy Coco peat or else use soilless potting mix rather
Hi. Most of the soil-less potting mixtures commercially available are 80% cocopeat. Just mix some 30% garden soil and some 20% compost to it. That should be fine.
Also for roof top gardening the suggestion is for cocopeat 50%, compost 30%, perlite 20%. I've created my potting mix using cocopeat 30%, vermicompost 30% and perlite 30%. Also I've made nine holes of 6mm diameter. I'm not putting any stones or gravel at the pot's bottom. Still I'm seeing that the potting mix is holding a lot of water. If I squeeze the potting mix with my hand water starts dripping from it even after an hour. I think this is too much of water. Can this result in root rot ? What alterations can I do to make a well draining but water retaining potting mix ?
Thank you for your valuable comments. I already came across the video for treating calcium deficiency. Whether gypsum can be mixed while preparing potting mix rather the solution with water. If so, how much quality is advisable for redsoil not clay nature.
Hi I stumbled upon your channel, I loved it. I am very fond of plants but mostly depended upon our mali ( Gardner) I think his knowledge is not up to date. After watching your channel I will try to give a new lease of life to my plants. I even bought lot of stuff from the nursery today to start a nutritional makeover of my plants. Will it be good to repot the plants in this season? Thanks a lot for your precice knowledge.
Thank you so much! You can repot now before the start of winter. Or wait at the onset of spring. This video might be helpful- ua-cam.com/video/8QSJcJvEWCI/v-deo.html
Thank you so much. I spent two hours today , did repotting, planted winter flower saplings. I was shocked to notice that some of my pots had either no hole or the hole was not covered ! My mali is going to have it from me. Two of my gardenia had plastic cups around the roots ! Added diluted alum, Epsom salt , bone meal neem khali and vermi.compost as per your guidelines. Though I could not process coco peat ! It's a brick ! Nevertheless , I am happy with my new venture . Letting you know , afterall it is your hard work that has given me the enthusiasm and direction ⚘
Sir , how long can we use this potting mixture for plants ? is it for few months or years ? can you specify ? After that do we need to completely change the entire gardening soil or add some nutrients etc to revitalize it? Please help me understand. I want to start a terrace garden with this mixture.
My main challenge in growing seedlings is Fungus and small ants. They just kill the plant and its so disappointing. All my efforts go down the drain. So someone told me that my potting mix was not correct. I used red soil 60%, cocopeat 30%, 5% vermi and 5% neem cake powder. No sand. Within a few days ants and fungus would come and if the plant germinated, it would die in a few days. I have tried mixing Turmeric, cinnamon powder but it hasn't helped. Hopefully with good fine sand, I will have less fungus. I don't want to use chemical pesticides yet. It will be the last resort.
Include trichoderma in your seed starting mix as a biofungicide. Also sand or soil, you dry in hot sunlight before mixing. Also check this video ua-cam.com/video/eLACnABG2LM/v-deo.html

@@GardenTips can we make the perfect potting mix and have that stored for later use. Say overthe next 15 to 30 days. Is that recommend and if yes will that be effective? Regs..
Please clear the % is by volume or by weight. I have just collected perlite, vermiculite,verrmicompost, neem compost , sand. Just thinking by volume 50% cocopeat+ 10% river sand+ 10% vermicompost+ 5% compost + 5%cow dung compost+10% perlite+ 10% vermiculite .We can not use any NPK + micronutrients for rose in the potting mix?
You can use but remember there will be nitrogen stealing process when you the husk in the process of decomposition of husk. You need to add more of regular compost to compensate nitrogen.
