How to Pot Plants 1: Avocado

-
my avocado plants in water currently

 Welcome back to my blog, guys. I hope you are all doing fine. Lately, I made an avocado video in my Instagram account, but I didn't show you yet how to pot the plant. However, some people keep their avocado continuously in water. It's a good idea, but don't forget to change or clean the water regularly to avoid algae.
I usually keep my avocados in the water until they develop big leaves, as you can see in the picture. After that, I put them in a substrate. So far, it is the biggest avocado plant that I have.
In this article, I will show you how to pot an avocado plant, and I will explain it to you step by step. I already prepared the plant potting mat, water, and the substrate for the avocado. Finally, I can put all pieces of stuff on the plant potting mat, so that the dirt can be gathered together in there. It makes the work and cleaning easier.

Step 1
Take the avocado from the bottle carefully.











Step 2
Put a quarter of the substrate in the plant pot. This time, I have chosen expanded clay. Avocado plants love substrate that has good drainage. Other substrates you can use are soil mixed with perlite and sand, or plant granulate.




Step 3
Put the avocado plant into the substrate you have chosen. Fill the pot with the substrate little by little until it covers the top line of the plant pot.









Step 4
Water your avocado plant.

That's it. Very simple, right?
Neither plant granulate nor expanded clay has nutrients. So, don't forget to give your avocado plant some fertilizer during spring and summer. In winter, they are resting. I also wrote an article about growing avocado from seeds. If you want to know more about avocados, you can check here.
I hope you enjoyed my article.
Stay healthy! Xoxo, Rita

P.S.: Sadly, my Monstera didn't survive. However, I still have one little Monstera. I hope the pests don't attack it. I also wrote about plant pests, if you want to learn more, click here.

Have fun with the Tempe recipe. I hope you enjoy the dish ;) Happy cooking!

Weekly Market

the elder lady was very nice, I took the picture in 2016 When I was in my hometown, my family and I would often visit the weekly market nearby, just a 10-minute walk away. As a kid, the excitement of going there, regardless of whether I bought anything, always filled me with joy. The journey to the market was particularly enjoyable, especially the path through the lush green rice fields. Occasionally, I'd spot plants being devoured by numerous caterpillars, a sight I had to avoid due to my fear of them. the view to the traditional market near me Once we passed the green rice fields, the entrance to the market would come into view. Numerous vendors lined the market, offering a variety of goods, fresh produce from local farmers, fashion items, music, and more. During my visits, I'd often indulge in fresh juice or traditional Indonesian sweets. Sometimes, I'd run into friends or family unexpectedly, and we'd head back home together. If I accompanied my mom, we'd often

A Letter to Widji Thukul

This post was first published in Indonesian on January 30th, 2019, click  here !  Widji …  You have made a huge impact! Your words will never ever be forgotten. Your spirit will live on in the lives of many Indonesians that want change. Two weeks ago, on that night, my friends and I had the opportunity to read out your poems and watch your movie, ‘’Istirahatlah Kata-Kata’’ (Solo, Solitude) based on you and your sojourn where it indeed did not depict any violence.  Nevertheless, the words you expressed in your poems moved me to tears. When the movie was nearly finished, although, tears were running down my face, I refused to go to the bathroom because immediately my friends and I were about to read out your poems to many people after the movie ended. That’s why I didn’t want to wipe the mascara on my eyelashes. I would probably look like a black-eyed ghost if I wipe my eyes. I’m indeed foolish at times. Finally, we went to front and prepared ourselves to read your
