GBBD - March 2014

My prayers must have been answered! It's raining everyday now since last Friday. That's really great! The environment is really looking clear and fresh! Plants on the street look so green and healthy! They must have enjoyed the showers so much!

My flowering plants are really happy too with abundance of water! No more yellow leaves and dry leaves!

The stunning flowers of Plumeria is still fresh after 1 week plus! They can really withstand hot weather!

This little flowers look so good after a good shower!

 Now I started to realize the value of every drop of rain! Being in tropical country with good weather and good amount of rain make me so ignorant until the weather become upside down since last January ! We never had such a terrible weather all this while. I think this is all the impact of Global warming ! Let's save our world by being green and recycle!

It's all new area ....again....!

I have told about the Heliconia which i chop down due to it's invasive character and about the place which became ideal place for snake. Once all the Heliconia goes......the area become a bare area. After sometimes Torenia, Zinnia and Periwinkles started to self seeds that area. I throw some sunflower seeds which i thought not healthy but one of it emerge!

I planted 2 of my Euphorbia Milii cuttings and shifted my potted Thuja Platcycladus to the ground. There are still a lot of space available and the weeds are growing happily. I'm planning to put more Euphorbia Milii cuttings to make this place very un-inviting to poisonous reptile but I haven't start any..... I'm having to much to handle at the garden now since i have neglected them so long.....sigh...!

Someone told me that Heliconia is a plant which is very hard to get rid off and I think it's very true! Can you see the  baby Heliconia plant at the end corner?!

Euphorbia - propagation

I propagated 2 Euphorbia cuttings 2 weeks back. It was overgrown and bending down due to heavy rain. I never done any before so i started with 2 cuttings.

It's very easy procedure :

1) Cut the tips from mother plant .Be careful about the milky sap.

2) Let it stay on a paper or empty pot for 3-4 hours or 1 day until the milky sap dry out.

3) The cutting is ready to be planted

Few days after planting, it look so unhappy but bounce back after about a week.  I'm planning to propagate few more of the overgrown branches and plant it at a place where my Heliconia was last time. I don't think snake will like this pricky spot anymore ! 

Euphorbia Milii

My Euphorbia Milii have started to flower! Long enough of waiting!

Usually they bloom in a cluster of 6 flowers but sadly my red colour plant just have 2 bloom! Stingy enough.....

The yellow variety is generous enough i guess!

This plant can be grown indoor too!
