Oh my plants...

Sigh...my plants...it's either one or the other who will give me a headache.

Miss Water Plum is now suddenly protesting and many leaves are turning yellow. Just when I thought I did a good job of nursing it back to health after the mealybug infestation. Maybe I shouldn't have put fertiliser on it. Maybe I shouldn't have sprayed it with the organic insecticide last week.

So which caused the yellowing leaves? The insecticide? The fertiliser?

Sigh...see how it goes.....

Moss Rose! One flower finally bloomed! I was so happy this morning when I saw that lone pink bud appeared. After 3 months of fighting against the mealybugs and trimming it almost bare...it started sprouting new buds and shoots a few weeks ago and over the past week experienced a growth spurt after the heavy rains...Grow well please! And may more flowers bloom!

Japanese Bamboo
This fella is still not doing well. leaves are dropping left, right and centre. It looks really bare now. Could be root rot.....cos I plucked out a stem just now....and it came off easily...
I need to find time to repot it....hopefully that solves the issue....

I need to find time to trim the main Indian Borage plant too and pass to our neighbour....
