While Growing flowering plants and herbs is so good, Apart from the works and stress put together making the plants survive, another problem is the constant attack of pests and insects.
I was left fuming and frustrated upon seeing my hibiscus tea plant this morning. As insects attacked the leaves and eat it deep.
The Hibiscus tea plant is one i cannot do without For reasons obvious, mostly for its nutrients and medicinal importance.
Apart from malaria that keeps spreading like a wildfire in africa and kills fast, another ailment common is hypertension common among aging people, coupled with the poverty rate, people cannot afford modern and industrial medications, people then turn to herbs so as to manage this ailment and one thing so common in homes is to see people growing different herbs at the yard.
- Part of the herbs i grow in my yard is the hibiscus tea plant because of its numerous importance, apart from being a rich source of VITAMIN C, taken as beverages, it also helps cure hypertension sydrome, that is, regulates blood pressure. People do come from neighborhood to ask and pluck the plant.
- personally I don't like spraying my veggies with chemicals because i consider it dangerous for consumption especially herbs, because some of these herbs are not properly cooked or not cooked at all so as not to lose its nutrients.
On getting to my garden early morning today,i could still see some insects hiding in the flowers as planted in my mobile seedbed and has got me confused as to what I could do to stop the pest and insects from further damages.
Considering the fact that it wasnt like this the last time i checked on it in the garden, I'm wondering if its the flower that is attracting those insects, its 6weeks since i planted
