Plants again *hehe*

Ok ... my XXX plant is known as kalanchoe ... i've just reposition them to a shadier spot since according to expert website it will only flower as long as it does not get more than 10 hours of sun light (artificial light included) ... so far my orange and pink ones are starting to flower again *phew* but no signs for my red color one *sigh* maybe it's just resting now or i should just brutally prune it further down the stems .... I've also dug up the soil and the plants are resting on a bed of charcoal for better drainage and less moisture ....

My dearest japanese roses (otherwise known as Portulaca) ... i moved them to a very sunny spot where they will get min 6 hours of direct sun ... did beautifully ... until i itchy hands decided to reposition it ... so now it's in a spot ... where it gets only 3 hours of sun! I only realised it after I had painsakingly repotted the plants into a long trough container ... i guess i'll just let it recover from the "repotting" before i transplant them to yet another pot ...

My chilli padi plants are doing quite well ... one plant have started to flower and the rest seems to be catching up ... also transplanted 3 from pots into a trough as my balcony is overrunned by them! Now i have 7 in pots (i gave away 2 last weekend) and 4 in my trough ...

My hydrangea are doing ok too ... growing but slowly since my backyard doesn't have direct sunlight ... it's bright enough though for it to survive so far in the open (mostly i let the rain does the job of watering the plants unless it's been exceptionally hot for a few days). It's supposed to be the PeeGees type ( shortform for Psomething Grandiflora) and _IF_ it blooms, I can alter the colours by either adding acidic or alkalinic stuff unto the soil ... cool =)

the next mad thing that i'm unto now is trying to have plants that I can eat off (other than my chilli padis) ... been eyeing tomatoes but still thinking since I'm not sure if there is really enough space and if I can even reach out to harvest the fruits ... no harm trying i guess ... just have to limit the size of the pot so that the plants won't grow too big ...

ok tt's all i have for plants ... i think ... what do you think of strawberries?
