00:00Aside from the beauty of the surroundings,
00:03there are also many health benefits of the edible flower wishbone.
00:07It can be used as a tea or as a garnish.
00:11There is a way for you to have access to this wonder plant in your own garden.
00:16Grow it yourself!
00:19Food explorers, to those who are fond of salads, I have good news for you.
00:23If you don't have backyards or lands to plant,
00:27you can just plant it in the fields.
00:30I will teach you how to plant a wishbone.
00:33We just need a container.
00:35The growing media we use is pit moss,
00:39but you can also use vermicast, whichever is available to you.
00:48After three weeks, this is our seedling.
00:53We will just transfer it to a small field.
00:57We will just put a hole in the middle.
01:00That is where we will put our seedling.
01:04Once the roots of our seedling are established,
01:07we can transfer it to a bigger pot.
01:28Since you don't have land to plant or to transfer it,
01:32you can transfer it to a bigger pot.
01:36If you want, you can add different colors.
01:40They won't fight or fight each other.
01:44They can get along well.
01:46Like this, all of these are wishbones.
01:48The only difference is the color.
01:50As long as you know that the moisture is still okay,
01:53you don't need to water it regularly.
01:56If you water it regularly,
01:58it will just grow leaves and not flowers.
02:02You can transfer it to any place,
02:04whether it is Manila or a hot place,
02:06it will still survive.
02:08It just needs enough sunlight and proper watering.
