Keep the pot semi-covered for some air flow, rinse regularly and you will get to harvest plenty of bean sprouts within 48 hours.Watch this short video below to see the outcome (click here (remember to give me a like/👍 there :)) to watch in YouTube)...The bean sprouts were harvested within 48...

Mung bean sprouts also known as tauge in Malay are little wonders! You can literally watch those tiny mung beans send out roots right away after soaking them overnight. Their short stems will form shortly after right before your eyes.Healthy powerhouse - crunchy bean sprouts - for health in just 48 hours :DThis was how those bean sprouts look while inside a sprouting bottle...My 'Grand Duke...

I was so excited to chance upon a little yellow bud from my fittonia plant while watering. When I took a closer look, there's actually another bud.This plant has been growing in the same open terrarium for years now. Although it has past its prime in terms of look, it is doing really well in terms of health. Otherwise, it will not flower at...

Here are several updates from my small garden.Firstly it is really a surprise to see an old plant called Madagascar periwinkle blooming. I have previously grown this one which is white and has a pink eye. But that was a long time ago. Perhaps, this new plant sprouted from a seed that's inside some re-used soil.False heather or Mexican heather is a really robust plant. Each time...

While we are enjoying the cooler weather, I can see that the plants in the garden seem to be also thriving happily. Below is a pot of begonia called 'Martin's Mystery' which I had replanted with a couple of...

'Recovery' Blooms

Thursday, July 02, 2020

During this recovery phase of the movement control order to keep the Covid-19 spread at bay, one thing that I am glad of is that I can now go out more 'freely'. The Kaempferia pulchra plants that are in the garden were infested by snails earlier. So, I discarded the whole pot of the bulbs and replanted a few of them. They are in...

I have been growing my Sandpaper Vine (Botanical name: Petrea volubilis) for a number of years in a 12-inch pot. The vine was earlier placed at a location that is just below the gutter of my porch. So whenever the gutter overflows due to the heavy rain, the splash can be too strong for the vine to take. Recently I found a new small...

See that tiny white bloom in the pic below? It is the flower of my rosemary. Perhaps the warm weather over the past one week has promoted the blooming activity in this plant. Regardless, the dainty flower is looking really delightful. Haven't noticed any bees coming by yet though.  Hey, Mr Bee are you buzzing around? I bet you can't find a similar flower around here....

In a country with hot and humid climate like Malaysia, keeping plants alive can be challenging. Plants especially potted ones need to be watered on a daily basis. So, gardening means tending plants every day. But once you get used to the routine and see the plants growing happily just like my Chalice Vine, you will feel happy as well.
