Seedlings

French beans. Tidied them up with some sticks.

Edamame. 

Longan. I was just testing growing from seed. I would buy a grafted/marcotted one from farmer's market when we move to a landed property.

I sowed at least 7 seeds but only 2 germinated.

A variety of Aeonium (valverdense?) that I brought back from Santorini last June.

The New and The Gones

The replacement to my dying magnolia coco arrived this afternoon. I hope I don't kill her again.

This was the old one.

On a happier note, a Malaysian Red Plumeria that I saw at the nursery while picking up the new hydrangea. By the way, there are only 4 varieties of plumerias left in my balcony. My Malaysian Red died too. I will wait until we move to a landed house before starting my plumeria collection again.

Eucalyptus that I picked from a local florist to decorate home as we are having guest over.

Hi

Chives, cactus and mint.

Avocado seedlings and Amaryllis that I force-hibernated for a few months in the kitchen closet. 

I transplanted my stagnant wild strawberry. 

Balsam seedlings (from seed) that I bought from the farmer's market. 

Over-matured Japanese kale.

Lavendar has grown a little too wild.

New hydrangea to replace a recently deceased hydrangea, I lost it to crown rot.

The ever-wild basil. 

New addition: Lemon seedling sharing the pot with a basil seedling (seed from the ever-wild basil) and some portolucas from my dad's pot.

These are french bean plants, dwarf variety. Got the seeds from the farmers' market too. Other seeds that I've bought and sown are pink bachelor's button and edamame.

My happy Ylang Ylang. It was full of blooms a couple of weeks ago.

Bought a Magnolia Coco a month ago and apparently I planted her into the wrong type of soil. The seller was kind enough to replace me with a new one. 

Updates and New Additions

Over the past weekends, I've bought few new plants.

New lavender! Yay! Been searching for this quite some time.

Medinilla myriantha, also known as Malaysian Grape. 

I also got myself an Ylang Ylang plant. 

The scent of the flowers filled the balcony, no joke. 

2 new ground covers that I pinched from my dad's bonsai pots.

 A variety of Japanese roses, from my dad's garden. It's fuchsia, white and orange.

An Indian curry plant seedling. 

Red okra seedlings! Now occupying the pot that used (actually somewhat) mint from Austria. The mint died and only one tiny plant survived which is the one at 2 o'clock in the picture right now.

Nai pak seedlings on the right, Japanese kale seedlings on the left.

Local mints that I grew from seeds which I got as a gift. 

My basil seedlings revived after suffering from lack of water. Next to it was the Ylang Ylang bloom that fell off when I was transporting it to the balcony.

Supermarket lemon seedling.

2 rogue basil seedlings in my empty pot. 

Wild strawberry and a random seedling - I'm keeping it for now to see what it is.

Clemson okra pod that I'm planning to let it to seed. Seems like it's reaching its end soon.

Avocado seed from my colleague's lunch that I'm germinating now.

Hit & Miss

I have been pretty diligent lately, spending more time at the balcony taking care of the plants and watering a lot more since it has been really hot. 

Monkey pitcher is now sharing the pot with a rogue fern.

Alor Vera from Spain, succulent from Santorini are doing pretty well after much care and fertilizing. 

Bentong ginger isn't doing well - it doesn't need as much water that I thought it'd be. 

My pot of random succulents are looking better. A lot had died as you can see and I've started to fertilize them. See those fertilizers? They stink like chicken poo. 

More basil seedlings popped out on the mint pot. 

Transplanted the hydrangea to a bigger pot with Miracle-Gro soil that used to house the miniature gardenia. Oh the gardenia died after almost week of transplant. 

Desert rose flowering again!

Okra plants are still producing - this time shooting out from the leaves too. 

Okra container is sharing with a single shallot that grew shoot. Those seedlings in the egg box are basil seedlings for my colleague.

Sowed some Japanese kale seeds and they have sprouted the next day. It's sharing container with white turnip (free seeds from the usual site I bought my seeds).

Wild strawberries are growing pretty slow. I have made a mistake by planting them too deep covering the crown. 

The rest of baby Chinese kales that I grew the last time. 

Those aren't evening primrose, they are mints actually. 

My chives are so small! 

Supermarket lemon seedling!
