Look What You Made Me Do

I really wonder if the maidenhair fern (Adiantum sp. - Peruvianum???) really died this time cos putting in sphagnum moss did nothing. As a lsat resort, I'm putting her in Seramis clay granules with very diluted nutrient water (Seramis vitalnahrung) in a makeshift pots with the plastic food bowl.  I figured I won't dry her out this way this time. I'm very reluctant to buy a new one here because I only see the very tiny-leafed. What we have in Malaysia are of the size that I prefer. 

What's left of her. Roots were so brittle and black.

While potting I did notice a tiny clump of healthier(?) roots.

I thought I was going to lose P. Hastatum (Helena) as her leaves are turning yellow since last week and few days ago, they dropped but a new leaf unfurled. Today I noticed two new root nodes.

I snapped one of the juvenile leaves of P. squamiferum (Squami) when I watered her. Sigh.

Meanwhile, I have a new yellow Crocus flowering. I should get some fence for these. 

A couple of tulips are pushing out their flower buds too.

I didn't plant anything on this part of the yard and it appeared some bulb plants are growing.

Spread the Love

A quick stop at the nearby nursery had me stumbled upon gorgeous Philodendron Squami and they are much cheaper! I wasn't happy with mine so I decided to get one. Look at the comparison, they are of the same price. Not only smaller, the first one was not in a good condition, her bud was totally dried out. The new one has a baby on the side too. It was a great buy. Will be combining both and possibly support her with a moss pole.

 I've been a little naughty too that I took a Monstera leaf (which has an aerial root) and will try to root it although I don't have much expectation to it since there isn't a node. Bottom is the mother plant, I feel she's been quite neglected as she grows a lot of green leaves. She's very likely to lose her mutation and very much possibly an Albo Borsigiana, a naturally mutated variegation.

I also nipped a Philodendron Hastatum baby home. 😱

Also bought Monstera Adonsonii from the local hardware store as a birthday present for SIL. Am contemplating how to glow her up because she's a hot mess! Might make a cutting to propagate for myself too.
