Orange skin brings more pests

-

I find many pests around my garden. All of these give me displeased; I don't want them to be near my plants.

I try to find way to chase them away. Natural way. I don't want to use any chemical product or technological method.

I ever heard Cambodian people, especially elder, said that skin of orange is used to chase mosquito or fly away. Suddenly, an idea pops up in my head. Why don't I use this method to protect my plants?

Don't wait. I hurriedly take skin of orange that my family peeled, to put around the pot of plants in my garden.

I keep it one night.

In the morning, when I go to check.. oh my, there are many tiny insects, smaller than mosquito, full over my pants. 

I am upset. I think what makes this happen. Later on, I remind about the skin of orange. I take them out; the pests go away.

Well, I find out.

Orange skin cannot be used to chase the pest away; in opposite, it brings more pests.

I want to show my idea related to plant and flower you should grow in house. Here they are and the reasons... 1. Pomegranate According to Khmer elder people, pomegranate is very good plant for house. It kicks bad spirit and brings luck to house's owner. There is a belief that if owner of house attend funeral, some of them may attach bad luck; therefore, when they return home, they put water in a bowl and use its small branch to spray water on body. This is to wash away the bad luck. Another reason.. it is related to scientific benefit.  The fruit is believed that it can help the memory. People that eats or drinks pomegranate juice has better memory than people that does not touch the fruit. It is very helpful especially to elder people and student. 2.

I have no knowledge related to gardening. I just follow the video from social media and I edit and I ask from elder people in my family. My sibling likes eating edible amaranth - fry or soup; therefore, I grow this one. I don't have big land yard, so I think of planting it in water. Big pot? I haven't. I have only bottle of pure drinking water. And I use it. My mother bought the plants. Then she took only the top of plants. I saw most of the plants having roots, so I took them and tried to plant them in the water. I choose plants that have big roots and look healthy. I select five plants. I pour water from sink into the bottle. I don't full, just seventy to eighty percents of the bottle only. I put one plant into one bottle. I make the root higher from bottom of the bottle.
