Ambition of a lazy cum lousy gardener

Almost one year back, I wrote a story about my new passion about gardening in this entry. 

And there was no update about the progress of the plants afterwards.  Initially, being the so-called new gardener, I changed its ugly container to a much prettier vase.

For a start, I watered it, almost everyday, and gradually it became once in two days, aanndd once in a week, and worse,I let it grew on its own, until finally the soil dried out and- hmm, the plants died. What a lousy gardener I was.

I thought I had had enough with gardening thing. I am simply talentless in growing plants! However, when Ju Zie gave me her vase of pokok bunga kertas before her departure, I guess I can start over again the gardening. *wink*

I will be moving out to my new house soon. So now I am in a thorough effort of taking care this plant with the hope that some flowers will flourish out of it before it is relocated to the new house.

Plus, I bought the fertilizers to increase the growth rate, and  this daisy flower plant. I like the vibrant colors despite my initial intention of not dealing with flower plants. Ohh.. let see what will happen to this creature after a weeks. ah-ha~

Well at least I can ascertain myself that I am still a worthy plant care-taker. Haha!

gardening as a newbie

The idea to do gardening was triggered lately when I moved in to new house to live with two new housemates. Coming back from office day to day, especially when I had a busy day, I found that the sight of growing life before our eyes was a good theraphy to help me unwind.

Initially, I was quite sceptical on my ability to grow a plant from seeds.I wonder whether I am capable to keep it alive, knowing I was not around everyday to water them as good as nursery would advise. But, why not if I give a try , isn`t? During one weekend, I started to find some plants from my auntie`s collections. The results were, I got bunch of them from my generous aunty!

This plant caught my interests as it has different shades of colors, and thats all I wanted, colours!Oh anyway, just ignore the container as I will put it in a proper vase as it grows larger.

Another is , this pokok puding, I love it to see that there will be new leave grow when I came back from business  trips.

These red leaves keeps on growing and growing from day to day. It`s exciting to see the progress!

The tricky part is this stem. I purposely planted this bunga kertas from the stem, and captured the progress from time to time. I don`t know how old it turn out to be before it died due to my gardening-lousiness. Anyway, it is intriguing to find it out later. Hmmm hmmm..


Well, I don`t bother much about name of  these plants. At the end in mind, I want to see the plants I instilled in the soil will grow to produce a beautiful flower and vibrant colors in front of my house for my mental stabilizing process upon coming back from office.Easy!
