It’s getting very close to Christmas and for all Musa Blog readers here are the Top 2 Musa Gift Suggestions:
1) An Electronic Weather Station
I’ve owned one of these for the past 10 years and I look at it every single day of the year. These ‘Weather Stations’ show the barometric pressure, humidity and temperature and usually indicate if each measure is rising or falling. The really cool thing is that they have a wireless temperature sensor for outdoors, this means that you can check the outside temperature from the comfort of your kitchen (or wherever you place the main unit). A ‘Weather Station’ is a particularly good gift for anyone vaguely interested in gardening. They can be bought from most electrical retailers and prices typically range from £20 to £45.
2) A Pineapple
This is a great gift idea! A pineapple is cheap; available in all supermarkets; it’s weight makes it an impressive gift when wrapped.
Did you know? . . . . . Pineapple is the only edible bromeliad!
A pineapple is multi-functional and has 3 main uses:
- It makes a really good Christmas decoration and is a good substitute for a tree. (I’ll post a photo of my pineapple when I’ve decorated it!)
- You can eat it.
- And . . . after eating the pineapple, it is possible to plant the topknot and grow a pineapple plant! Another great gift for the gardener! Of course, it needs to grow indoors but can be put outside in the warmest summer months. The following are details of how to grow a pineapple plant, I must admit that I got these details from the web and now can’t remember from which site, so apologies if I am breaching copyright. Also, I’ve never tried this myself.
3 Carefully peel away leaf after leaf to reveal a length of stem. This is where the roots will develop from.
4 Finally, trim the base of the stem neatly, just below the leaf scars, removing all the white stem tissue
6 Place it in a warm, bright position to root. New leaves will soon form in the centre of the topknot.
