Water Cress Plants |Tanam Kangkung

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and one minute video :) 



Tanam kangkung dalam air



Dari grocer ke tanaman




It would be nice to have vege plants in the garden. I have tried planting water cress or kangkung in the pot. It didn't grow big then I put it near the water tap to make soil damp and wet.  Even then it didn't last long. 

Last year, I tried to make squid water cress salad, or sotong kangkung as known locally, the kangkung that I bought online came with the roots. Immediately I cut the stem  3 inches away from the roots and soak in tthe water. Then, I placed it in the fish water container with  water lettuce that floats on the surface. 

Water lettuce roots are bushy, so I lifted the kangkung root near the water lettuce root. Another cut, I hanged at the nearest plant and not letting the root float above the water surface. 

I took note that the  trunk of kangkung cannot be totally soaked inside the water. 

Everyday I would come out and check whether the new shoots were coming out. Once I saw it, I know it works. It even  creeps as you can see in the picture. 

Thats all for the agroculture wrap-up :) 


Have a great evening ❤️



Dalam taman, jika ada pokok sayuran, rasa ia lebih bermakna dan bermanfaat. Itupun kalau rajin kan.. 

Pernah cuba tanam kangkung dalam pasu tidak menjadi, kurus tidak bercambah, letak di tepi pancur air agar basah dan lembab tanah juga ia tidak boleh bertahan.


Tahun lepas, kangkung yang dihantar dari pembelian online ada akar. Terus saya potong 3 inci dan letak dalam kolam ikan.  Dalam bekas ikan itu ada pokok kiambang.  Akar pokok kiambang lebat jadi saya tumpangkan akar kangkung di salah satu pokok kiambang tu. Batang kangkung tak boleh terendam dalam air, jadi biar terapung saja atas air. Ada beberapa kaedah saya letak di dalam bekas itu, salah satu kangkung saya ikat dekat pokok yang berdekatan situ.

Setiap hari datang menjenguk syukur bila nampak pucuk kangkung sudah berputik dan menjalar seperti di dalam gambar. Alhamdulillah. 


Itu saja liputan alam agro :) 


Salam  sejahtera ❤️
