Reward Of Planting Any Plant
"REWARD OF PLANTING ANY PLANT" ✦
It is narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:
► "If any Muslim plants any plant and a human being or an animal eats of it, he will be rewarded as if he had given that much in charity." [Sahih Al Bukhari, Vol. 8, Book of Good Manners, Hadith No. 6012]

Mawar Di Tamanku..
Hari ini memperbanyak tanaman mawar di taman, supaya tambah cantik dan penuh. Caranya dengan memotong batang mawar, buang daunnya dan duri-durinya, kemudian ditancapkan di dalam tanah. lama kelamaan akan timbul daun-daun baru yang menandakan bahwa tanaman tersebut berhasil hidup menjadi tanaman mawar yang baru dengan warna bunga yang nantinya sama dengan biangnya.
Sedikit demi sedikit potongan batang-batang mawar tersebut aku tancapkan di sepanjang pagar rumah dengan harapan ketika mawar-mawar tersebut tumbuh dan membesar, bunga-bunganya akan terlihat cantik di sana.

Butterflies, with their gorgeous colors and lilting flight, are such a joy to watch. They add so much beauty to our summers, like seeing flowers flying. It’s easy to invite more butterflies to make a seasonal stop in your yard. Find out which plants they just can’t resist—and learn a few fun facts about butterflies that you may not know. Here are 20 plants that will invite butterflies to your yard!
Asters: Late summer to fall.
Bee balm (bergamot): Summer through fall.
Butterfly weed: Summer through fall.
Clover (white or red): Summer to fall.
Coreopsis: Summer to fall.
Dianthus: Spring to fall.
Lavender: Summer.
Lupine: Late spring to early summer.
Mints: All summer.
Passionflower: Summer to fall.
Phlox: Summer to fall.
Purple coneflower: Summer to fall.
Sage: Summer to fall.
Salvia: Summer to fall.
Scabiosa “Butterfly blue”: Summer through fall.
Shasta daisy: Summer.
Thistle: Late spring through fall.
Violet: Spring.
Yarrow: Summer.
Butterfly Mythbusters
Have you ever heard that if you touch a butterfly, you’ll rub off the powder from its wings, and it will die? Or that if a butterfly gets a drop of water on it, it will drown? Ever hear that a torn or broken butterfly wing will grow back? And everyone knows that all butterflies go to Mexico for the winter, right? Actually, none of these statements is true! A lot of myths like these were probably started with the best intentions, so that people wouldn’t harm butterflies.
The truth is that butterflies have evolved to survive and thrive in extreme conditions. They exist everywhere in the world except for Antarctica. Butterflies are definitely stronger than they look: Many species migrate thousands of miles every year, and not just to Mexico!

Pupuk Dapur
Kalau blogger punya taman dan hobby dengan tanaman hias atau sayur-sayuran, ada cara yang paling murah meriah untuk merawat tanaman kesayangan kita. Nih aku kasih sedikit tips yang aku tahu mengenai pupuk dapur. Dari pada kita membeli pupuk kimia, lebih baik kita gunakan saja sampah dari dapur kita. Contohnya telur, kalau blogger selesai memakai telur kulitnya jangan dibuang..taruh saja di dalam kantong plastik khusus. Kumpulkan hingga agak banyak, kemudian dijemur hingga kering. Jika sudah kering, bisa dihaluskan dengan blender baru kemudian ditabur ke pot tanaman kesayangan kita. Selain telur, ampas teh dan teh celup juga bisa lho dijadikan pupuk..caranya juga sama seperti yang tadi sudah aku bagi ke blogger. Kalau blogger memang termasuk orang yang punya hobby berkebun juga seperti aku, dan barangkali berniat juga untuk ikut berpartisisapi eh partisipasi program penghijauan dilingkungan rumah kita, kenapa nggak coba untuk membeli composter. Composter itu alat yang diciptakan sedemikian rupa untuk membuat kompos sendiri dirumah. Bahan pembuat kompos itu sendiri juga dari sampah rumah.. jadi mulai dari sekarang coba deh peduli lingkungan yang bisa kita mulai dari rumah kita sendiri dulu. Nggak usah muluk-muluk untuk menjadi aktivis greenpeace lah..jadi aktivis rumahan saja dulu, nanti baru jadi aktivis tingkat RT, Kelurahan , baru tingkat dunia deh..hehe..Oya soal komposter ini, gak mahal kok..alatnya juga sederhana. Tapi, ya blogger harus berani kotor dulu ya..percuma soalnya kalo blogger nggak berani berurusan sama sampah yang memang eww bau dan jijik kalo dilihat, tapi kan ada sarung tangan. Nah sebelum memulai pembuatan kompos ini, blogger sebaiknya mengadakan rapat dengan anggota keluarga lain dalam hal komitmen tentang sistem pemisahan sampah terlebih dahulu. Katakan pada anggota keluarga untuk memilah sampah kering dan sampah basah. Mereka harus komit untuk membuang sampah pada tempat yang seharusnya, misalkan sampah plastik, kardus, kertas dan lain sebagainya yang tergolong "kering" ke tempat sampah kering. Sementara untuk sampah basah, seperti sisa makanan, buah, sayur, atau bekas potongan sayur dibuang ke tempat sampah khusus basah. Nah sampah basah inilah yang akan dijadikan kompos.
Lumayankan kita nggak usah repot-repot beli pupuk, sekaligus menghemat uang untuk itu. Tanaman juga nggak akan rusak karena pupuk kimia yang panas, dan mereka jadi cantik pula. Terus gimana dengan sampah keringnya? ya gampang, tinggal dikasih atau dijual aja ke tukang sampah. Biasanya mereka senang tuh dapat botol aqua, gelas plastik, karton susu, kardus, plastik, bahkan kertas. Tapi, untuk sampah berbahaya seperti baterai juga harus diperhatikan lho bloggers..baterai, cat dan bahan-bahan kimia seperti itu sebaiknya dipisahkan sendiri saja. Aku juga masih bingung tuh harus dibuang kemana untuk bahan-bahan seperti itu? Tapi pasti nanti ada solusinyalah..
So bloggers gimana? mau ikutan go green nggak? ayo dong bantu bumi ini untuk survive..hargai si ibu bumi ini, jangan kita rusak..nanti Tuhan marah lho..(ini kata-kata yang biasa aku katakan pada anakku Darren). Boleh sih berpartisipasi bareng greenpeace! Tapi kenapa nggak kita mulai dulu dari lingkungan kita dulu?

Paperwhites
Pungently fragrant paperwhite narcissus are easy to force. You can start them from October through January―enough time for several batches of blooms if you plant bulbs every few weeks (always store unused bulbs in a paper bag at room temperature). There are a number of popular varieties, such as Ziva (shown), Galilee, and Ariel.
How to plant: A tall glass or ceramic container with no drainage holes is best. Pour in two inches of pebbles that have been rinsed free of dust. Add a tablespoon or two of rinsed aquarium charcoal (so the water won't smell "off"), then more pebbles. Place three bulbs, root-side down and almost touching one another, on top. Add enough tepid water to reach just below the bottoms of the bulbs. Replenish when the level falls by a quarter inch.
You'll see blooms: In four to six weeks. Once the blossoms die, toss the bulbs; they won't flower again. Reuse the pebbles for the next batch.
