Air cleaning of closed rooms with potted tropical plants goes back to the 80 s. with Dr. B.C. Wolverton while employed with NASA at the John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.

Since that time experiments are on the way. http://exoticplantsasia_air_depolluting_plants

A - proven - nourishing recipe to keep insects away

1 part of molasses for 3 parts of plant leaves : Citronella grass, or if it is not available Lemon grass rhizomes ( Cymbopogon citratus ) , Kaffir ( Citrus hystrix ) , Azadirachta indica var. siamensis, a Meliaceae and old leaves of Alpinia siamense, a Zinziberaceae.

The Azadirachta ( " Sadao " in Thai ) is known to be essential in the formulation. Under heat in a close container the energetic mixture ferments in 7 days and is ready to use as a fertilizer when watering plants and vegetables. It is a very powerful preparation for repelling insects and is said to match all plant needs in terms of macro & micro nutriments, vitamins and even hormones.

A tremendous effect on the plant appearance. However there are some drawbacks; the plants will be killed in no time with a wrong concentration or over use : every 10 days a maximum of 1 tablespoon of the fermented mixture in 10 litres of water is a good precaution.
Every week the liquid must be blended. The shelf life of a preparation is about 3 - 4 weeks.

Chitosan ( Poly-D-glucosamine ) in horticulture is a fertilizer and an active ingredient of bactericides and fungicides for crops, ornamental plants and turf. It is a growth stimulator in tissue culture. Chitosan is also an efficient reducer of foliar transpiration during shipments : we routinely do foliar spraying several days before shipping and we use a dipping solution the day of packing bare root plants that will travel.

We have reported our own experiments with this biomaterial; they include precise protocol descriptions and survival rates : contact us for more details, we sell the very inexpensive dry Chitosan in quantities as small as 100 gr. ( 0.2 to 1 gr diluted in salicylic acid or any other non phyto-toxic acid will add to water to make 1 liter of solution )

" ..The chitosan biopolymer has applications in waste water treatment, pulp and paper ,in medical and cosmetic products, biotechnology, food and feed and membranes. In agriculture, chitosan has been used in seed, leaf, fruit and vegetable coating [2], as fertilizer and in
controlled agrochemical release , to increase plant product , to stimulate the immunity of plants [7], to protect plants
against microorganisms and to stimulate plant growth.

In the latter studies, a positive effect of chitosan was observed on the growth of roots,shoots and leaves of various plants......."

S Chatuchak market being connected by electric train it has become easier than before to spend there long hours looking for plants. Knowledge of plants and their cultivation are deep traits of the Thai culture. Despite a very high tax rate on plant import, which limits propagation of new plant material in Thai nurseries, the choice at Chatuchak market remains so far second to none in South East Asia and many plants are cheap.

Professional buyers come from all parts of Thailand; some may begin to queue outdoors starting at 18 : 00 , while those coming from the farthest places may start at 2 : 00 am. Then at a more reasonable time in the morning, frenetic crowds of mixed professionals and collectors will be seen strolling, to purchase retail or order at wholesale.

Here are a few tips for buying in a view to export : the plants on offer at Chatuchak market are usually purchased to be cultivated domestically. Plants that have been dug out from the ground and are directly potted , if shipped soon afterwards by plane - bare roots or in a new mix - may have a lower survival rate. Also over fertilization of plants to be exported put the survival rate at risk. reduced chances of suIt is certainly best to buy plants from a plant exporter, and it is possible to contact them through vendors on the spot. Buying plants following an advance agreement will be a good precaution.
