Propagate Plumeria Cuttings

My plumeria cuttings arrived last Tuesday. It was quite a wait. The seller threw me extra cutting of other variety for the delay; it could be Saree 5,  I don't know.

There's a mini branch in the package and one branch broke off during transit but I'm not wasting it. I cut the stump of my Malaysian Red too, gonna try to see what happens.

I use clear 1.5l mineral water bottles as the container - I poked some holes at the bottom with a hot metal chopstick which I heated on the stove.

  I used organic soil + burnt soil and perlite as medium.

The single leaf aka middle of the Malaysian Red broke during moving. The plant is thriving but it hasn't rooted yet.

Straightening Them Up

I finally had the time to go get some sticks to straighten up my new plumeria, which is a Kauka Wilder, and while I was at it, the lemon tree was straightened too.
Kauka Wilder unfortunately was impacted by the broken roots. I had to strip most of the leaves off as they have turned yellow and some of them had rust too so now it looks pretty bald. 
I will be getting more plumerias soon, hopefully by this week. I thought I was going to get rooted ones but I would be getting cuttings instead. There had been miscommunication with the nursery so yeah...  Let's just hope I don't kill them.

Hello, How Do You Do

Moving house this time is pretty intense and a long process. We still have boxes unpacked and stuff like that. BUT.... that doesn't stop me from buying more plants! YAY!

Last week, I scored a lemon tree, another plumeria and a gorgeous adenium for my dad, which I feel like keeping it to myself.

The plumeria that I got at a discounted price, MYR45 without me asking for it. I was quite curious as to why the nursery owner was so nice. Being an amateur, I only found out the reason when I wanted to repot it, the plant is terribly slanted that it's almost impossible to plant it straight. Now I need to find a stick to get it straightened. The blooms were pretty nevertheless. Again, the soil crumbled apart during repotting that the roots broke apart. Sigh.

 The gorgeous adenium aka desert rose I'm planning to give to my dad. They are double flowers. 

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

Heh. My very own lemon tree.

Hydrangea Sibilla bought from the florist. I propagated it.
