The Medium

I usually shop my gardening tools at Ace Hardware in Mid Valley but a recent visit to Ace Hardware in Publika just wowed me - they have a wider and attractive range. Today I bought a 12-litre New Zealand sphagnum moss and more perlite to repot BF's pitcher plant. I also bought some coco peat save for future plumeria rooting too. The Saree cutting had rot too I had to cut them away and dry the tips again. I'm just missing one thing - neem oil. I suppose I could buy it when I'm visiting Europe this month. Yes, I'll be traveling again and I will bringing a couple of plumeria cuttings for BF's mom and partner. They love gardening, I hope they would enjoy plumeria as much as I do.
I'm very happy that the guppy has given birth - last count was 16 babies. I have removed some of the evasive duckweeds, I can see the guppies are happy about that. BF seems happy to see the babies. I think at one point I would have to donate the guppies to the neighbourhood fish shop for sale.

I was pretty industrious after spending the weekend with a bout of stomach flu (fever included) - I cleaned up the filthy floor at the balcony. I pulled out the dead hydrangea and cleared the soil. I changed the position of the stick that straightens my Kauka Wilder. I fastened the tall lotus leaf with wire so it would stand straight. And oh, I'm experimenting garlic growing too.

I should be investing in another fiddle fig leaf for the living room after I return from my European vacation. My kitchen is a bit dark so I'm unsure if I should put a fiddle fig leaf there, it's looking a bit sad there.

And just wanna share that I felt so good that I did some gardening today :D

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.
