Lifelong Dream Achieved

It has always been a dream of mine to have my own Peonies and here I am with a new Paeonia lactiflora  ‘Shirley Temple‘  She even has 2 flower buds although one of them snapped so I have to apply first aid kit after bringing her home. She’s surprisingly cheap, less than €7. Yas!

Sun Loving

Monstera Variegata grew a very long aerial root I don't know what to do because it's in the way of everything.

Transplanted most of the water-rooted plants.

I should do the same for Strings of Turtles too but I'm just lazy. 

P. Pedatum looking pretty lush and cute although she hasn't showed her true leaf form. I like how compact she is.

Sansiviera has grown 2 babies.

Stephania Erecta revived! Yeah! I can see roots from the outside and that's very statisfying.

My happy girl Squami grew so tall it snapped so it's time for propagate.

She also grew a new bud.

After months of no action, hoya grew new pair of fishtails and growing another at the base.

Everyone's Woken Up

Marantha continues to bloom more.

Look who's unfurling a new leaf! It's the Monstera Variegata! Her root game is strong I might to repot soon.

Pluto also has been throwing out new leaves.

Squamiferum is going nuts! She even branches out now.



Hovaria finally sprouted! 

Kaffir lime is also enjoying the extra sunshine she's getting she's sprouting new leaves. They are yummy.

Krimson Princess also woke up, she has some blush now due to the sunshine and growing some new leaves. Micans is always a happy camper, look how full she is now in the background and she's gotten very long that I pinned it back to the soil so she can be fuller.

There are some fungus growing on the tongranulat for both Networks that I'm cutting down the watering but it's great to see her pushing out a lot of leaves. 

Another that's not too good is the mother cactus leaf fern, she's deteriorating. I don't know what's wrong with her, I'm just glad I have some rooted ones as spare. 
I was a little worried with Stephania as all her roots rotted after I pulled her out the other day, but today I pulled it again to see if she's rotted and she didn't instead she grew some roots. I really hope I didn't harm her again this time so I transfered to tongranulated instead. Now that it's warmer I moved her to the window sill. *Pray*.

Longer & Warmer Days

Yay, spring is finally here! I'm so happy. 
Neighbors have started to do some spring cleaning and planting flowers in their garden. While mine.... well has a bit of color now that the tulips are starting to bloom.



Finally! Pink Charms bloomed! For a while I thought I got cheated.

This patch of darker tulips are taking its time to bloom.


The buds on the branches of the hydrangea on the right side of the garden is wilting although the growth on the base isn't. Don't know whats going on with her?

 Random plant that I'm looking forward to seeing bloom. I think I planted something there but I don't remember what.

Edibles.


My starters. Some not doing too well. Previous salad and green onionsseedlings died because I was neglecting them.

This baby is out enjoying the sun although I haven't seen any new growth. Well as along as it's not etiolating I guess it's fine?

New Season

My babies back in Malaysia. Doesn't seem like I will be getting them in May (planned to head back) since Coronavirus is spreading.

Mama Pluto.

Sister can't remember if this was Gloriosum or Pastazanum.

Monstera Variegata grew another aerial root and I decided it was time to transplant it, I also covered the aerial root so it can grow more roots.

Bought a Pinguicula (labeled as Tina but after a Google check, it doesn't look like it). 




Finally Pluto is growing properly, kind of, although not as tight as the mother plant.

Philodendron Pedatum grew shoots so I transplanted them into Seramis.

The cactus ferns were transplanted to. The mother plant of Cactusleaf fern isn't doing particularly well, it emitted some rotting smell so I pulled it out of the soil, washed its roots and put it into a jar of water. 





Garlic chives and green onions.

My mixed salad seedlings are awfully leggy.

I transplanted garlic seedlings into soil and seems a couple aren't doing too well.
