Alocasia Pink Dragon Variegated.
Mint or Albo. Need a change of lighting condition and see if it makes any difference.

After so long, finally gotten my hands on another pot of the Black Velvet Variegated Pink

Finally large enough to propapate a topcut. Keeping the basecut, for more propagations

First sale of the propagated Siam Auroro

Nepenthes Maia Variegated

Only 1 pot avsilable

25th August
12pm to 6pm

Homolomena Sp Variegated

Crazy Army Variegation.
Grown from a offshoot from the motherplant so I know the variegation is constant. Not all offshoots from the same motherplant will give such amazing variegation.

Only 1 piece available.

Got this as a freah cut from a trusted seller. Did not pay much attention to it and was left in one corner of the plot.

Took about 6 weeks for a node to activate and unfurled a new leaf.

A few more leaves and will have to make the decision to pole it up or to propagate it.

Philodebdron Joepii Mint Variegated

I have finally mustered the skill of not murdering it. Loving the variegation as it starts to upsize.

Anthurium Clarivernium Variegated

This is not a plant post. Just a me post.

Growing plants wasnt the first passion I had in my life. Photography WAS as I loved the idea of freezing the moment.

It was a hobby that brought me joy as I walked around with a camera in hand. From Macro to landscape to street, each snap meant alot to me.

It won me awards that I never thought I could and eventually dabbled into paid events photographer for corporate events and weddings.

Years of shooting for the National Day Parade and Ceremony brought me satiafaction that a self taught skill I have enabled me to play a role for the Nation. It fills the gap of the longing for national service after I left the airforce regular service.

Alas, an event in life many many moons ago made me give up on photography.

------------------

Maybe its the age and the stage of life but flash backs have been happening more often.

I lost all photos that I took before as I had stored them in a harddisk that had become faulty. Thanks to FB, some memories still retains though in low resolutions.

The desire to capture the moment has been creeping back and the thoughts of doing so while I still can has been growing stronger bit by bit.

Maybe I will and should do so if the opportunity is right and life event changes.

This is the first and maybe the last non plant post I will do in this ĥandle as this account is meant for the plant hobby.

Just felt the need to write on a sleepless night.

Prepare in the night till it feels abit chilly. Decided to go home.🤣

These are the Aglaonemas I prepared for from 9th to 11 Aug.

Too many? Still got other genus of plants such as Aroida, Jungles, Caudex and etc.

How to bring? Enough booth space?

Please share the post if you know Aglaonema lovers.

Propagated multiple pots of
1) Leea Zippeliana Timika
2) Leea Zippeliana Pink

Took months of propagation and intended to bring them all for the Pets and Plants Extravaganza from 9th to 11th August.

However 1 by 1, they were sold to people who walk into the plot and these are all I have left of the Leea Zipps.

Visit us at Marina Barrage from 9th to 11th if you intend to get one. The next batch of propagation will take another few months again.

Been into these easy to care plants that are easy to care. Can leave them anywhere indoor with light. Infrequent watering once weekly.

Not the easiest to import though as lost quite a few due to shipping stress. Those which survives are easy to acclimatised though.

Sinningia Canescens

Agave Potatorum Cv Ouhi-Raijin Variegata.

With the right potting mix, these have become easy care plants.

More Agaves to come?

Has been a long long time since I got out of my hole. Finally decided tobget a booth and will be at the Pets and Plants Extravaganza.

Has been quiet and the plot is overflowing with propagations. Just a matter of how to bring there? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
