🍋🌿 *DID YOU KNOW? | CALAMANSI TRIVIA* 🌿🍋

Did you know that the plants growing around our school rural farm are more amazing than you think? 🌱✨

Meet one of our most useful and beloved plants—**CALAMANSI! 🍋**

🏫🌱 *At San Gregorio Integrated School, we are proud to have 50 calamansi plants planted around our school*, adding greenery to our surroundings while providing a valuable source of fresh fruits for our school community.

🍋 *TRIVIA #1: A Filipino Favorite!*
Calamansi is strongly associated with the Philippines and is widely grown and used in Filipino cuisine. Outside the Philippines, it is often known as *“Philippine lime”* or calamondin. Its distinct sweet-sour flavor makes it a favorite for sawsawan, juices, marinades, and many Filipino dishes.

🍋 *TRIVIA #2: One Tree, Many Fruits!*
A healthy calamansi tree can produce *thousands of fruits in a year* under favorable growing conditions. Imagine the harvest that 50 trees can provide! 🌳🍋🍋🍋

🍋 *TRIVIA #3: More Than Just the Juice!*
Calamansi peels contain aromatic oils and compounds that have been studied for their potential insect-repellent properties. Even the peel that we usually throw away can have useful applications! ♻️🌿

🌱 *From our school farm to our school community, every plant has a purpose.*

The *50 calamansi plants of San Gregorio Integrated School* remind us that a school rural farm is more than just a garden—it is a *living classroom where learners discover, grow, and appreciate the value of agriculture.* 💚

🍋🌱 *Grow. Learn. Harvest. Share.*

🌱🍆 Y-PRUNING PARA SA MALUSOG NA TALONG! 🍆🌱

Alam mo ba na ang tamang pagpuputol o Y-pruning ay maaaring makatulong upang maging mas maayos, matibay, at produktibo ang halaman ng talong? 🌿

Ang Y-pruning ay isang simpleng pamamaraan kung saan inaalis ang mga hindi kailangang usbong upang mas mapunta ang sustansiya ng halaman sa mga pangunahing sanga, bulaklak, at bunga.

✨ Bakit mahalaga ang Y-pruning?
🌱 Mas maayos at matibay ang paglaki ng halaman
🍆 Mas maraming bulaklak at potensyal na ani
☀️ Mas magandang sirkulasyon ng hangin at pagpasok ng liwanag
🐛 Nakatutulong sa pagpapanatili ng malinis at malusog na halaman
🧑‍🌾 Mas madaling alagaan at obserbahan ang tanim

📌 Tandaan: Gumamit ng malinis at matalim na gunting. Regular na obserbahan ang halaman at alisin ang mga hindi kinakailangang usbong o dahong may sakit.

Sa Rural Farm School, hindi lamang tayo nagtatanim—natututo rin tayong mag-alaga, mag-prune, at magpalago ng masaganang ani! 🌱💚

Maliit na pagputol, malaking ani! 🍆✨
