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*.

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.

New Growth

I did not expect Peperomia hovaria leaf to root so quickly, it is a pleasant surprise to see one of them is.

Ok, one sprout is growing underwater for pussy willow.

More growth on MV.

I teased another new leaf out and this time it revealed the tip/growth point. These 3 leaves are gonna be so ugly.

A bok choy head that I saved because it looks so interesting and I'm trying to make a bang for the buck.

Tulips are in season, yippie.

No Winter Break

I've just realised that I didn't show the new unfurled leaf of Squami. The colour has darkened as days passed.

I finally teased the leaves out from the flap/sleeve/sheath/balde/help? using a tweezer. The new leaves would take ages to unfurl and looks like they are misshapen.

Just take a look at Michelle (P. hederaceum Micans) being so happy growing so many and has started to vine/trail/creep.

The flower of Little White Soldiers has changed. Now maybe this is why it is called Little White Soldiers, I was wondering why was it called 'white' when the spots of the leaf is dark. 

Maranta leuconara Fascinator, Fiona, is one happy girl too. She's sprouting two more new leaves.

Oops I...

So erm, the fernleaf cactus aka Selenicereus chrysocardium seems to have a type of virus so I was told to smear some cinnamon on them. Hope that works.
And so I got myself a Monstera Variegata cutting. I believe it is an Albo Borsigiana looking at how she grows. 


Today I finally sorted some things out.
Made myself a cutting from the Monstera Adonsonii. 

Got myself leaves of Peperomia Hovaria & Rosso and a very tiny Philodendron Pedatum sapling when I went to the nursery to get a pot for Adonsonii.

Finally, Pluto pushed that leaf out revealing another two leaves. That leaf was like a stubborn plug! I've been putting Pluto near the humidifier. I'm unsure if that's the factor.

I also combined both the Squamis so she looks so much fuller despite just the extra two leaves. Repotting her also made her look tidier and her leaves are more prominently displayed.

So was the Adonsonii. She's a beauty. Interesting fact: the true size of the mature leaf is up to 30cm. What a giant.

Winter Growing

I was prepared although little disappointed that I no longer 365 days of constant humid warm days which would be absolutely fantastic for my plants, some of these darlings definitely brightened my days by pushing out leaves.

Little White Soldiers do not rest at all! They've been growing! The spots are rather prominent on the new leaves.

Ms Olea's new leaves are weird - looking more like curry leaves. Her leaves are also thinner and missing her signature silver abaxial. 


There's some change to Philodendron Pluto's bud. Perhaps having the humidifier did make a change.


I finally moved both Stephania Erecta to LECA in a glass jar and leave them on the radiator after the one on the soil is dehydrated and crinkled. Yes you read right. And surprise, surprise, the dehydrated one might be sprouting soon! *Happiness*



Ive also made some Macramé hangers for the creeping babies. Oh Philodendron Micans for sure is putting out some growth! She's putting out so many new shoot and leaves!


The hangin cactus fern leaf fell off few nights ago and one branch was broken. 

Was visiting a giant hardware store and there was a very beautiful pot of Epiphyllum Disocactus Anguliger aka fishbone/ric rac/zig zag cactuc. In the pot, there was a loose broken branch and guess what I did?? :D. The 'cutting' seemed very recent as it's not really calloused yet so yeah.
The other jar on top contains lipstick plant (Aeschynanthus Japhrolepis). I've removed the tiny P. Micans cutting from the plastic container and dumped her in the same glass jar as the cactus leaf fern cuttings.
