Finally got my Roselle! I have already taken a cutting for propagating the only plant I have now. Hopefully, I can successfully clone the plant and viably generate multiple copies of it. My fingers crossed!

I want to start growing a Roselle plant soon. I promise I will be good to it and try my best to propagate as many of the plant as possible!

I cut my Sage plant way too much and it seems to be on the verge of dying now! How I wish I had cut the plant for use instead of throwing everything away. It's really upsetting and unnerving, if not frustrating and irking, to have plants that you love infected with scales, mealie bugs, and the other debilitating pathogens. There were so many infected sites on the lovely plant that I had to cut it all the way from the top, leaving only a few centimetres of it from the soil. I should have checked the cuttings for viable parts before I threw the whole thing into the bin. I was just so consumed by rage, I couldn't really think straight about the situation. I wish I could have done it differently and probably use the cuttings to propagate. Ah well, alas, I can't undo what I have done and I firmly believe it is going to die soon with the remaining infected sites unattended. Thinking about this, my heart has sunk once again.

This is just something I find interesting about my coleus plant. I have a few variants of the coleus plant with foliages of different shades. One fine day, I noticed something peculiar about this one coleus plant, which I grew from a cutting I took from the parent plant I bought at Giant. It turned out that a leaf on this plant actually appears different from the rest of the leaves of this variant. Instead, it is the same as the other variant I have, both in colour and design. Anyways, I think it's easier to just show what I mean with pictures. Maybe it's not that peculiar!

This is the coleus with the peculiar leaf.

The other variant I am talking about. Observe the leaf colour and design of this plant.

The peculiar leaf standing out from the rest of the leaves that define this variant I have. This leaf looks just like the ones above.

Besides my coleus, I have an update on some of the other plants that are currently residing along my corridor. More pictures below.

Ocimum Basilicum

Wormwood after a full trimming, Thank goodness it's growing again.

My codariocalyx desmodium, as promised. This is the younger of the two "gyrans" I have.

Peppermint I just got.

Thai Basil, I believe.

That's all for now. Bye.

As always, I am passionate about gardening with my favourite plants to cultivate being herbs. However, that said, I feel that I have not been doing my gardening correctly. As a self-proclaimed amateur gardener, I believe there's definitely a lot to be learned. I just hope I can get my "corridor garden" the exuberance and splendour deserving of the wondrous plants I have.

These few days have been absolutely inspiring for me. After reading some blog entries and watching youtube entries for some edification, I reckon my desire for gardening has been renewed, not that it has ever really waned or anything. The truth is, I get depressed sometimes when I don't get the results I expected and this disappointed had translated to maybe a short hiatus from caring for my plants sometimes, sorry to say. There should be no reason to short-change my plants anymore, hopefully, from this point on. Even if I may fail in the future, I'm giving it a 25% chance of that with p=0.05 (no reason for this stats), I should just move ahead and just learn from this experience. Right now, it feels like a fresh start for me and I should stay positive about the outcome of the yield. Fingers crossed! Updates coming soon.

Watch this space.

The codariocalyx gyrans plant is truly amazing. I just discovered recently that the leaves, albeit only the smaller ones, can actually move on their own. This observation is congruent with the materials I have read and watched online and adds to the intrigue I have for the plant. Ergo, I would really hope to understand the plant even further, starting maybe from the reason and method of its twitching.

My gyrans is growing and I find it extremely exciting. I can't wait to see it dancing before me but that would take some time for the leaves to develop. So far, the seedlings of codariocalyx gyrans have just been growing for a short time; I have in total only 3 seedlings and only one has produced its true leaves. As such, I reckon it will still take some time before I can witness what gets me excited the most: dancing leaves. I really cannot wait!

Pictures of the plant will be posted in time to come, as soon as the plant establishes itself further with more leaves to boot.
