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.
