Another Hit and Miss

Some plants aren't doing great and I had to have a minor surgery on my foot that I didn't get to spend time taking care of the plants. It has been also too hot lately.

Well, some plants are loving the sun, especially the ylang-ylang. 

The younger bachelor buttons could not withstand the sun, 2 died. 

Yellow calla lilies died. I'm thinking to report this to a smaller pot.

My poor hydrangea.

I should move the tomato planter out to the sun.

2 of the sweet potatoes died. Leaving another 2, the smaller one is not doing too well.

It's so hot, I'm bringing the magnolia lily in. Can't risk it.

Tiny Spruce Up and New Beginning

I was a little concerned with my Tuberose, although it's doing well, I thought it could need some space so separating them would be a great idea. 

I cleaned the clay and separated into 3 portions and transplanted them in a bigger planter.

After transplanting the tuberose, an inspiration to clean up and re-arrange came and it came at a very wrong time - mid-day when the sun is at its best. Spent maybe 15 minutes and here it is:

Some close ups of the plants:

Avocado Miki and Longan: Miki grew a little while I don't see Longan growing at all that's why I move to the front so Longan gets more sun.

Magnolia Coco is reputedly a slow grower but I do see new leaf buds.

Hydrangea looks great - this is before mid-day. She wilted a little when the sun was the strongest.

Highland hydrangea doesn't look like it's gonna make it judging from my experience.

I uprooted the 2 balsam plants that I had as they were infested by whiteflies and spidermites so I'm resowing new seeds. They germinated very quickly - you could see them germinated the day after.

Edamame! Just need few more days so they are more filled up.

My precious, precious PRECIOUS Magnolia Lily. I can see she's liking here, I can see her forming new leaf buds.

 I cut cordyline and put them on vase on my dining table and they rooted so I chopped them off and plunked them onto the same pot. Well look at them! I just love how crazy bright they are when they have most sun. 

This place has becoming the succulent corner.

New leaf buds forming!

Pictorial (So Belated)

Was a little busy of the week.

Edamame blooms come in few colors apparently, I have purple and white so far. I believe there's also yellow.

Tiny pods forming!

Gorgeous Bali Hai Gold, as usual.

I trimmed the Adenium and am thinking to give the avocado seedlings away but to whom??? Meanwhile the lavender revived.

Avocado Miki.

  A shot of the Magnolia Lily for future comparison.

Lowland Hydrangea.

Magnolia Coco. Slow growing as I read somewhere.

So it seems acclimatised hydrangea is still tricky.

Kaffir lime. It was quite neglected until recently I started giving her some fertilizer - the new leaves is the proof she's happy again.

The very abused strawberry is now potted here!

The Indian curry seedling that I repotted to a smaller pot to give way to lowland hydrangea.

Mixed of local aloe vera, cactus, succulents, Amaryllis, mint and chives.

 New ylang ylang bloom.

Haven't seen any growth in this longan.

Tuberose!
