I have a terrace with plenty of plants, but for some reason, basically only cactus and a few other plants survive. I know Malta is very hot, but still, I have noticed today, in the puddles in my terrace, how when they have dried they leave plenty of sediment, apparently some kind of salts, and I am starting to think that this is the cause of all my dead trees and other plants (or at least, a good contributor to this situation).
The question, what I could do? I mean, I cannot water my plants with bottled water. Is there some kind of filter or simple method to get rid of excess salts?
What are your experiences? have you experienced similar problems?
